i tried using google maps with a P1i and a hge-100 gps
google maps dosnt detect the gps unit @ all and only uses the cell tower postions for my location.
hopefully they fix this in final release
I found the wayfinder navigator excellent in Australia but it dosnt have maps for New Zealand
so for now all the hge-100 is good for is a FM antenna for listening to the radio with my DR-BT50 Bluetooth headphones except it drains battery

I was able to get a copy of gmaps version 2.03 java off of the sony ericsson mobile site. I continued to try to get the sis version 2.06 to work to no success, it would only work on wifi and not gprs, the app continued to tell me i did not have a data connection. Im guessing that the app requires at least edge or 3g speeds to work properly, because tmobile usa has no 3g network (at least until this summer) this updated app is not going to work properly for anyone on tmobile usa. Im curious to see if it works on cingular? If anyone finds a solution please share the wealth. |

Won't be a speed thing - it works for me when I'm not in 3G coverage (gprs only).
More likely is that you're using your service providers' WAP access point (which will only support web stuff and feed through some proxy that munges webpages to be "mobile friendly") wheras what you probably need is their "proper" internet APN which gives full access. Assuming such a thing exists

the my location feature works by locating which cell you are in - even if the map data is being loaded via wifi the phone will still be connected to the same mast for calls/txts ect. |

yeah when the hge-100 starts up it links to sonyericsson wapsite with apps
wayfinder 7 one month demo & wayfinder earth beta.
wayfinder 7 was better,
has voice navigation instructions if you buy it i think you can download maps so u dont have to use data connection
