GPS Chips on Nokia - dBm?

If I am not mistaken, phones like 5800, N85, N79, etc has the [B]NL5350[/B] GPS chip but [B]how many dBm works?[/B]
And models like N82, N78, N96 use the [B]NL5300 GPS[/B] chip not? [B]how many dBm works?[/B]
Thk!

Nokia has not published any detailed specifications that'd state which GPS receiver chips are used on various models.
I don't know how easy or difficult it'd be to identify the chips if you dismantle the phones (often the actual chip markings do not identify which/whose chips are in the phone).

Other than the GPS chip in ipad 2 wifi+3g...

Are there anything else the 3G version has that a regular wifi only doesn't have?
I am still having a tough time deciding which one to get tomorrow. I already have a data plan on my iphone 4, but it would be nice to have the option to add a data plan to the ipad 2 in the future.
The thing is they release these every year, and I don't see me getting a data plan on the ipad anytime soon. If I need data on it I'll get it on the ipad 3 or ipad 4 :-D
Sorry for rambling on, so basically just wondering what other benefits there are to the 3G version besides that GPS chip.
On a side note, in NYC which one of the Apple stores will be best to avoid long lines tomorrow?
I'm closest to the SOHO location from my workplace. I'm assuming the 5th Ave one will be crazy.
Thank you in advance.

I can't believe you missed the most obvious difference?!?
The Verizon and AT&T 3G/GPS chips add 6 & 12 grams respectively.

View GPS tracks in Nokia Maps

Is there a possibility to view GPS tracks in Nokia Maps (1.2), e.g. if the track is in gpx or kml format? I tried several converters but the lmx file that I get only gives me waymarks but no routes or tracks. That's ok for short tracks but problematic for long tracks with a lot of waymarks. Is there any other way to deal with this?

I think that would be great if we could have a little map in the screen for the map in the Sport Tracker. For example the same maps you have in Nokia Maps.

I really have no idea its all new to me and a friend has GPS on his nokia 6110 and said he does not pay for it its free,
I was going to get a navigater for the car but would prefer it on the phone if possible...pls help explain it very simply.
cheers any help very appriciated

Hi interior1
Provided that you have a generous data plan, you could always try a Java based application such as Nav4All with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver on your S40 device:http://www.nav4all.com/languages/enguk/handset_nokia_6280.php?m=6280
On S60 devices mapping data can be stored locally to obviate need to download data with associated costs involved.

ABOUT GPS RECEIVER IN NOKIA 6210

I only want to know that can i grab the data of gps on my pc by using GPS receiver of NOKIA 6210...If possible how??...I need a GPS receiver and if search get over on this mobile phone i dont have to buy a GPS receiver separately...

You can use GPS receiver of NOKIA 6210 to get information from satellite.
But for receiving satellite signal you need to keep your mobile outside in open sapce , then only mobile's internal GPS receiver able to receive information.
Now to get information on your PC; you can try out to get it on PC using Bluetooth.
But I think for your requirement ; External GPS receiver would work.

No GPS Chip?

So............. I contacted a Apple rep to find out if I wanted to upgrade or not and come to find out with a ton of pulling of info she told me that there is no GPS chip and that the GPS is nothing more then a software update in which we all will get including the old IPhones. So really the only update for the new 3G is just that.... 3G. That's it. Now maybe she did not know what she was talking about but thats what she told me.
Anyone else confirm?

Also just go look at the specs
http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
And info what A-GPS is (assisted)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
The A (Assisted) part means, it has GPS yes, but GPS in general has issues around tall buildings etc, so gets assistance from servers. So while assisted makes it better (especially in cities etc...a lot of driving units have this) it also has to have a signal to your network (cell signal) to get help. Not a bad thing and normal. Just means don't expect to use the phone in the middle of a mountain trail while hiking.

N96 GPS Chip - Possible to remove and reuse?

