Telus HTC Diamond, GPS (Google Maps)

[XtQfH]

No that is A-GPS. A-GPS is actual GPS via satellites, the only difference from normal GPS is that the network sends your phone info about satellite locations, and then you're phone gets its location from the satellite. Had it been normal GPS, your phone would spend minutes trying to find satellites first.

Having positioning indoors is not GPS, that's the cellular triangulation thing, where the cellular towers give your phone info about where you are.

[ekrystian93]

[vLaDiMiR17101988]

Yeah, I have the same question!

[Golfinnder]

@ekrystian93 It´s free of course

[upatreejustnow]

Thanks so much. I've had this phone for 11 months without having this great feature.

[henhen7890]

Wait do you need to pay for the GPS? or is it like a regular GPS device that you dont need to pay a fee for?

[BOOMH916]

yay san francisco!

[RAGEcomedy]

If you use the GPS on google maps, will it cost me money if i am not signed up for GPS in my plan?

[tejawxyz]

Does google maps use the Internet?

[phorip]

....Jeez, what a stupid question.

[PelleTylerPelle]

yes it does, like when you wanna search something.

[nrodar]

Google map's is free ;)

[polikariolis]

why is it that on my HTC diamond when all my programs are closed i use atlest 50% of my memory and on this phone as we can see it uses only 37%? on my phone on start--up it uses exactly 50% any help would be appreciated:) (press reply if u have an answer!thnks in advance)

[ai4281]

For your question (polikariolis), it depends on which version and which carrier your phone is on. CDMA diamond is known to have double the RAM of the GSM version of diamond.

Also, your carrier may have put in extra bloatware/UI stuff.. Telus didn't tamper with the UI much, but they took out some features.. I had to use the registry to unlock GPS!!

If you update to the newest ROM from HTC's website, the memory usage may come down. I hope this answers your question.

aboot

[benmuskler]

does it cost anything to use it?

[stryker95th]

google is using the internet.

u can download a diff gps application like tom tom, garmin or iGuidance, these applications dont use the internet.

[pbw61]

hey guys and one know if there is a microsd card behind the battery prongs?

[infiltr80r]

Ofcourse it won't work inside, no GPS device does. It may work for some if you have really really thin walls, it can also get a signal from the corner of your house if there are windows nearby.

[Anast123]

do I need a data connection for google maps?

Can you make it work without one?

[justnottennis]

you will need wifi or the cell network. this is due to all maps are downloaded from google as you search and move around in the app. sorry!

[shenblanchet]

YAYA

The GPS called "amAze" is a good free gps also. As long as you have an unlimited data plan, it is free to use. Look up some reviews of the amAze GPS for mobile phones on youtube, I've used it on my HTC diamond, and it works great.

[MACHEW55]

hello just wanted to know if goggle maps are free to use?

[slopedarmor]

DUH, just search on google to maps.

[army69jb]

Can you install windows live search? If so can you do a video on it running.

[Inertialvenom]

Ok, i downloaded the google maps, but i cant use the gps for some reason. Do we need to adjust some GPs settings or something? Please let me know. I'm assuming we have to use the "My location" feature after GPS has been enabled through "Use GPS". Is that right?

[htcjunkie16]

Hey can anyone help me I can't get my GPS on my Telus HTC Touch Diamond what COM should i use and what baud rate and on gps settings on settings what should that be too. J

[jmefez]

how did you unlock the gps?

[Pearly351]

Awesome, I'm seriously considering this phone as my next phone, but I'm just curious about how you use the mapping/GPS features... how do you install the Google maps / TOM TOM maps. Is there a site I can go to to view this in more detail? I've noticed people saying you can get TOM TOM maps for it, but I can't seem to find them on the TOM TOM site?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

[Almanay555]

[wwe619hey]

it doesn't llook good i like iphone gps better man

[fiftyfourj]

does the htc come with any kind of map software?

[100eyes]

The Telus Diamond doesn't come with any GPS software out of the box. They expect you to use their Telus Navigator service for $10 per month.

[chilinhermit]

rtahouri GoogleMaps arent real Gps you need to buy a real one for mobiles there is one that works great TomTom7

[RayMkIII]

yeah tomtom is a great brand but the iPhone has a gps function like this but just not true gps

[rtahouri]

I used the google map on mi htc diamond, and everything works, except when im driving, as i start to move out of the map the map doesnt follow, i have to manually move up the map to see where i am... how can i solve this

[msmeaton]

Select 'My Location' under 'Menu' and it will follow you..... until you touch the screen anywhere else.

[Onedowg]
