Do I need 3G on iPad2 for GPS tracking?

I want to use iPad 2 as a GPS router. I think this could only be done with 3G with the iPad1. I believe this is not the case with the iPad2 (?). From what I understand, the 3G is now stricktly for internet connection through cel phone network. Am I correct?
Tks

3G has nothing directly to do with GPS. It's just that the 3G model is the only one of to two to also have GPS hardware; the WiFi-only model does not. So if you want true GPS capability, you must have the 3G model of iPad (this is the same for the iPad 1 as well as the iPad 2).
Regards.

Need to adjust volume for 20+ tracks at once

Is it possible to slide the volume down for 20+ tracks all at the same time? If so, how???

I don't believe there is. I certainly haven't heard of anything like that.
You can lower the Master Volume and then raise the volume of the other 10 Tracks.
Or, if everything except the volume level is set on the 20 Tracks, you can export them as one (mute the other 10), then drag the file back in and it'll be one Track. Of course that could take as much time as adjusting each Track individually.

How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app?

I'm a new smartphone user. How do I use my iphone 4s for gps - do I need an app - which one is best...prefer free of course...does it work from home or do I have to be on the road to access gps function? Thanks!!

There is a built in GPS and map function that provides basic navigation using Google Maps. It's hard to miss right there on the home screen. However, it is maunal; you have to tap "next" when you reach each waypoint, and it does not provide spoken directions. It also downloads maps in real time, so it can be slow if you have a slow data connection, and it uses a lot of data if you are on a limited data plan. It is excellent for walking and public transportation, less useful in a vehicle unless you have a navigator sitting in the car.
There are several commercial GPS apps that you can buy from the App Store, but no free ones. Just search the App Store for "GPS".

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

I purchased an IPAD2 for my special needs daughter. She only currently understands lowercase letters only and gets confused with the uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the keyboard to display lowercase letters?

There is no way for the keyboard itself to display only lower case letters. It doesn't display lower case letters at all for that matter.
When you are using the keyboard - The other issue that you will have is with the shift key. Even with auto caps turned off you can still type capital letters if you tap the shift key and if you double tap it by mistake - it will turn into all capital letters so also turn off Caps Lock in the keyboard settings.
Other than that, there is no way to ensure that you can type in lower case.
Maybe an external bluetooth keyboard would be a better solution but I don't use one, and I have never even seen one in person so someone else will have to verify that for you.

Do I need a power converter for my ipad in Ireland?

Do I need a power converter for my ipad2 and my macbook air (11 inch 2010) in Ireland?
Sorry, I'm new to this site and just found the answer to my question in another post.

I was on my way out earlier and didn't have time to see if easily bought in USA, but I also would have suggested a power strip for the UK. Also, not aware of Picachu's needs - if traveling with others, etc., ...
For many years, once our sons got ipods, I have always brought a power strip (w/usb) on vacations and even on long weekends to weddings for all the items I listed above plus rechargeable tooth brushes, beard trimmers, and two ipads. It has made recharging so much easier. (I have friends in similar situations who hadn't thought to bring a power strip for charging things for their family all at once overnight.)
So thanks for bringing it up. Meanwhile, Picachu got an answer early and without having checked 'get e-mail notif.' he/she might not have a clue. Still happy you brought it up.
Thanks.

Waiting for gps

My nokia N8 Ovi maps neither shows my position or drive navigation..keeps waiting for GPS but never connects.
when connected to the WLAN it shows my position but around 1 km far off. i recently upgraded my old ovi maps by version 3.06. the old version 3.04 was fine with no problems.
tried nearly all the solutions available over here. CAN NY ONE HELP ???

