Can I stop Google Maps connecting to network/inter...

Hi
5800XM
Can I prevent this ? Unlike other apps (browser, OperaMini etc.), GoogleMaps just launches straight away.
Is this because it just uses the GPS on start up, or is it downloading data as soon as it launches ?
I can't find a setting within the app which makes it ask me whether to open connection or not.
thanks

The actual ovi maps app can function reasonably well with no internet connection (limited POI's and basic address search) as long as the maps are pre-installed before you go.
The GPS performance could range from ok to totally useless depending on the location if A-GPS is disabled. What you are likely to encounter is a long wait for a GPS lock when you first use it in the US, could be over an hour. After that it may struggle to keep a lock being effected by tall buildings, trees, or other obstructions.
I strongly recommend you use the phone with an external bluetooth GPS receiver if you plan to use it without A-GPS. I've used the Nokia LD-4W and it outperforms the built in GPS and gives performance/accuracy that's more like a dedicated sat nav device. Other non-nokia GPS devices are compatible.

  • How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6?

    Since I upgraded to IOS 6, Google Maps has been replaced by a poorer Apple version that doesn't support public transport. I want Google maps back. How can I install Google Maps on IOS 6 or downgrade to IOS 5?
    Thanks.

    Google Maps has not yet or does not look  like they are creating a standalone app at this time.
    It is not easy to downgrade, not recommended by Apple, very involved in order to do that. Again, not recommended.
    Use MapQuest for now if you are unhappy with Apple Maps. I was never happy with Google Maps, so I have been using MapQuest for a long time for all directions.

    Actually Apple has developed its own maps and no more have it in sync with google as it did before so now apple has its own mapping software.

    Why I can't open google maps on Safari? Everything have been working normally with my computer. But this problem with google maps I can't fix

    Do you have an example? I develop Google maps for Web pages and haven't had problem with Safari and its extensions, only FF which I took out all the addons and plug-ins, but it wouldn't surprise if the Google map code doesn't display the map or information for the map or doesn't work with newer versions of Safari.

  • Is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)

    function displayMap(e) {
    var title = e.data.title,
        latlng = e.data.lat + ',' + e.data.lng;
    if (typeof device !='undefined' && device.platform.toLowerCase() == 'android') {
    window.location = 'http://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=' + encodeURIComponent(title) + '@' + latlng;
    } else {
    $('#map h1').text(title);
    $('#map div[data-role=content]').html('<img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=>' + latlng + ' &zoom=16&size=320x420&markers=' + latlng + '&sensor=false">');
    $.mobile.changePage('#map', 'fade', false, true);
    my phonegap (Adobe press, Powers jQuery with dw 5.5) book (old book (c)2010-11) says for above code: // is this valid for today, is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)???
    On iOS, calling window.location loads the map directly
    into the app. That’s great until you realize that iOS devices
    don’t have a Back button, so there’s no way to exit the
    map. To get round this problem, I loaded a static map as
    an image in the map page block. It’s not interactive, but at
    least you can continue using the Travel Notes app after
    viewing the map by clicking the Back button generated by
    jQuery Mobile.

    Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
    I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
    So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
    I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
    It all worked.
    Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
    Thanks for your help, you guys!!!

  • Can't print Google Maps embedded in iWeb 08 pages

    I have created a web page using iWeb 08; the page has several Google maps embedded. I realize that the Google maps are interactive but I can't find a way to print the web page showing the Google maps. When I print, I get blank space where the maps are. I've tried printing from Safari, iWeb and via PDF but none of these methods print the map as shown on the screen. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for any help.
    James

    You cannot.
    It's the way Apple embeds the map in the page.
    Solution: Go to Google Maps, find your location, copy the HTML Embed code and paste it with the HTML Snippet.
    Next problem: When printing the page, I see scroll bars on the printed page.
    Problems, problems problems, will it ever stop.

  • HT2518 migration is taking forever from windows 7 via wireless. can i stop it and connect wired?

    File migration is taking forever from Windows 7 pc. Can I stop and reconnect using usb 2.0?

    Your only option in that respect would be to create an adhoc Wi-Fi network with the Windows 7 device. And no, you could not connect the iOS devices via cable to connect them to that network. You can share the iOS device cellular internet capability with a computer via Personal Hotspot, but the iOS devices do not have the capability to connect to a wired network or to a computer's internet via a cable.
