Pretty much in the title. Are there any good navigation apps for the touchpad yet?
You mean ones that work with the built in multi core gps/gsm chip?

maybe when android arrives we can use gps tether and google maps nav.
To be more helpful we're hoping someone can convert some older palm satnav app or write a new one that works via bluetooth. You can connect to a bluetooth gps receiver, but so far there's nothing to work with it.

I ordered a bluetooth gps yesterday.
I hope it comes in by the middle of next week to try it out with the G Tablet.
Now all I need is a car mount for this thing and it'll be an awesome in car device.

I tried my HOLUX M-1000 GPS with the gtablet. I was able to connect using Trekbuddy mapping software, but I could not get it to work with MapDroyd. I tried using a couple of the bluetooth utility apps like gps mouse and blue gps but I didn't have any luck with either of those. Let us know what you find out.
Anyone tried bluetooth gps and headphones with the g-tab?
I have tried to use a bt gps with the Program Bluetooth gps from googoo android, but after starting and selecting maps, it always FC. I can not find an update for the program on markst, so i am not sure it is the latest version. I am on tnt 2.00

I found a program outside of the market called BlueGPS and sideloaded it. Works fine with my iTrek M5 but you have to allow mock locations under settings>applications>development and set it to replace the internal GPS in BlueGPS. I set the Max connection tries to 5.
Where did you get BlueGPS? I have an iTrek M5 and would like to put it to good use!

I got it....it works with my teletype brand bt gps unit!
Search "tomtom bluetooth gps receiver for usa and canada" on Amazon (can't post outside links yet). The thing only costs $18.99!!
It looks like this is the best deal for a little GPS Bluetooth receiver to use with our GTabs. I bet it will work fine judging from the rest of this thread and the Amazon comments about using it with iPod Touches.

1saleaday has BT GPS for $9.99 + $4.99 shipping. I'm about to bite

My Motorola S9 bt headphones work great.
I picked up a Tom-Tom 9T00.001 for just under $20 from Amazon. It worked great with when paired over BT using BlueGPS and Google Naviation.
going to order one now

After you pair the GPS with the G-Tab you'll need BlueGPS to connect it. Once it's paired and connected with BlueGPS you can launch your navigation application.

Thanks! Are you just using the standard Nav App that comes on the G-Tablet?
Setting for BlueGPS and TomTom GPS
What if any settings did you select to get the TomTom to work? What application are you using to verify that it is working? I was attempting to get GoogleMaps to find my location (connected via bt with BlueGPS and the green light was flashing on the TomTom) but it is always unable to find me.
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I was wandering if We could connect to a GPS via bluetooth using our Folio?
Regards,

I got replies that others has the TntMod running with a BT GPS, so i assume Market has a BT gps app you use, i forgot if the person replied to how it was done, but im sure it was working..
search our forum for bluetooth gps
Bluetooth GPS
Hi,
I am using an app downloaded from Android Market, the Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android, v. 0.5.8.
It works fine with my Folio 100, with Dexter's mod 1.3b.
The bluetooth GPS device is a Touch GPS device.
i can confirm that it works.
i used it with my nokia n95 as the GPS unit, using the symbian app ExtGps by symarctic (should work on all s60 devices with a built in gps). and the app Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android on the folio.
remember to allow mock locations =)

nah. some people use wifi location.
I'm using a bluenext gps, Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android. Seems fine but not used in anger yet. The setup uptions are all 'automated' by the apps, they open the dialogue for you so not much need to change the defaults, I think.
Remember the GPS pairing may not become 'active' without the app running.
Great news.
Thank you all!
Hello,
I use the internal GPS of my Samsung Galaxy S with GPS 2 Bluetooth v.2 and Bluetooth GPS Provider on my Folio.
It works great

I have external bt gps, works weel with external bluetooth provider (market) but i cant find good (working) bluetooth sharer - bluetooth gps - shares something, but it is useleless for my notebook and folio too
Maby some tutorial would be nice
Installed the following app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11332081&postcount=1 but it just hangs with the message of "FM Radio being launched, please wait..."
Looking for an app that uses the Vibrant's built-in FM tuner. If it matters, I'm running Trigger 2.7 ROM.
Thanks for the link.
AFAIK, Vibrant has no built-in FM tuner. I will be ecstatic if someone proves I am wrong!
Try tunein radio found on the market for free. I'm streaming now, works great for me but u need a decent data signal so it doesn't cut out.

Unfortunately, that app uses your data connection. Was hoping for something that uses the built-in FM tuner. If it exists at all.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that we have this built in.

^this.
What people are getting confused with, is iirc the vibrant has bit and pieces of fm tuner hardware still left in, but it doesn't have everything needed to get a working fm tuner.
we know that we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting GPS model~
but I wonder whether we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS(my garmin GPS type is 295w) by using the usb port?
thanks~
i dont think so garmins gps is not set up to share its gps data over usb or bluetooth. you best bet is to get a bluetooth gps unit and use bluegps on the gtab to get navigation they modules run about 20-60 dollers for most and work just great.
Garmins don't work. I have two and neither will share their gps signal.

Actually Garmin gpsr's do share their signal via usb. I have used my gpsmap 60csx with my wndows laptops using garmin software Nroute and their mapping software. I am still looking for a method to use it with android.

But doesn't that require that the software can read the usb signal? I haven't found anything on android that will do this.
I went with a Tom Tom Navigator 6 gps unit (approximately the size of a pack of gum) and BlueGPS on the tablet. It works a little strange since you pair to the gps unit but it never "connects". It just appears in the BlueGPS service and it available to all the gps enabled apps on the g-tab.
I also use Tomtom Bluetooth GPS with CoPilot live 8.
Works great.
Although to answer OP's question about USB connection:
Viewsonic ROMs based on 1.1 version didn't have much of USB functionality.
Now, with 1.2 version released there is more USB support, as keyboard and mouse and several others.
I do not have 4391 installed yet, so cannot try it out.
Maybe someone else running recent ROM can try to connect USB based GPS and let us know?
I'm looking into gettin garmin_gps module for my CM9 galaxy i9000 running 3.0.8-g4cf4918.
anybody has any hint on how to build the module? thanks a lot
Marco
I've released version 2.0.2 of the "Spirit FM Radio" app. See my sig for the details post.
Best support is for CM7 ROMs with the CM FM app. My app supports RDS data on TI FM chips now, and more basic functionality on Broadcom FM chips. Works well on my HTC Legend and Desire HD, and I think should also work on Click/Tattoo.
I tested with the 240x320 resolution on an emulator.
works great 100% thanks, though it could do with a better GUI
Works perfect on my HTC Tattoo/Click with CM7. The GUI should be polished.
The HTC radio app could be a good reference.
Thanks!
bluetooth??
great app, but why do you need my bluetooth on?
please remove this feature or let me select it in a menù.

radio is integreted on bt microchip, than when you active radio, you must active also bt
This is the right app I am looking for! Why should FM apps stick to headset? Now it is freedom from headset, only thing you need is something as antenna.
where can i find this app -??
