TeamGPS for GPhone release

[wolfking]

The first TeamGPS version for GPhone is now ready. Have fun :)

When I access it from my GPhone it only shows my dot location, not my teams location, but it does show their name in the team tab. Help?

If you see -.- as distance of your friend, it means your or his location is not updated so distance can’t be determined. You should see a number popped in and his name gets a marker id (A~Z) once his location is available. The map refreshes every 20 seconds so there could be a little bit delay to show your friend’s markers on map once their locations become available. You can tap on the map markers to read their addresses after then.

Make sure they enabled GPS from Settings->Security & Location.

The current GPhone GPS is very slow. It needs a couple of minutes to search and start posting locations, which is significantly slower than iPhone 3G. Hopefully the next GPhone will do better in GPS.

It looks like that GPhone GPS is learning. It remebers that which satellite signal is good to receive. So the more you use it, the more it will learn and the faster you will get next time.
