    Go into options, change your default map program to google maps.

    Make sure Poynt says "My GPS Location" on top.

    Click map it, then map my search location.

    Google maps puts me dead on where I am. It even shows you the cell triangulation, and where it "thinks" you are

    Hope it works for everyone else.

    It may be covered somewhere else here, but every time I load Google Maps the keyboard comes up and will not go away. Any tips?

    This is definitely an improvement to how useless google maps is, but it still doesn't do directions very well. The issue I'm seeing is once it finds your location and you see the little red drop thing marking it it will still try to use cell towers to find what it "thinks" is your location.

    The issue here is when you ask for directions from "your location" it only uses the point where it thinks you are (via the cell towers).

    Anyone know how to make it so google maps will give you directions from the actual GPS point that Poynt puts on the map?
