GPS in USA

I have a German Iphone with T-Mobil. Will the GPS work in the US without being charged data roaming fees by AT&T? I will be using the MotionX GPS drive app.

In theory, with data roaming turned off, and your maps stored locally on your phone(make sure your maps are stored locally on your phone!), you should not see any data roaming charges. However, since by design, the iphone is meant to always have a data connection, I've seen reports of roaming data charges(ugly surprises, if you will) even with data roaming turned off. The only way to completely eliminate any chance of this is to: 1. Put the phone in airplane mode, but the GPS chip is turned off in airplane mode, 2. Remove the sim card, you can still use GPS with the sim card removed, or 3. Keep the phone turned off. I would recommend looking at renting a chip from these folks to absolutely insure you don't see any ugly surprises:

Doing that will give you full use of your phone with zero worries. Enjoy your trip.

Using the nano radio in a car

Hi -
I have an old iPod and which plays back great through my car radio, via a cable from the headphone jack.
This is an old classic car and the radio is medium/long wave only - so pretty useless today. But I do not want to change it, to preserve the originality of the car.
Question: if I buy a new Nano with FM radio - does anyone have any experience of the reception I'm likely to get in a moving car?
I assume that the headphone cable also acts as an aerial. If so, perhaps a 1.5metre input cable routed up above the windscreen might pull in the stations? Anyone know?
Regards....

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!

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.

Hello,
For the N95 phone, can you install and keep up to date its GPS Navigation software so that it properly works anywhere in the USA as well as for Europe?
Tom

hey tom,i think you could download the free map from NOKIA, and then the the GPS will works good, or the other way, you could download the Route66 Nav software for N95, it's good and i think it will be the best choice!

Is there a way to reset the E78 GPS for a new area of the world? (Like Garmin etc. needs to be reset for a new area)..
I have two E78s. One was first used here in Saudi and found Staellites and locks OK. The other worked OK in USA but now in Saudi it can't find any satellites. "My Location" is still shown as the last USA location. Can I somehow change "My Location" to a local point, manually??
Please advise what I should try to get the E78 working here...

Nokia does not make a model called the E78, are you certain you have a nokia and not a counterfeit?
Perhaps you are confused and your phone is the N78?
It can take a long time for the GPS to function when moving long distance. The best way to get it to work is to make sure that assited GPS is enabled, then try to get a lock in a wide open outdoor space. It may take up to an hour.

N95 8gb Problem with GPS in US.

Hi. I just brought nokia n95 8gb(Singapore model). I just updated my cell to 11 firmware. Now i have a big problem with GPS. I can find some satellites but i cant establish connection with them. How i can fix this problem? All the time if im going to google maps for example i can only see yellow blinking(satellite search) ...it never turns green...And i'm living in USA,New York. I tried differenet places and it doesnt work..Singapore phone doesn't work properly in US?

Yeaaaaah i fixed the problem by myself. Make sure everybody check in GPS data>Options>Positioning settings> that you disable bluetooth GPS and Network based. Yessir.U can close this topic.

How can I use my Iphone 3 (or 4) for soil sampling with my Wintec G-Rays 2 GPS reciever?

Hello, everyone.
I work for a company in Michigan that does a lot of soil-sampling. (We take core samples from precisely mapped areas of fields for scientific anaylsis.)
My goal is to use my Iphone 3 with my existing bluetooth Wintec G-Rays 2 for precise GPS mapping in apps like GISroam. The searchable apps in the App Store appear unreliable for tethering.
Also: My boss has an Iphone 4. (Perhaps that phone be more appropriate for this application?)
Question: Am I thinking about doing this in the right way? Are there apps that will make this simpler?
Specs for the G-Rays 2 are found below.

If your phone is locked to AT&T in the USA, then only AT&T in the USA can unlock it - you will need to contact them about it.
The requirements for AT&T to unlock it are here - http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=wyYI6i46IlD
Note that requesting and processing an unlock throught AT&T is the ONLY way to officially and permanently unlock your phone.

Help! My gps stopped working for around a month or...

Hey, ive been trying sometimes to use the gps and well it worked rly fine around 1 month ago untill i travelled to romenia (from portugal) when i got back to portugal it still kept searching as if there was no signal at all... i reinstalled the maps now to 3.0 but theres rain and clouds pretty much whole week, what can i possibly do to make sure its broken or it works, i cannot waste 15€ per 10min of diagnosis at nokia care center as my warranty has ran out.
Please help with any tips at all, im desperate here
Thanks in advance for any reply!

