Google Maps is good for navigation, that's it.
Tom tom (if its the same as the stand alone versions) will have the REAL TIME traffic which is a must to anyone who travels a lot, my tom tom has saved me loads of hours being stuck in traffic by turning off before the jams occur and using alternative routes.
Better news for me would be that IGO has make a apk for the "big guys" devices

Google Maps expands with offline offerings
...
Going offline
Another feature that the Google Maps team said users have been begging for is the ability to use Google Maps in offline mode.
Now, that they've come through with this technology, it turns out it's only for Android users.
But, once Android phone owners enable their GPS and download the maps in offline mode, they can throw away their old paper map, and view their desired location without an Internet connection.
Rita Chen, a Google Maps product manager, said during the demo that users can expect this feature to be available in the "next few weeks."

Why don't you use Navigon? IMO a great navigation solution, I had it in my iPhone4 before and now in my HOX it works in the same great way!

I used tomtom in i780 before I switched to HD2 and later to HOX. Since switching, I use sygic which is also based on Tomtom maps and am very happy with it.
As for tomtom traffic, it's not available in all countries AFAIK.
I use sygic too, love the graphics and never let's me down

Anyone has tried google earth on htc desire??
Its available for desire or not..
It is you can download it for free from the Market. It takes some memory though...
Try Google Sky Map its simply awesome for Desire - just point it up towards the sky and it tells you about all the stars, planets and constellations... simply great!
yes it does work, but as said, it does use some memory.
+1 for skymap though, awesome program!
Yeah it works fine, as does skymap as mentioned above
I can't find it in the market... i search for Google earth... and it comes up with google earth blog gps2google earth, etc... but not the real one... how do i find it?
this should do it....

however, it does seem to have disappeared today (i downloaded it yesterday), so they may be uploading an update.
Any chance of uploading the apk anywhere? Its not available on the market.

Found it on droid-life.com, bit odd that its still not in the market, maybe something to do with Google only signing off on the ROM recently but dont think so.
Here's the blog post and download links:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/06/download-google-earth-for-2-1-update-1/
This thread confuses me,
Why not just use google maps and turn on the satellite view?
Fon22
the issue here is that apps that should be available aren't. and there is no explanation from google or htc. that is not good enough.
are there any sites that have all apps? if they are free apps then there will be no problem in downloading them. anyone put a link up?

Im happy that until they have undergone google testing so that they dont delete stuff I need on my phone, I cant use them.
Yes!
Would you rather that they hadn't sold you the phone, until you could download everything..?
If so, go get a refund and wait..
If not, be happy using the phone for what it does now (which is Shyte loads!)

You're completely missing the point. 'Test apps' are not missing from the phone. Protected apps are.
So; established programs such as Paypal, Google Earth, Rockon, etc... are all missing.
It's because of the Build Fingerprint in the build.prop file. Google haven't registered the build on their market system yet. Until that's done, we'll not see protected apps.
If we had root & write access, we could simply change the fingerprint.
Hi I moved to the Incredible with Verizon from a Nexus One. I cannot believe that this phone won't geo tag my pictures with Google services. That worked with no issues with my Nexus.
I'm thinking to switch back...
Any thoughts?
Cheers!

Hi thank you for your quick reply: I saw that but it works with GPS only. I think it's absurd.
How would one expect to get an accurate geolocation reading without gps enabled?

Hi well Google location did an excellent job in my nexus one.
Very accurate.
You could root and install cm6 or another vanilla rom. Should work like the nexus.

Hi I'm running sky raider 2.5.2 Once again I don't want gps on because I live in Manhattan and
Google location does a great job. With N1 GPS was off and location via Google eqs enough
to Geo tag any picture taken.

Burn? What kind of answer is that?
I guess from the responses I'm getting that geo tagging just works with GPS.
If this was already discussed somewhere else would you be so kind to reply with the discussion link?
Thanks!
In the last couple of days all my iPhone-toting friends have been showing off their Places app which logs their location to their Facebook profile, along with a map link. Apparently it never worked before, but now it does.
It's a total load of cr*p, but in the interests of showing them that Android can do anything the iPhone can (usually better), and also to shut them up, I'd like to know if there's some way I can have that functionality on my Desire. Just so I can do it the once and say "It's a waste of time which is why no-one on Android uses it"
Any ideas?
Android user can also use this feature if you go to the facebook mobile site with your browser. However I have no doubt this feature will pop up in the next facebook app update.

