Waiting on the today plugin version :-[

I installed it early yesterday and had problems getting the map to display. Bunches of changes to the layout, for the most part nice, but really nothing outstandingly different. Back to the previous today plug-in last night.

BenC,
The new version uses ms virtual earth maps instead of google maps, therefore the map images were probably not already in your cache, causing them to be downloaded afresh.
Besides that, GPSToday now does driving directions, location sharing, and most importantly, geogroups. Any user can now create or join a geogroup to collaborate on location data, without having to divulge your identity. Being the group-owner of a popular group will have (monetary) benefits down the line. Early users have already snapped up the most important groups like speed-traps, geocaching, foreclosures and so on.
Also, the today-plugin version with all the new features will be released next week.

Thanks

Edit: infact it looks as if no one has yet created a group "ppcgeeks-users" or similar.

Did you have to do any configuring to your phone to get GPStoday to get a lock?

GPStoday find my loc very fast but after that how do I geo tag pics? On the site it wasn't clear to me on how to do so. Any help from anybody would help

That would answer why it loaded the map 1 time REAL slowly and then not at all. I am looking forward to the plug-in. Thanks!