@victor_n8
Welcome to the forum!
During update process it says that the 00.01.25.114 mapping for v3.04 will be deleted and new mapping 00.02.42.122 for v3.06 will need to be downloaded.
Try going to Menu > Settings > Application settings > Positioning > Positioning methods - temporarily disable all except "Integrated GPS" then go outside away from tall buildings for 20 - 30 minutes required for very first positional lock to be acquired.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Manual for GPS Cradle no.6120 for Palm TX

Hi all!
I have Palm TX and GPS Cradle no.6120, but no manual for this cradle. Where is possible to find this manual?
If impossible my quations are:
1. Is GPS receiver already integrated in this cradle? If not, what kind of antenna can be inserted in socket "Antenna" on cradle?
2. Power jack is for 5.2 Volt and in car is 12 Volt, what can I do? What kind power cable must I have?
Thanks for your replys in advance.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you for reply.
This model number (6120) is writen on cradle, I can take a picture of label. So must be official number. And I have find cradles like this by german ebay (Kirrio GPS-KFZ-Halterung Cradle 6120 für PALM TX /E2/T5 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180372172250 ). It seems strange that no accessories of this model by Palm. And no accessories in general as GPS cradle for my model Palm TX. But your cradle model 3224NA is like of mine.
I suppose I need also a spezial driver for my Palm TX for GPS cradle. I organized power 5.2 V from battery to cradle (jack is usual from nokia jack), but no success with GPS - no blinking light as sign - GPS is searching for satellites. And battery symbol of Palm TX was with lightning as for loading and correct power.
And one more question about power cord. The conversion 12V of car to 5.2V for cradle is going in cabel or is this cabel only simple wire and convertion to 5.2V is already in cralde? I mean - can I take normal car cabel with right jack for crandle and it will be enough?

Here Drive stuck on 'Looking for GPS"

Running version 3.0.4087.0 on Samsung Ativ S (in Canada). Nokia Drive seems to find my location without any issues for a short period of time. Later when launching it just shows "Looking for GPS" in the status bar and cannot find my location at all.
Location services are turned on for the phone and the app. All other mapping apps on the phone (including Here Maps) find my location very rapidly.
Yesterday I tried uninstalling and re-installing Here Drive but the "Looking for GPS" error is back again today.

Yup, me too. I love the Here Drive (on my Lumia 810), and it's been working perfectly well until last week. Now it's stuck on looking for GPS and showing as start location the place I was last week when I used it the last time.
Please, need to get this fixed! Nokia MAPs work just fine but not HERE Drive.
I have latest updates on both the phone and my Here drive. I uninstalled the app, and re-loaded it yesterday from the app store. Same thing again. Thought it may be due to being inside of the building, went out, changed locations, drove a bit and nope still not working. It's stuck. I've left it running for more than an hour and no luck what so ever.
A colleague with Lumia 920 has the same problem.
Not question of having a case covering the antennas either, his does not have a case, I took mine off the case, and the result is still the same, looking for GPS.
Please get this fixed ASAP!

Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again. The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC. No iTunes installed on PC. Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again. The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC. No iTunes installed on PC. Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her. It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPAD2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my children?

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?

Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate.

LocationProvider (JSR 179) implementation for GPS on PC

Hello all,
Can any one direct me please to a LocationProvider implementation for windows of the JSR-179 location api.
it seems that each mobile device should have it's own implementation of the LocationProvider. what happens if my mobile device is an ordinary PC running Windows?
for that matter in need also an implementation for linux...
It seems so trivial, I just need an implementation that knows to read NMEA protocol out of a COM port....
it should be simple I feel that I'm missing something... I'm trying to find something for that last 24h and come in vain.
please help,
tnx in advanced,
Shahar Daniel

I got this email from Kevin Sally:
Hi Shahar,
The JSR179 spec/API is meant to be used on Mobile devices with an embedded GPS receiver. However, having said that, if you include the JSR 179 package in your JSE application for a PC, you can use the distance measurements etc that are packaged with the JSR179 package. It seems like overkill though, I am sure there are other open source packages out there that will provide the capability to measure distances between points, etc.
Basically, you will have to use streaming NMEA data on your serial port to aquire the GPS coordinates as the JSR179 spec is not meant to aquire GPS coordinates from a serial port.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Kevin

My sister is buying an ipad2 for fun and business. security software?

I am an iMac owner with no security software installed.My sister has never owned an Apple computer product and has ordered (not received) an iPad2 for fun and her own business (ledgers and accounts). She has asked me to recommend a security software package. Does she need it? If so, what kind?

It's not needed. At all. As long as your sister doesn't "jailbreak" her iOS device and avoids tricksy phishing attempts.
Every app is sandboxed, and the OS is among the most secure usable by an average consumer. In my opinion, best thing is to just not worry about it.

Do I need 3G on iPad2 for GPS tracking?
