I have notice that no htc location on Wilfire s, so is there any way to install it??
Any help ?
no one
What do you mean by HTC location?
There is HTC Sense which finds your phone if you lose it if that's what you mean and it also has Google maps...
HTC Locations is a HTC navigation software based on Google Navigation, is that correct? And I heard, that you can predownload maps, so that you can use it as offline-navigation?
For me there would be no other reason to use HTC Locations instead of Google Navigation.

Hi Guys,
I am planning to buy HTC P3300 today. I had certain questions for the same and wanted to know if any one of you could help me out.
Please help me understand:
Does using the HTC GPS also use the GPRS connection even if I have relevant maps loaded
Can I install TouchFlo from the HTC Touch phone in HTC P3300 to get the same functionality
If Yes where can I get the same (TouchFlo)

1) No
2) Yes. You will find it if you do a search on the forums.
I agree with glam's answers, but if you use Tomtom for navigation and if you want to use the optional extras like Tomtom Traffic, you need GPRS connection to download the infos. But this is entirely optional, I myself dont use it.

If u r 4m India.. They have Mapking 12 as default GPS software.. u have preloaded maps, 1 map is free, & u gotta pay 4 d rest u wanna buy..
All infos & traffics are on server which means, using GPS without GPRS in such case is like using google maps where u can simply locate urself.. No directions routes, no traffics, no shop infos..
Choice is urs..
Is there any navigation softwer for Htc Desire?
I've tried with iGo, but it is only on the half of the screen...
What about MotoNav?
I've found apk file, but it keeps saying that i need to have motonav sdcard inserted?
any help would be appriciated...
There is Google Maps with Navigation in the US and UK. There is CoPilot which is a paid app but is full screen and very nice and easy to use.

I just used the google turn by turn navigation that comes with the phone, works really well, not as good as Co Pilot but it's free and works.
You can also use Sygic and Ndrive,both run very well on my X10 and i don't see why they shouldn't run on the Desire.
Sygic on my desire too....lock in 5-10seconds and its full screen...
hopefully some1 will sort out a solution for igo as that is the best app ever for navigation.
Sygic runs amazing on the Desire... The better screen just makes the software SO much nicer than on the Hero
Navigon works pretty well.
Fortunately t-mobile (Germany) put maps for all European countries on the SD Card in advance. ( At first I was wondering why i only had 2Gb Space left on my SD Card when booting for the first time XD )
For me the best navigation is the adjusted Motonav so it fits on a 480x800 screen. You tried it, but I doubt you als had the sdcard/motonav/license folder with the right file. That's why it keeps saying you need to insert the right SDcard.
i´m using navigon europe edition.
works smooth and fast as hell!!!
I wish Sygic would hurry up and release an Australian version.
Either that or iGo would release an official Android version (other than Motonav). I also have the 320x240 screen. Even at full res the iGo screen is a bit cramped.
ok, so i am from serbia, and used to have igo on my magic, because igo and garmin have the best maps for my country.
and as i figured out motonav is igo for mototola using android, for europian market. if anybody has/knows the way for installing motonav with correct resolution and with working licence, please contact me on pm

I guess there is an igo folder on the sd card. rename it to Motonav and motonav will work (even I think its a crap, but still... )
I have been using Co-Pilot Live 8, so far the best available for android. I am used to Tom Tom on WM devices but not available sadly for android. However, Co-Pilot does the job well.
ok...sorry for putting this thread in wrong section...
I've managed to start motonav, there is still resolution problem, but it is ussable
thanx
i use copilot8 pretty quick no issues.

We are starting to notice some software (apks) differences between the EURO/ASIA D-Zs and the BELL-NAM D-Zs
This thread is aimed to creating a list of such differences (and work in cross-porting some interesting shizz ??)
It would be cool to get both devices running side by side to compare what's included and what's not (differences between EURO/ASIA and BELL-NAM software versions)
Some of you lucky guys already got your D-Zs
So I am asking cooperation, if someone could please write down a list of your stock-out-of-the-box included apps, or at least report what's missing / added.

