> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > Why does my GPS only work once in a while? When I click maps it does not find my location and when I am in Speed Hud it does not work all of the time. The little satallite thingy is blinking at the top of the screen but it does not seem to work 80% of the time. sometimes mine takes awhile to locate me depending on my surroundings (buildings, etc) have you given it time to locate you? sometimes mine takes upwards of a few minutes. ---

^Referring to multitouch or GPS? Never had a problem with my GPS finding me, every time I pop up maps it finds me pretty quickly. Still would like a change to the Nav though, so it gets interrupted when you get a voice call, instead of trying to talk over it, lol. ---

the droid is multi-touch capable as well. there just aren’t many programs that utilize it to my knowledge, except for dolphin browser. download it and check it out. ---

good news and bad news for droid users good: motorola announced that there is going to be and update to 2.1 this week bad: the update for droid is reported to be nothing like the NEXUS ONE OS. NO LIVE WALLPAPERS, NO 3D CUBE APP DRAWER, NO 5 HOMESCREENS. ---

that kinda sucks…did everybody notice the update to maps this weekend brought pinch to zoom support and night mode in nav (Haven’t tried the latter yet)? I also tried out PDAnet for the first time yesterday to tether. Super simple and works great. ---

Love the pinch to zoom on the maps now, however it does not work while using navigation. To be honest, the maps are really the only thing I cared to use it for. Having it in web pages would be nice without getting another browser app but I’m fine without it. 95% of the time the double tap is all thats needed. ---