Hi,
My N96 has died, and am looking to get another phone - found the N96 too slow to bother repairing. However I was thinking about taking it apart and trying to use the GPS chip.
1) Is this possible? - I've not looked inside yet
2) Does anyone know what chip it uses - is it easy to reuse?
Thanks
Mark

Thanks for this, though after looking at it I'm not too inclined to use an app that requires getting into the terminal. Way too technical for me. But thanks.

Is the GPS chip only available with the cellular LTE iPads??

I was wondering if the wifi only ipad 3 also included the GPS chip or not?

If you need built-in GPS capability then yes - though there are some stand-alone GPS units that apparently work with it e.g. Bad Elf (I haven't got it so I don't know how good it is).

Does the ipad mini retina have a gps chip?

I do not find this info under the specifications, consequently, I suspect that it does not. I'm willing to buy one, if they do.

Only the cellular versions of iPads have GPS chip.
So the Mini retina with Cellular does have a GPS chip yes.
The Wifi only version does not.

GPS chip in the fourth generation iPhone

Does anyone know if the GPS chip in the fourth generation iPhone is the same one that is in the iPad or the one from the iPhone 3GS? The iPad chip is much better.

Yes.
GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network. GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites. They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information. Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years). The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver. The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.

Nonfunctional gps chip?

Thankfully I noticed this issue sooner than later with my 3gs:
When comparing to my 3g after a full restore and with Wifi off and Airplane mode on, the 3gs fails to acquire any satellites entirely.
Maps reports 'location cannot be determined' and XMotion GPS shows 0 satellites in the list.
The 3g being held in my other hand under the same conditions acquires in 5 seconds and provides a full fix with 1 meter tracking within 20.
I did not notice this issue immediately because I had not tested with Wifi and cellular turned off. My symptoms with these features on was simply, "jumpy" performance on Maps when tracking. I knew something was up, so I began testing...
Both phones are on 3.0 and I did test after a full restore and after resetting Location settings on both devices.
Anyone else with a 3gs getting 0 connectivity from the GPS chip? Please test it with aGPS off (i.e. no wifi + Airplane mode) My device is week 27 and has the yellow screen as well.

I started this thread because my issues is neither about 3.0 problems with GPS or mismatching between the aGPS features and the GPS chip.
Please let me be clear that this post is about non-functional GPS CHIP within the 3gs, not the aGPS features conflicting.
My 3gs is unable to acquire satellites entirely, the list in XMotion GPS is always blank.

Want to know how the GPS works on nokia 5800?

Hi, are there any documentation explaining the working principle of how gps on nokia 5800 actually works? I want a kind of in-depth understanding...Thanx in advance.

Network based positioning is the fastest, but most inaccurate. Basically, it looks at what cell tower you're connected to, and approximates your location to be the location of that tower. The phone will use this FIRST (if you have enabled it), because it gives you an approximiate position while you wait for GPS to work.
Integrated GPS is the actual GPS receiver built into your phone. It receives signals from the network of GPS satellites and calculates your position. Due to the inherent design of the civilian GPS system, it takes time for the receiver to see enough satellites to figure out where you are. Because sometimes this time can be 5 minutes or more, the cell companies developed Assisted GPS.
Assisted GPS (AGPS) is just regular GPS, helped out by a server on the internet. Your phone will take partial GPS data (not enough to get a fix on its own), and send that data to a server (in our case supl.nokia.com). The server knows a LOT more about the exact locations of GPS satellites at any given time, so based on partial information it can compute a very good approximation of your location. This happens very quickly because a server has a much more powerful processor, and many more resources, than your phone (to put it simply). The amount of data actually sent is very very small (less than 1KB every time). AGPS helps out in getting a position fix quickly when the gps receiver hasn't been used for a while, or when you are in an area without great GPS reception.
So the order of methods used by the phone in your case is as follows. First it will give you an "approximate" position using Network Based Positioning. This will happen almost instantly. Then the phone will immediately get to work trying to get a GPS fix, and will use the AGPS server if you have allowed it to. Note that you must have an internet plan with your cell provider for AGPS to work, since it sends data to supl.nokia.com which is on the internet.
Hope that clarifies things,
Ravi
