    @MaPee1982 thats cool. i have stand alone gps in both of my vehicles… i just don’t like the fact that if i get an important phone call or text i have to go out of the gps temporarily (even tho it runs in the back ground) to check my phone… i don’t know if your just riding a bike or driving a truck or whatever but i do use my phone gps if im not in my own vehicle… the reception on my evo with the sprint gps is very good and the program is great w/o no bugs.

    @fmesquad Why spend extra money on a standalone GPS unit when the Evo is in fact, a standalone GPS too? Besides, I do have 2 GPS unit – Garmin and a Raymarine, but my whole purpose is to get rid of extra baggage (in this case the GPS unit). Thanks for your advice but I’ve already solved my own question. Upgraded to CoPliot 8 Live. It gets the job done and is equivalent to, or surpasses most standalone GPS currently out there.

    @MaPee1982 JUST BUY A STANDARD GPS FROM TIGER DIRECT AND BE DONE WITH IT…

    @chuunarusamurai You can download & install the .apk of Sprint apps.

    I see you were trying to load up Hulu. Those guys are evil and won’t allow their videos to be viewed on any mobile device!

    Will all da sprint apps be still available after doing this android 2.2 update? e.g Sprint Navi, Sprint TV?

    @zedomax I hear ya but I think you’re missing the point. Google Map works very well no doubt. But due to the fact that it requires constant internet connectivity to operate (aka A-GPS) its only as good as reception gets. In my daily route, I take alot of back mountain roads so I get no reception which means no internet connection, therefore rendering Google Maps useless. CoPilot can be used as a standalone GPS as it uses the built-in GPS instead of the internet. Well, thanks for you reply anyway

    @MaPee1982 Well, Google Navigation works really well for me, you’ve tried that?

  19. MaPee1982 15. Dec, 2010 at 9:48 pm #

    Hey man, you seems to be very active with the HTC Evo / Android scene. Since Garmin is not available on the Android platform, and CoPilot pretty much sucks, would you happen to know of any other GPS apps for Android powered devices (preferably the HTC Evo), that utilizes the integrated GPS? A-GPS does not work well with my daily routes. Sometimes I get little to no reception. If you can, please let me know. Thanks.

    Dude, videos are verging on good, but your just so sloppy. Think about these vids for just a minute before filming them. But good job on all the hacks!

    you said you need a better way, so here:
    1. get a tripod
    2. use screen capture for the shell stuff
    3. CTRL+C CTRL+V is your friend (that way you don’t drop files in the wrong place)
    4. it’s ok to cut and red- something if you mess up
