Where was this taken? You think it will fit with a case?

 

[Flyguy94]

I wonder if you can plug in the charger while it's in the dock.

 

[davidco11]

Yeah maybe I can duct tape my iPhone to it until the TB comes...

+1 Can it be used with a Seidio Innocase?

 

[StillgotanEris]

Yah, I'll just stick to my Bracketron car holder that I've used for my Eris (see below). Unless they have a built in charger that doesn't seem to be any advantage.

"automatically triggers navigation mode". nice.

I wonder if you can plug in the charger while it's in the dock.

hopefully so. if not i'm dangerous with a dremel. lol

 

[StillgotanEris]

If it automatically switches to navigation, it has to plug into the usb port. If it plugs into the port, then I would think that it would also charge it. For my Eris, navigation is what drains the battery the most so there has to be an ability to charge while running.

So close.....

chances are its just like the Droid X dock, phone connects to the dock via USB charging port, and on the backside you connect the car charger.

anyone else notice the picture on the phone with GPS Nav does not look like Google Navigation. I realize VZW sucks at photoshop but who knows.

If you look at the picture it looks like a tight fit. So base on this and the car dock from my OG it wont fit.

Yea I love my droid x car dock I'm glad they Made one for The thunder

 

[Tonysracing]

It's VZW Navigator.

I you liked Google Nav, you'll LOVE HTC's Google/HTC maps. It catches the maps for you in case you lose your data connection. It's part of the new sense. I'll find the video for you.

That could be great. I could use the phone as a GPS if I eventually upgrade. I wish my Ally did that so when I get the thunderbolt I can give it to my dad as a gps.

There are programs in the market that will download maps for you so you can use your phone as a GPS without any data service

I know one is called Maverick

I maybe wrong but I thought an update to Google maps awhile back brought us map caching for offline navigation? Anybody help me out here and confirm?

 

[Sisaacs]

SWEET! Definitly getting this- hopefully there will be a desktop dock as well. Really wanted one for my Incredible but they were unable to make them. Hoping now having the volume buttons on the opposite side ( Incredible has volume on same side as charging port) will enable manufacturers to make one.

You're right. However, I think not all devices supported it. Also, Android 2.2 was a minimum requirement.

 

[djcyph]

is it working for u guys....not working for me and someone else

 

[parson33]

Who has gotten the car dock gps windshield mount to work with the phone's case on? If you have what case do you have?

 

[odnerd]

Does the dock have an audio out?

I'm not too sure what happenes differently in the new sense, but the caching feature is not specific to sense. Google updated its maps application to vector rendering to give it the 3d feature and to also allow you to cache your route.

My phone does not go into Navigation Mode when connected as advertised. What am I doing wrong?
