Also, if the GPS gives me directions to somewhere, but I don't want to use that route. Is there any way I can have it check an alternate route to go?
And if anyone could suggest any useful apps or any fun games that'd be great. I'm new to the MyTouch 
Edit: Oh, haha, 1 more thing. On the unlock code with the 9 points, is there anyway (or app) that would let me just cross through 3 points instead of 4? |
I personally leave my GPS on all the time. It doesn't run down your battery because its isn't always searching for a signal like Wifi or 3G or Edge. My GPS indicator only comes on when I use Google Maps or I enable Weather Bug to find my position, or other apps that may need GPS like Where, or just any location apps. But the GPS only comes on when you use those apps. When you exit the apps or kill them with a task manager, they no longer use the GPS and it doesn't use your battery.
As for the unlock pattern, you must use four. I imagine simply because three would be too easy to crack, but four adds difficulty.
Maps, I haven't found a way to make detours yet.
Fun games: Bejeweled, Flight Director, WordUp, Wave Blazer, ShootMe, (Anything made by Camel Games) and many others, just search in the games section.
