I also tried newer version - crashes.

Can you help with this? If you prefer, we could discuss this over PM on Serbian

Thanks

P.S. Version 9.3.07 fails to start. It starts GPS search and then black screen and crash
P.P.S. 9.3.02 works but GPS not used yet. It is ON, started, connected, but doesn't work "Waiting for valid GPS signal"

I'm using 9.3.0.2. Try this: download program GPS Status from the market, run it and wait till it gets the Fix. Then, start NDrive. And, maybe this will sound ridiculous, but get out from the house under the open sky , satellites need optic visibility.

Yes... you are right. It doesn't work without Fix. I was confused because Google Maps determine your position even if Fix is not available

Thank you

I noticed one bug or maybe strange feature:

While driving, If you don't follow instruction given by NDrive (ex. you take shortcut, or avoid road block), NDrive exits. No option for auto rerouting in NDrive?

It is annoying to stop, start NDrive again, select route again - every time when you obey instruction.

Any idea about this?

Thanks

Second, if gps is not turned on prior to starting Ndrive, it crashes, reports an error and gives me Force Close. Third, even outside,with clear view of the sky, it takes around 20 minutes to get the fix. And sometimes it just doesn't get it at all.

Any solution to this issue? PM on Serbian would also be very welcome

EDIT: Installed GPS status and it gets the fix in under 1 minute, then i start Ndrive and it's just fine. However, when starting ndrive, it still goes into Market to search for whatever, and i have to close the Market manually before i can go back to Ndrive. Is that normal? And yes, i did everything according to the relevant posts.

Looks like app has problems to get Fix.
starbuckbsg found one workaround: GPS Status untill you get Fix. After that launch NDrive.
I'm not sure why NDrive has problems with Fix

Yep, it does that, don't know why, probably because it knows there is newer version. Just hit the back button and use it normally.

Second, if gps is not turned on prior to starting Ndrive, it crashes, reports an error and gives me Force Close.

Yep, that's why I said the GPS had to be on prior to starting the program.

Yep , it happens, but I see you read what to do to solve this.
