Gps in chicago

did anyone experience problems with gps today in chicago aria?

There are no maps on the iPhone. All maps are downloaded via the Wi-Fi or Cellular data connection. If you are out of the coverage area, then you get no maps.
You can purchase navigation apps, like Tom Tom and Garmin in the US that will download the map data directly to the device.

Wrt54gl still tells i touch and iPad they are in Chicago after I moved to New York

I recently moved from Chicago to upstate NY. My 9 month old wrt54gl works fine with one exception. Any iPad, itouch with a map application identifies that it is located at my old apartment in Evanston. I can find no entry on the setup pages to address this, and tech chat support claims there is no option to set location. All of the devices correctly locate themselves if I go to other wifi or networks in the area. Sure appreciate any thoughts. I've searched this and google sites, but results about location and mapping get me into issues more computer-pathway like. Thanks, Gary

The router is still the same router with the same hardware and the same hardware addresses. The hardware address is assigned during production into the hardware. It's not reset. It's always the same. It does not change. It IS reset.
Thus the router cannot simply changed its hardware address automatically. And it would not know to which address because it does not know which addresses have been used by Linksys and which not.
Also, it would be a very bad idea if it would change its address automatically. All your computers should recognize the difference and you would have to reconfigure your whole wireless network again. Now just assume, the router would accidentally think it has changed location (e.g. because your ISP made a major ISP network upgrade) and all of a sudden the whole wireless would not work properly anymore...
So again: it's a problem that your iPad does not have an GPS and does not know where it is and thus must use this service which has incorrect information. It's like you: you may be still listed in the telephone book of your old place although you have moved. If someone looks up your name they'll find you at your old place. It's not like because you have moved everything and everybody has been reset and you are only know at the new place and not at the old place anymore...

GPS working on iPad wi-fi only?

I have an iPad 2 Wi-fi only model, as far as I know It doesn´t have GPS.
Well that´s what i thought until last week.
I live in Brazil and the location service realy doesn´t work here, but I had a trip to Europe (Paris - France), last week and took my iPad with some maps installed, just for reference, when I used the map, suddenly it was locating me exactly where I was. This is really strange, and I was not connected in any Wi-fi network because I was lost in middle of Paris and it helpped me a lot. The whole trip I used my ipad to locate myself in the city.
When I got back to Brazil, the location was not working again.
Does anybody knows what heppened to this suddenly starts to work? And Why Paris?
Thank You.

I came to the forums to see if there was some new development in iPad support for gps on the Wifi only model. Still haven't found a reason for mine. Also... I'm technically inclined enought to know when I am connected to a router and when I'm not (Electrical Engineering degree and teach at a University in Chicago), so this isn't a techno-noob's rambling. I'm just truly mystified since the specs say it shouldn't work at all.
You don't understand the location mechanism. There is no requirement to be "connected" to a router. The only requirement is that at least one router is close enough that its WiFi signal is detected.

Error while downloading. message on E71 GPS USA Ma...

“Error while downloading” message on E71 with updated GPS USA Maps
I’m sure I’m not the only one having this problem but I recently updated my maps on my Straight Talk Nokia E71. The phone says I have map download V 3.03 10wk bo4 Mw Open GL LM MN, Map version 0.1.25.114.and I’m using Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23. After I installed V3.03, I installed it and download the 1.46GB USA map file and the three turn by turn files. But when I first started the GPS app I started getting the following error “Error while downloading”(This is on phone only)
I have tried to factory reset the phone, re-format the 8GB memory card, remove City data and GF files and even unloaded OVI Suite and reload it. But every time I select GPS app and start to find places or my position, I get "Error while downloading" message. I’m new to this phone and didn’t get a respectable book from Straight Talk. So I don’t know much about this phone or Nokia OS. What is this error and how do I fix it. Also when I try to sync from the phone I get the response "system error". Ovi suite on the PC says I have downloaded all the USA maps and English voice with street names. Please help I’m at a lost.
Computer specs
I am running Win-Vista, with a Broadband connection. 3 GB Ram, 2 gig Pentium dual core.
Tran’s flash card has plenty room left on card over 5 gigs left.
If I need to delete a file on the phone please tell me the exact file name because I’m not sure which one to remove from the apps folder.
Solved!

