The GPS is inaccurate and I use a GPS based golf app and Google maps freqently, it seems that it never aquires a good gps signal

As stupid as it sounds take the back off and tighten all of the screws, it may help.

Where did I park my car?

I tried searching, but without any luck. Does anyone know of a program that you press a button when you leave your car and then use the GPS to later locate your car? My 8125 is dieing and can't wait to get the Touch Pro.

Save the location of your car to your favourite locations on the GPS program (TomTom or whatever you using). Then you can find it.
Cool...that will work.
No2Chem started building an app specifically for that. I never tried it, and I don't think it is still be actively developed, but it should do exactly what you are asking for. Just another option.

Arrfffffff...But with the GPS lag and some approximative positionning on the Diamond and the Touch Pro, don't play with that on a IKEA Parking, because you can turn during hours around your car and the shop will be closed before you find it away...

I would use it for parking at concerts and sporting events. After too much alcohol I may not remember exactly where I parked my car.

Useful app though.

it doesn't measure the acceleration
what you need is gPC from extreme-apps.com
Huge downside is that you have to pay for it :\
I am looking for something like gPC that is freeware but if you dont mind paying you should look it up.
by acceleration are you meaning like 0-60

Cant you just use a stop watch in conjunction with the speedo then work it out?? I would think that using a GPS application will give you sketchy results at best?
you can get gps performance by searching on google you'll find a torrent of files there.
is it just me that GPC application can't get along well with HD2? I setup the trial version but I can't press any of the icons on the bottom. Only X button on top right works.

you have to pay for it to work propperly i think.
should work well with hd2 since i can activate gps and it registers gforce.
Bottombuttons i think is pay-to-use.

Does that one work even when not in wvga like the HD2 is?
yep works great. 0-60 time for my car accurate 8.2 sec.

It comes with a trial version of Copilot. However, you can install any navigator software you want

GPS has nothing to do with internet, signal is completely free and no internet is required, just the navigator software.

Just the charger and usb wire

We can say the radio is the part of the rom that manages all the wireless connections (phone, bluetooth, wifi, gps...). The newer the version, the better it works (supposely)

No prob
HD mini has a rather high rate of defective units. HTC is usually willing to replace the unit immediately under the warranty period. So that's fine.
But without warranty, it's a big risk to buy HD mini. You cannot find out all the problems in one sitting. Not even in one whole day. You need at least a few days, say, one week, with intensive testing, to bring out the major problems if they exist.

u are really the expert thanks for helping me

Does it have a Compass?

I'm looking at possibly getting this tablet for a drone but I need to know if it has a compass. Thanks in advance.

No, it does not have a magnetic sensor., so a compass will not work
See screenshot.
Good luck
