Who has HTC Phone with GPS?

[+PocketSierra]

Who has a Windows mobile touchscreen phone with built in GPS? This is usually HTC or AT&T branded HTC phone such Tilt, 8925, TynII, Fuze, Touch Pro, etc.

 

There is a fix in the latest BackCountry Navigator software that is suppposed to make things more reliable for those devices. I unfortunately don't have any of those devices close by.

 

Are there some here who is willing to try that on their phone and see if it finds and uses the GPS just fine?

Does your application run on a Palm Treo Pro?

I have a Verizon Branded Touch Pro running Windows Mobile 6.1 with the GPS unlocked. It runs Garmin Mobile XT, HTC GPS Tools, Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search. I can give it a try but do not want to register.

Yes, inasmuch as Palm Treo Pro runs Windows Mobile Professional 6.1. It runs on any Windows Mobiel with a touchscreen.

 

I have sent some of you the link by private message.

I tried it today and it had no problems with finding my GPS on the HTC touch pro (original ROM)

 

Still dosn't beat GCz for mobile geo caching software.

IMHO

I haven't tried this software out, but here are my thoughts

 

There are several good free software packages (GCz, GateCacher, BasicGPS). The only advantage that I see from this software is that you don't need a data connection in the field to view maps. If that is not a requirement that you have, there realy is no point.

 

So far, I have not been caching in an area without data connection. That said, I guess there probably are some. It also looks like a lot of work to get the maps in there.

It may not be common nowadays. I don't have a data plan myself, so I wouldn't necessarily know about all the places I've gone. I don't think the falls creek cache had one.