@Action_Jackson
Welcome to the forum!
Whilst easy for me to say as keep very little data on device, I would suggest backup essential data then delete E:\cities + ,qf file followed by resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in #7370# then 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). At this point you would need to open OVI Maps application on device to re-initialise application and re-define necessary folder structure on memory card for device to be recognised by OVI Suite > Maps to re-download your regional mapping.

Network based and a-gps, data use tests

i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
skip to the bottom for conclusion,
this is the process i took:
i called nokia tech support,
their phone support his horrible,
the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
they were the worst.
i emailed nokia tech support.
my message was:
"i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
"In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
the 2nd response was:
"In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that, A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
test 1:
i enabled:
integrated gps
network based
assisted gps
opened maps,
set maps to be offline,
set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
closed maps,
cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
opened maps
there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
test 2:
now i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs
i turned off a-gps.
enabled only integrated gps and network based.
i open maps,
the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
everything else is happening the same.
test 3:
i exited maps,
cleared the counters and logs.
enabled only integrated gps.
i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
test 4:
set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
exited maps,
turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
turned on phone,
cleared counters/logs,
enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
so to conclude my tests,
setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
network based uses a more data, continuously,
which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.

IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on. I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

GPS issue please help me please

Hi guys,
Well i know there are several forms for GPS issue but i cant find the right one for me...Please guys help me if u can.
I have N95 8 GB with GPS activated for Middle East Dubai....
Now the issue is this that before i was used to connect very quickly say about 10 minutes but right now i mean as of last couple of weeks its taking hell of time indeed not connecting at all...I place my mobile and my frnds mobile at same place but mine is not connecting at all...his mobile connects like in minute or so....please can u guys help me...my mobile is rarely used for 3 months...
Do i need to change some settings....If satellite is not available it sudnt connect to my frnds same mobile v20....but it connects to him not to mine....

First thing you do is to run GPS Data in connectivity and see if the phone achieves GPS lock any faster than now.
Secondly, run Nokia Maps, Goto Options>About and tell us the version you have. It should be accross the top of the screen.

Problems with GPS Info QT: new update v1.25 (cancelled by Nokia recently) has a gap with the coordinates in longitude because the error is 1 degree 56 minutes more or less (big problem). But it is an excellent applications: when can we obtain it again?
Problems with IM for Nokia: it has been impossible to install the updade of this application. I have installed it several times and uninstall again, but I always see the word "error".
What happens with the Ovi Maps? before I could see the satellite maps in old version (like a google earth) but when Nokia updated to version 00.02.43.117 I cannot see it. (Maybe it had errors with the Nokia Maps.

How do I use my iPhone 4s to set GPS co-ordinates to use at a later date?

I'm wanting to go to an aread in the bush - enter the GPS co-ordinates in my iPhone 4s and then be able to go back to the same place at a later date. How do I go about it. I have no idea if I even have a GPS on my iPhone 4s.

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".

How do I use GPS when out of range of cell towers, wifi, and bluetooth?

Recently, I encountered the following problem using my RAZR MAXX as an offline GPS device. I was in the Colorado back country trying to track my path with downloaded Topo maps, and found that the GPS was not responding to my app. When I looked at the app's satellite tracker screen, it showed some satellites, but no fixes. After some fumbling around, I found that, when I enabled cell tower communication by disabling Airplane mode, many more satellites showed up. After a moment, fixes showed up, and the app was able to locate me and track my path. This was IN SPITE OF the fact that the Droid never found a cell tower!
I also found that I had to keep the Droid out of Airplane mode, searching for service, in order for the GPS app to continue tracking. Any time that I put it in Airplane mode to disable service searching, the app's ability to detect satellites slowly degraded. After several seconds, it could no longer detect or fix on any satellites at all!! In order to restore the app's GPS tracking ability, I had to enable cell tower searching by disabling Airplane mode again.
Now, my question is, of course, is this the normal operation of a RAZR MAXX on Verizon? It would seem to me self-defeating to offer a functionality that only works when the Droid is draining the battery in attempts to contact non-existent cell towers. Is this truly the intended operation? Please tell me, so that I can either get my Droid fixed or pursue other ways of GPS tracking in back country. Thank you.
Model: DROID RAZR MAXX
Android version: 4.1.2

