The TyTN II can handle the provision of GPS data to multiple applications. I believe this is a feature of WM5/6 when you enable the GPS settings option "Automatically manage GPS"
I see no reason why you shouldn't have the same success on Vodafone that I have with t-mobile

Hi masseur,
I suppose what I was wondering was - if Vodafones services work well on the TyTn II because I guess Vodafone alter the HTC firmware for their own services. I read something like that over at xda developers forum...
I wondered but you have success with T-Mobile so I guess it is not an issue..

@Dicky Snapples, google maps needs a data connection to download the map information as you move around the maps. To get google maps to use the GPS to fix your current position just go to menu > Track Location
@ofiaich, ah. mine is sim free, of course. Good luck with the Voda one

yeah, its a bit strange isn't it. I just rotate them on my PC as I don't see any setting in the camera options to change that behaviour

With thanks from Modaco.com and peterbonge:
I don't know if it's already posted elsewhere here in the forums, but this isn't really a bug. It is a wrong setting in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\HTC\\Camera\\Image
Change the value named "EnableEncodePortrait" to 0 and the images will be saved "unrotated".

nice one. just tested and yes... that does what it says on the box
thats what I love about WM... like windows there's always a registry fix that sorts what you want

no, on the TyTN II itself using a registry editor

right, I've put the full western europe tomtom maps on mine now and I'm pretty happy with that
In fact I'm just about convinced to swap my sims around to make this the primary device now and may even sell the P1!