I think the places thing could be a security risk. Even if you don't put your location, a friend can tag you as being in a location. The only way out of this is through changing privacy settings to opt out.

anyway, android facebook app is still crap compared to iphone app, hope thw dev will release better one soon...

I'm using 4sq and it updates my location to both facebook and twitter.

Pretty sure its location specific. I was in the states a couple of weeks ago when they were trialling it there. Came back an it wasn't available in the UK until recently. Still in a testing phase I believe. Will no doubt have a bigger roll out with the next update to the Facebook app.
At present it's only available in the US and the UK, the rest of Europe will receive it soon.
As above it'll probably be in the next Facebook app update, whenever that comes along...
i just made a page for us who seem to get left till last by facebook .. its on facebook.com/pages/Equal-Applications
i suppose its kinda encouraging them to make our apps good and not just focus on ipods
hope people that feel the same jump on and add their views
From today we can update gMaps Pro to new version 1.24 but not for all. If we want be a beta tester, for update we have to go to page:
http://drmtm.us/getbeta
and send email to developer with our live id. In two days we get email with link to market place and now we can download and install new version.

Ok. Tonight I got email with link to the beta version in the Market place. Street View working incredibly smoothly. Look nice.
Street view looks nice!
I´ll give it a try
got gmaps v1.24 last night. everything runs great and street view looks nice and smooth, but was also hoping for air port and mall maps. but still one of my most used app. maybe air port and mall maps in v1.25
Awesome

Hi, being a betatester for this great app would be nice.
... but on the other hand being able to actually use it since I paid for it before it was pulled from the Marketplace to be later returned as a "different" app to force users to pay again would be even nicer
Wait, Is this an official google maps app, Doesnt sound like it, If it is, They should have used "Google Maps" instead of "gMaps"..
i cannot explore streets in street view, the app show me only the picture of my position but i cannot "walk" through the streets... is this a limit of the app?

I have been using 1.24 for some time without problem but now when I tap on friends list it says I have no friends setup and to add friends via Google Latitude on a desktop pc.
When I sign into Latitude on my pc all my friends are visible, I have uninstalled and re-installed but its still the same.
Is anyone else having problems?

Guys how we missed this?
Since 9th of December this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifit.android.app&hl=es
Added standalone support for GPS running with our SW3.
We have to try it.

but can we export the training to other app? like runkeeper?
I don't think so. But it's a nice way to try a new service and website.
Tried this today... Only good thing over ghostracer is looks, but that's it. More functionality and ambient with ghostracer.
Actually I find this app more than enough. It just works. Settings are easy to use and all tipical info is displayed.
I know ghostracer is great having the developer here, but ifit is the best other choice.
It's possible to see at the same time four fields of information.
And also when the app starts it waits for proper gps signal.
It's the closed ecosystem that is a non starter for me. Their website stinks and for serious runners, strava, runkeeper, etc are 100x better
I know, it depends how serious you're.
I just run for fun and I have enough with proper data in my wrist, basic cloud storage and web service.
At the moment it's the only decent alternative to Ghostracer beta...
I see now they even are promoting the SW3
https://www.ifit.com/sonywatch
I think they deserve a little more attention. They are the first of the professional running web services to develope serously for our watches.
Most serious runners or bikers have never heard of ifit. They cater more to the gym treadmill crowd with their built in software. Not saying it's bad, but most serious runners have garmin, polar, or sunutoo, or tomtom. Which have their own services and many sync to strava and runtastic.
With ghostracer hrm support, lapping, and future alerts, it smokes ifit
Sure, I also think ghostracer is the most serious project with our watch.
Just saying this is the best other (not beta) choice right now.
I just got a new SSW3 today and it has a iFit logo on the box.

gps accuracy?
Just wondering how is the gps accuracy for this app?
I have tried runkeeper, and I have no way knowing if the gps is connected or not.
Just tried ifit, only run for around 1.6km and it reported too short to save to the phone and just deleted the record.
I don't usually run a long distance, and this isn't a app for me if can't record short distances. :crying:
Otherwise, the GPS seems to be better than runkeeper. At least it keeps track of my run even I am under a sheltered walkway.
