Have you checked the GPS settings? Are you allowing Windows to control it or manually (if manually, try comm port 4 at 4800 or so).

I let window control the gps with comm 4 and 4800 selected. when I turn off windows control nothing works. I dont get it.

Does GPStoday ever cause your devices to hang on a soft-reset? I've noticed this on various devices...most notably the GSM Treo Pro.

How can i set the app to stay on. I press the red satellite button and get a lock. after about 30 seconds it goes off and I need to press the red satellite button again to get a sat lock. Is there a way I don't have to keep pressing the sat button every 30 seconds?

If you press the little red box, and slide it all the way over to the right, it'll stay green then.

Of course our own opinion is biased, but here is how:

At the most basic level, except street-view and live traffic, GPStoday does everything that google maps does, but GPStoday also does a whole bunch of things google maps does not. Some of these are listed below:

1. GeoWeather: Automatically see your GPS based local weather, and/or get the weather for any location on map.

2. GeoTagger: Automatically geotag pictures you snap on your phone with your GPS position, and/or geotag pictures by choosing location on map.

3. GeoLogger: Log your movements with near survey quality to a file on your phone. View the log file track on the GPStoday map, even "play" it back if needed. Upload to your online account from within the app. Manage/View/Export to GPX on website.

4. Always see your street address, nearest contact from address book, or your geogroups network.

5. GeoGroups: Map and share points-of-interest, pictures, messages, with friends/family or like-minded folks, or as a private location sharing hub for all your company's employees. http://www.geoterrestrial.com/geogroups/

6. GeoAlerts(coming soon): Get notified whenever something of your interest happens in your vicinity.

7. The list is too long. Goto http://www.geoterrestrial.com/ to see all the features.

Thanks,
-The GeoTerrestrial Team