That is correct and confirmed. There seems to be a sync in the locations under settings to sync google with HTC locations. You can activate it but I'm sure it will not do any good. There is also an option in that same menu to re-download the HTC locations..? Tried it but get an error. What we knew as footprints is now called locations. I beleive this is now tied into the HTC location app with the built in maps which is confirmed to be on the EURO/ASIA Desire Z. That is why we don't have the location (footprint) widget. I did not see anything about the book reader on the video so I guess that must only be on the Desire HD..? Here is the link to the video. Fast forward to 6.57 for the demo on locations.

@Rapster: thanks for confirming
It woud be great to have some Euro users feedback though
.
NP, also, not sure how other NAM peeps are doing with their data but as I have been using on AT&T in the USA I can say the data is abit inconsistant. My wife has the iphone and her 3G signal standing right next to the DZ is much stronger. The phone (at least for me) also switchs from "H" HSDPA to "3G" UMTS when data is not running or needed. Driving arounf my town where 3G is very strong (usually 4 to 5 bars on the wife's iPhone) will be anywhere from 2 to 3 bars on the DZ and sometimes switching from 3G or H to EDGE and back again. Maybe the NAM is not properly using the 850 3G band on AT&T's network..? Not sure. Would love to know others experieces also. EURO version and NAM versions. My speed tests have been all across the board also. During the test, it fluxuates.. Jumps real high, then low.. The needle is all over the place. I am pretty sure my APN is set up properly. I can receive and send data and MMS messages just fine. I may just be AT&T crappin out ATM.
I don't have my Desire Z yet, but just from something I read in the NAM User Manual, it seems that that version of the phone only allows 2 devices to connect to the Desire Z when it's being used as a wireless hotspot. I clearly saw in a video of the standard Desire Z that wireless tethering supported up to 8 connections. Perhaps someone could confirm that this is a difference in the two devices?
Bell screws over desire z customers!!!
Hey you guys are right.
Just got a desire z through Bell for my sis and noticed that htc locations doesn't exist. Replacing it is something called GPS Navigator which is a horrible app. Super slow and laggy. Also adding to the disgust is a $10 monthly fee which they expect ppl to pay.
Hope someone out there reads this and can help get this app back on the phone. Was something worth looking forward to besides the new HTC sense.
Hey, thanks for creating this thread!
I was wondering what would be the difference between going with an unlocked unit from bell, and getting a factory unlocked ncix NAM version:
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=56666&vpn=Desire%20Z%20Black&manufacture=HTC
I was swayed by the bell pricing, and went ahead and got a bell branded HTC Desire off contract, and am using it on rogers. here are some of the apps I would say are unique to the bell version, but I can't be sure until nicx gets stock.

The NAM allows the number of users to be set in the setup of the wireless hotspot app. Can set from 1 to 8.

The NCIX link is not a NAM version. It's the Euro version unlocked. You were better off getting it from Bell

Very good point. I finally got Locations on my Bell NAM version and was quite disappointed after all the hype. Unless one is roaming regularly, I would suggest Google Navigation for free.

Hey, how did you end up getting locations installed on your desire-z? I just got mine and i'm pissed bell removed the app. Also, i'm experiencing the odd reception issue, every now and then i go from full bars to zero for no reason.
Cheers,
Greg.

I have been using TomTom for 2 weeks i find it to be the best so far.
Hello Guys,
Since I m using a locally branded device, it has a namesake GPS functionality which never works properly therefore want to buy a secondary handset with navigation as the primary usage.
I have zeroed in on two budget phones, NOKIA X and MOTO E. Moto E has GPS and GLONASS while Nokia X is equipped with GPS only.
Anyways, the brighter side to Nokia X is that it has HERE MAPS. What about GOOGLE MAPS and voice guided navigation on NOKIA X? Is the GAPPS porting offering this facility? Kindly help me out. thanx.

Yes, sir. It does add all this functionality I guess. You just need to download the Google Maps from Play Store.
