Hi,

 

Did you get an error, or did it just not show up?

 

All the best

Hi Claire,

 

Try a new app called GuideDroid from Ideal Group.  You will be pleasantly
surprised.  It's a great little GPS app and it's free.

 

You can also add favourites and get it to take you to any of your existing
contacts as well.

 

All the best


Steve

Subject: [vi-android] First GPS experience

 

Hi All,
I tried out the GPS capabilities on my Android phone using Walky Talky to go
to a well-know computer store. I wasn't sure how to hold my smartphone as I
thought that usiing earbuds wasn't safe. Secondly, I was surprsised that the
application did not announce much information about from the odd directions
on when to turn, I mostly had to rely on my limited vision to see the big
arrow on the screen. I was expecting more detailed information about what
buildings were around me also. Was I expecting too much ?
Any advice from more experienced users would be welcome.
Thanks
Claire
