I can't really help if we have so many topics covered

With google maps, how do you enable 3d mode? Like this:

I have version 6.0.3 so it should be enabled, but can't work out how to do it. (I've done what the guy does in that video)

3d is only mapped for London and other major cities around the world.

Thanks, just installed Palmary

Does the Pro just remove ads? Also any idea why the Pro version isn't available in UK, but the free is?

I don't know, I was confused by this. It used to be available in the UK, when I did the article.

How many widgets does the free offer? Does the Pro offer more, I forget now?

Still doesn't work for me in London I tried in New York also. Is in enabled by default? because I've dragged the view down with 2 fingers but nothing is 3d, using terrain view.

Is there a decent free app that I can use to view my routines for the gym on?

AndyCr15 · 17 Dec 2011 at 10:42

I LOVE Jefit for my gym workouts.

Don't use terrain view. Standard, it's just buildings in 3d

Use an advert blocker app.

This can only be done properly in 'rooted' right ?? Im getting fed up with ad's as well.

One amazing feature of GoSMS is the auto reply feature which can send an SMS to property who also ring you or you hang up on them.

Really a unique feature!
