GPS Concern

---

Hello

I am currently looking into investing and getting a new phone. I own a omnia 910 now and the GPS is not that good.

When I was researching the Incredible is says the GPS is enabled. I am assuming that means Unlocked and I can use Google maps and other gps software. (Especially Golf GPS).

How good is the Gps chip in this phone?

Thank you.

google maps (with voice navigation) works great.
GPS and AGPS work fine for me.

First android device, best "my location" and gps device I've owned. Locking indoors in seconds. And I have been from the apache to the mogul to the touch pro to the diamond to the touch pro 2 to the imagio and finally to the incredible. Best so far.

I had the i910 Omnia previously. I then had the Eris and now the Incredible. The Omnia doesn't even compare with either of these Android devices, both in overall performance and in regards to the GPS. You will be very happy with the GPS in the Incredible.

I agree with the 2 above posts. I came from a Touch Pro2, and that would sometimes take 1-2mins to get a lock.

The Incredible never takes more than 15 seconds, normally under 10 seconds. It also has far greater success with indoor locks. It is hands down the best GPS device I have ever owned. This would be my 4th GPS device.

Thank you for your replies!!!!!


GPS is very Important to me.

The Samsung GPS is pretty marginal. I had a Saga. Forget using it indoors or while moving. Most of the time I used wifi for a quick accurate fix.

HTC seems to have the best gps chip despite the fact that they should all be using the Qualcomm gpsone chip. The Inc is instant.

Omnia i910 newest ROM never really unlocked aGPS making getting a GPS lock slow. There were tips and tricks but not what you most likely were looking for.

The DI has excellent aGPS abilities that you can use with even the GPS off to save power. Lock with GPS is very good outside.

Excellent GPS , your location in seconds , vzw doesn't lock down the GPS anymore.
