Just announced was T-mobile’s G1, the first Android handset to be released. With an open-source OS this phone is going to be one stiff competitor to the iPhone 3G. One thing that was not mentioned during the announcement was GPS, the ability to use satellites to ascertain the handset’s location.
Not to worry though, HTC’s newly posted specs page reads; “GPS navigation capability with built-in GPS receiver and map software”. GPS is key in many of the applications submitted to the Android Developers Challenge. With developers in control of this device, it knows no bounds. With applications such as Amazon CompareAnywhere, ShopSavvy and Ecorio this device is a top competitor of any phone on the market.
It looks like HTC did not skimp on anything here. This fast multitasking device is packed with many up to date features such as 3.2-inch TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive screen with HVGA (320 X 480 pixel) resolution, full 5-row QWERTY keyboard, one-click Google search, High-speed 3.5G network connection, Wi-Fi with seamless transition to open networks, 3.1 megapixel camera with auto focus and microSD (SD 2.0 compatible) with up to 8GB cards supported.
Well I got my order completed for a black one
Just arrived to this forum, got my G1 a few days ago I must say that even though it has a GPS it doesn't preform so well, I have a lot of trouble with it.
I'm looking around the for a solution to this GPS problem, all I found up to know are people with the same problem as mine.
This is the closest I got

Please post here if you have a solution for this problem.
Thank you,

jennyP that solution you posted just tells you to turn it on. I guess thats a solution?? Its like assuming that all non working electronics don't work because they are all unplugged and all users aren't smart enough to plug them in?
O yeah everyone, the GPS function works if best if you have a clear view of the sky. Just thought i would throw that out there...