Hi!, im from Portugal too. xD
The problem you are having might be region defined by the GPS, i dont know if you realy understand. But i suggest you to do a Hard reset by pressing *#7370# on the the stanby screen.
It will prompt you the security code enter 12345 ( unless you've chenged it )
Let it restart choose you region as Portugal and define the time and date,
Once done power it off and take out the battery and wait about 5 seconds.
Put everything back on and poer on your n95, and go back to GPS Data application on your tools folder.
Once you open GPS Data app go to position, press options and go to satelite status.
Now you go outside, because today its a nice day in Portugal, with your slide open in an open area.
And wait 10 minutes maximum. If it doesnt pick up nothing then its hardware fault.
If you need it translated to Portuguese ask me, as i can speak Portuguese.
Se precissares que traduza o que disse diz ou entao usa o tradutor do google que tambem ajuda.
If it helped give Kudos!! xD

E71 GPS Stopped Working After 3.03 (10wk11) Instal...

Had I known attempting this Map update would blow out my GPS, I wouldn't have done it.
My current software version in my Straight Talk E71 is 500.21.009. I am a Mac user.
I downloaded this file in hopes of updating my GPS Map software: nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis
I saved that file on my mem card and installed the 3.03 maps onto my E71 using Nokia Multimedia Transfer v1.4.2 for Snow Leopard. I did this over Bluetooth. I power cycled and I cannot use my GPS with full 3G bars. It cannot find "My Position" after driving around town with my E71 searching for hours. I see a red dot in the middle of the screen (now dark screen since it's dark here).
When I go to GPS data on the E71, I see "Searching for GPS satellites", "Calculating GPS data".
When I look at the Satellite Status, I see mostly black bars showing numbers 5, 2, 12, 25, 26 (not sure what this means).
My Positioning Methods/Settings show: Assisted GPS & Integrated GPS checked.
My Positioning Server Access Point show: Tracfone Internet
My Positioning Server Address show: supl.nokia.com
I have also attempted to update my US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader tool only to have it not complete the download. It freezes or crash every time. When it crashes and I force quit, once I restart, I will see a crash log.
I want to also mention that the first time I tried updating the US maps via Bluetooth using the Nokia Map Loader, I believe my maps were deleted.
I have also deleted my CITIES folder and qf file from my memory card, disconnected from Bluetooth, ran Ovi Maps and saw a message that said something was downloading.
I reconnected via Bluetooth then attempted to update maps yet again in the Nokia Map Loader. It now just sits showing "Looking for map data on your phone".
This has been an over 48 hr ordeal.
What is the fix for at least getting my GPS to work again?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This process and experience is ridiculous at this point after numerous, unsuccessful tries.
Update:
Yet again I deleted the \cities folder & qf file from my memory card. I ran Ovi Maps, my cities folder was re-created, I went to My Position and got the expected red dot. Closed Ovi Maps, enabled Bluetooth, connected with the NMT tool then re-ran the Nokia Map Loader.
Surprisingly, the Nokia Map Loader appeared to connect fine with my device without error. When I selected USA Maps, the tool started downloading, got past the half way point and I saw as message stating "unpacking files". It was actively copying whatever part of the downloaded files it had grabbed to my memory card. Great, or so I thought, as this is as far as I've gotten in the last 48 hrs.
I then got an unexpected error in the Nokia Map Loader and the app closed. The error log is in the attached text file on this thread. (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV))
I restarted the Nokia Map Loader and got the same error to reappear immediately but it re-connected with my device. This is the only app crashing like this on my Mac and giving this error. Previously, the error was EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT).
Now I'm quite annoyed that the Nokia Map Loader does NOT pick up where it left off in the download process before the app crashed. Therefore, I'm attempting to re-download US Maps for the final time, all 1.5GB of it. Hopefully it will complete this time.
Not a good Nokia experience regarding mapping updates at all, at least in the Mac environment.

IPhone 3g only pulled in location of photographs taken in UK and USA

I have returned recently from a cruise , flying out to SIngapore and sailing back to Southampton, calling in at various locations, Thailand ,Malaysia, India, Oman,Jordan, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
A great trip, took lots of photographs plus a lot with the iPhone for the GPS location of places. The phone was turned on throughout as normal, with roaming turned off. Shots were imported into Aperture 3 and I was disappointed to find location data only for the shots taken in the Uk at the beginning and end of the trip. Previously I found the same iPhone picked up location data in the USA quite happily with the same standard settings.
Any ideas ?

