Since the NT doesn't have active Bluetooth (yet) I haven't been able to get the My Location function in Google Earth to do anything. I have the Settings set up to use the wireless network method to help localize things, but that doesn't appear to work with Google. Is BT the only way go here?
Running CM7.

Does anyone know how to enable the Verizon Touch Pro (VX6850) to update "My Location"/Latitude in google maps? Searching the google help i found that if you go to Menu --> Help --> About there is "myl: N/A"
according to google help this tells you if you are able to use cell towers to triangulate where you are. Is there a way to enable this?
Just enable the GPS and do it the REAL way
what if you are indoors and cannot get a gps signal like 99% of my day?
Yeah, seriously. I KNOW "My Location" works on other devices (saw it work on a blackberry with my own eyes in a verizon store) and I updated to the new rom that supposedly enabled gps (and hopefully the "my location" functionality) and I enabled "location based services" in the options dialog of the phone settings menu item. and it still doesn't work. Any guesses as to if this is a Google problem? A verizon problem? or an HTC (PDC) problem? any registry settings we know of related to location based services? anyone? Thread bump?
I wonder the same but for a different reason, I use Navizon and it records the cell tower data and gives me points for it, I don't get access to it with the touch pro, only to wifi.
Does location work on GTAB and TNT4.4?
It hasn't for me. I think the app only uses network and gps to get location. I could be wrong but that is the only connection missing.

There is no GPS within the gTab, so location cannot be automatically determined as it might be on a smartphone. Near as I can tell, some have worked that out via tethering a smartphone or attaching an external GPS via USB, but I haven't figured this out yet.
I just tried tetherGPS from the market and it worked for me. I have a Nexus One running Cyanogen and it comes with mobile hot spot enabled. I turned on my mobile hot spot, connected the gtab via wifi and ran navigation on the gtab. Worked perfectly! I used the lite version but if I can figure a way to mount the gtab in the car then I will pay for it, no question about it.
i have used BlueGps and have my bluetooth gps connected. But google maps tells me to enable "My Location". Where do i find that option ? Im using TnT LIte 4.4
from your home screen:
menu (settings) --> location & security
check USE GPS SATELLITES
also be sure to enable 'mock locations'
menu (settings) --> Applications --> Development
check ALLOW MOCK LOCATIONS
That's how I'm getting messed up. I have no option under location & security for GPS. I do have the option for mock locations.
No location services
Me neiher. Is it something to do with having changed the ROM to TNT lite?
Hi all,
I just recently installed Honeycomb Android Illuminate Alpha 3.0 and have a question. How do I enable My Location so that I can have Google Maps detect my current location using WiFi networks?
I tried going into system setting and checked off the box for "Wireless network", "Use GPS", "Use location in Google search" under the Location and security sub-menu, but it still won't work in Google Maps. I also tried toggling the "Allow mock location" in Development but still couldn't get it to work.
Thanks.
So, while I know the NT does not have a GPS receiver, I figured there might be a location setting like the Wi-Fi iPad 2 has where it uses local wi-fi signals to determine it. However, any time I try to activate this feature either through the NT Settings app or the option that Beautiful Widgets offers, it force closes and I get bubkiss. Without this it's tough to get local weather info if I'm not in my house (because I manually set the location in that case). Just wondering if anyone had any insight as to how to get location service working on a rooted NT without it force closing? If not, I can live without it. Hopefully when CM9 comes out, we'll get that in addition to Bluetooth.
You might try these steps to get network location to work.
Yeah unfortunately that doesn't really do what I was looking for, but in any case I have my answer. Real location determination is not available yet via wifi network, you can only fool a rooted NT into believing you're in a certain location by using an app. Fair enough, but disappointing.
about a month a go I loaded a custom rom
[ROM][PORT][4.2.1][AOKP/CM] Vanilla RootBox v3.6 [31/01][Per-App-DPI][PIE]
since than when i go to google maps or navigation it says waiting for location and than after a few mins it says your current location is currently unavailble. when i check the location acccess option the wi-fi and mobile network location is disabled. when I enable it it does seem to find where i am but uses data to keep updateing. so I disabled it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the GPS opetion to work and find me so I can use the navigation again.
thanks.
