Mine doesn't blink on my touch.

I see an icon with binoculars in the website faq. Whats it do and how to activate? All I have is the clock for setting GPS intervals.

geotagging adds GEOgraphic coordinates of where the picture was taken into an internal TAG in the JPG file. When you upload such pictures to Flickr or Google (Some say Microsoft Live Albums too) the tag is recognized and picture is placed on the map.

I do not see a definite answere if this app would create a GPS log file for external picture tagging. Any suggestions?

GPSToday seems to bring my Touch's GPS to its knees. I installed it and left the default configuration, auto-updating its location. However, after the phone has been in standby for a while, the GPS stops working. The GPS appears to be enabled, with satellites, but it won't obtain update its location. Upon reset, GPS works fine again. Has anyone else experienced this?

BTW, I'm using the Almost OEM ROM which may have older drivers. I plan to the Official release for the Touch soon.

I think I may have the same problem.

After a soft reset I get GPS locks in just a few seconds. It seems though, that as soon as I lose a GPS signal (or maybe go into standby) it's gone until I soft reset again.

Not sure if it's a problem with the app, or maybe something with the new ROM. I'm going to play around with uninstalling etc. to see if this is the case.

It sounds like your using the new official ROM and having the same issues. Dang! I was hoping the new ROM would resolve this.

Greetings. I thought maybe this link would be helpful for everyone who has questions about gpstoday. It's a pretty long thread, but it covers alot of issues and details of the software. One of the developers participates quite a bit in the discussion, and answers alot of the questions. dschoenike http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...light=gpstoday

Interesting. In post #177 the developer says the problem of GPS locking up after repeated use is a known issue with the mogul.

Anyone care to comment, I seem to have it on my touch.

yeah, i remember reading that. i'm not sure why, but i've never had an issue on my mogul with gpstoday. its been running great for months now. not sure if it matters, but im still using the offical sprint 3.35 rom.

Anyone know how to actually get a map to show up? It says my address is 999 Street City, ST 12345.

When I go to check the map it just shows a blank white screen with the coordinates at the top and a dot in the center (i guess my current location).

EDIT: Just before anyone asks...yes my data connection is on/active and I do have a GPS fix.