NEVER MIND!!! The app I was using was BackCountry. May Need GPS Airtime! This app may need GPS Airtime to function properly on Droids. Please bundle GPS Airtime with the paid version of Backcountry. Had I but know this, I would not have posted on Verizon my question about Airplane mode and GPS functioning, and would have saved time on my recent trip to Colorado back country. As it was, I had to discover the Airplane mode/GPS relationship on my own. PS: App works great on my RAZR MAXX, now that I have GPS Airtime and doesn't work for sour apples without it.
HOWEVER, Verizon, what are you going to do to fix this? I'd still like to know that.

Does BB GPS work on T-Mobile Pearl without a data plan?

I do not have a data plan with my BB.
The GPS entry under Advanced Options shows: GPS Data Source: None, BPS Services: Location ON.
I'd like to use the GPSLogger application that says it needs no data access to operate, but it sits on "Waiting for GPS data...".
What exactly is the "GPS Data Source" mentioned in the options?
Thanks in advance.

okay, I was tricked by the following page :
http://www.blackberry.com/blackberrypearl/8200/pearl_specifications.shtml
tha indicates that the application "BlackBerry Maps" is included on the 8220. Apparently, RIM believes it is interesting to have that application without an internal GPS receiver included.
Sorry for the false hope.
here is a comparison of Storm, 8110, 8220 and 8230. All have a GPS receiver included except the 8220.

GPS Collection in Background task for Windows phone 8.1 ?

I don't know some best and good features were complicated in Windows Phone 8.1 when compare to Windows Phone 8 ,
1 ) Simple Camera option makes it Complicated in Windows Phone 8.1 , no preview option ?
2) Background GPS Collection is not working in Windows Phone 8.1 , In my case i need to collect GPS in short time interval ( 1 or 2 mins ) But Windows phone 8.1 support Timer Triggers for 30 mins in Back ground Task .
3) Zxing is works good and gives robust out put . it is not supported in windows phone 8.1 takes too much time intervals and giving false data output .
4) Need to maintain same installation (XAP/APPX ) file for all version of Windows Phone because end user makes ambiguity to use old and new version installation .
Thanks to Help ,
Please provide make sure answers for the 2 and 3 .

My Client mentioned our application needs to works on Windows phone 8.1 and above .
Xap file can not run in Windows phone 8.1 so we need to develop Windows phone 8.1 (Appx).
So existed and simple things are made complicated in Windows phone 8.1 .
Please suggest answers for these :-
1) Background GPS Collection is not working in Windows Phone 8.1 , In my case i need to collect GPS in short time interval ( 1 or 2 mins ) But Windows phone 8.1 support Timer Triggers for 30 mins in Back ground Task .

I looked at the same sight for that and it does not say that. This is the first time I have posted a question, you don't have to be mean about it. I am trying to get this to work for a good cause.
It may be the best source of assistance is the manufacturer of the device. I suspect you will need a specific app for the iPhone to get it to work, but the site is rather ambiguous about that.

Can not initiate internal GPS on Treo Pro (850 Australia)

I am having trouble connecting GPS. Do you know why? or How?
I have tried with GOOGLE MAP and TOMTOM (ver. 6.030) and GPS signal doesn't seemed to be establish.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.. The Treo Pro according to the spec list found at this link, http://www.palm.com/us/support/handbooks/Pro_UL_Datasheet.pdf . (you may have to copy and paste it into your browser), shows Expansion MicroSDHC cards (up to 32GB supported). Now I have not used a sdhc card in a pro nor do I know of anyone that has but according to palms specs on the treo pro show this as what is compatible.
