I'm likin' it. Not a whole lot changed (if anything?), but the "my location" is more accurate and faster, for me. Thanks for the post T. dschoenike

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

Thanks!! I like Googlemaps (actually I am torn between Google and Live, they each have parts I LOVE)!! I will check this new version out....any word on if the 'My Location' is available on more devices now?

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

I've had this a few days, anyone besides me think it takes longer to find a SAT than the old version?

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

I think its about the same for me. I ran it 3 times on cold starts, and i'm getting a 7 sat lock after about 13 seconds. I'm still on sprints 3.35 official wm6 rom. dschoenike

It actually seems quicker to me, LOL.

I may actually quit using it... I DL'd amAze, yesterday & love it. I don't see the need for 3 navigation/search apps, so I'll probably end up with just Live & amAze.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

What are you using to prime the GPS? I need something with a small footprint as I was using googlemaps to prime but don't wanna have to do that as it kills ram having both apps running.

Still messing with amAze and I haven't really had a chance to test it in realworld situations yet as I ride the metro to work. Maybe this weekend. I don't really like the interface on amAze though. Too many field boxes to enter stuff into. I also noticed that when I got a call it disconnected me and closed the program. And it didn't save my route when I got back in. That sucks. I know with livesearch it'll go back to your route after a call. It also didn't have hybrid available in my area of Herndon, VA.

Looks like amAze still needs some work. If live gets voice and 3d maping like amAze, then it's all over.

I forget the name... TodayGPS, I think.
Actually, after the 1st usage, I didn't have to prime it, anymore. It boots & finds sats just fine.
Yup. Aside from voice, Live is great... I like it better than the Nuvi I used a while back as the maps are virtually up to the minute.


I've used Amaze every time I've gotten in the car & found it screwed up a couple of times - once trying to send me the WRONG way down a one way street. However, it's quick about recalculating a new route.

The glaring weakness, imo, compared with Live is that there isn't an option to find contacts. Live provides this & I love it... I have a few hundred contacts & no... I don't know how to get to all of them from everywhere in the city.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

I installed it yesterday and tried a few times. It is also taking about the same time for me to acquire.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

Right-on Maybe its just my location.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

My lock seems to be a bit faster,and (my location) is more accurate and faster .

I'm love it :headbang:

Thanks T M Z

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

just used it to drive from warner robins, georgia to virginia beach and it was pin point perfect and if you took a wrong turn with the gps on the titan it was easy and quick to adjust. I don't know if you guys ever noticed but if you are driving with it on and the gps working it will point in what direction you are driving to let you know if you are off course. I hope they make it with speach instruction with the next upgrade.

So, I put the Transit directions of Google maps to the test today. It was spot on, told me what time the train would be there and gave me the options of sooner or later times and calculated a rough walk time. The reverse directions were of a big help because I did not know were the train picks up to go back the way I came. I did notice that it took longer to get a sat link in the city, but that could have been caused by the buildings.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

I still get the same message that my handset (Sprint Touch with official new rom and 6.1) is not compatible with the My Location beta feature. I mean I can use the GPS, but this My Location stuff still comes up with that message, is that normal or what?

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

Ya I get this to dont worry about it.
With version 2.0.1.31 if you hit menu and "My Location" you will get that error. But if you click "Use GPS" first and get a connection you can click "My location" and it will work but will be no different than clicking "Use GPS".

"Use GPS" finds your location.

Re: Google Maps NEW BUILD
 

Thanks man...I just figured that out myself just after posting it. Does your phone also have issues with it having a hard time to find the GPS if you haven't used it in a while? Usually I have to let Sprint Navigation run it's course, then it will tell me that the GPS signal is weak, then I do a soft reset, and the GPS works right away. Cumbersome to say the least!