I posted this question on a photography centred web site and received the following reply, which may be of interest to others, thanks to Nick Bull
Each satellite in the GPS network has a very accurate atomic clock inside which is synchronised to each other (so they all have the same time). The satellites then constantly beam out signals which contains the time it was sent and its precise location in orbit (and a few other bits of information). Using this information from at least four satellites, it is possible for the GPS device (on the ground) to triangulate the location on Earth. There is not, however, any communication between the device and the satellite. The stand-alone GPS device usually needs several minutes is because it takes several iterations of calculations to get the accuracy required. When you start the GPS device again after turning it off, providing a "short time" has elapsed, or the location has not changed sufficiently since the last activation, it is possible to use the previous known location to "assist" the calculations and therefore provide a fix quicker.
The iPhone's GPS system works on a system known as "A-GPS" or Assisted-GPS (although it is more of a hybrid A-GPS). This uses triangulation from cell towers (it works out how long it takes for the signal to reach a number of cell towers whose locations are known and then can work out a rough location). This is then used as a helper for the GPS system to get a lock more accurately and, because you give the algorithms some starting location, it can find the location quicker. There is nothing transmitted through the data connection with regards satellite location as this is transmitted by the actual satellites all the time. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection then there is a system called Skyhook that can provide the iPhone with your location based on the wi-fi network - this is the only time data is sent across the internet to provide location information.
GPS on the iPhone can (and does) work with or without data connection (unless you are relying on the Skyhook system). It can also work when there is no cell signal (you can take your SIM card out and it will still work - you just can't use it in Airplane mode). As long as you have a "clear view" of the sky then it can use the satellite signal to calculate your location. If you are in a city or other area with high structures, there can be problems with the satellite signals bouncing off buildings and giving multi-path errors. The actual calculation and "lock" time can be from 40 seconds to five minutes depending on how many satellites are "visible".
So, to the OP, if you were carrying your phone with you, the GPS system only activates when you use a location-aware app (the camera, maps app, etc). If you just have the phone on, but in your pocket or bag, then the GPS won't be active. When you pull your iPhone out to take a picture, it doesn't know your location and it could take up to 5 minutes to calculate your location. So if you take your phone out, fire up the camera app and take a picture straight away, it won't have time to get your location. In the UK/USA it can triangulate your cell-tower location to give you a rough location (which is usually fairly accurate). It works differently in other countries, I believe, or you didn't have sufficient cell-tower coverage.
I would suggest that you invest in an app called MotionX GPS (they do a lite version too). This can be started and then the screen locked (to save battery) and it will constantly log your GPS location. This GPS track can then be downloaded at the end of your trip and imported into Aperture 3 to geo-tag the photos you have taken. This is the method I have used on many trips abroad without problem.
I'd like to point out that I have nothing to do with MotionX GPS other than being a happy user of their software.
Hope this helps!

ExtendScript CS6 doesn't handle GPS data properly

I prefer to work in Photoshop and Bridge, rather than Lightroom. I am currently using version CS6 on Windows 7 x64. I occasionally need to update the title, description and/or GPS information of a photograph. (I have many photographs that predate GPS systems.) I also maintain different several JPEG versions of each photograph generated from a base PSD with different cropping and resolutions that are intended for different purposes. I wrote a Bridge script to check and update the metadata of all versions of one or more images in a batch after updating PSD metadata. The script works very well except for the GPS latitude and longitude data.
The problem is that using the XMPMeta object that comes with ExtendScript Toolkit 3.8.0.13 (the latest version, I believe) the GPS coordinates are returned as string data in an "Adobe format", e.g. “35,24.3467N”. This format does not always accurately represent the underlying EXIF data. (I have also written my own script for getting and setting the GPS data in Photoshop.)
Furthermore, comparisons between PSD and JPEG formats are impossible because XMPMeta.getProperty only returns up to two decimal places for minutes when querying a PSD file, whereas it returns up to four decimal places for JPEGs. I have checked the actual EXIF GPS data for a PSD image and a JPEG image generated from that PSD with EXIFTool and the data is identical, but XMPMeta.getProperty returns “35,24.3467N” from the JPEG and “35,24.35N” from the PSD. Setting GPS coordinates using four decimal places produces the same EXIF data for both PSD and JPEG images.
The English translation of the “Exif Version 2.3” standard description for GPSLatitude states:
The latitude is expressed as three RATIONAL values giving the degrees, minutes, and seconds, respectively. If latitude isexpressed as degrees, minutes and seconds, a typical format would be dd/1,mm/1,ss/1. When degrees and minutes are used and, for example, fractions of minutes are given up to two decimal places, the format would be dd/1,mmmm/100,0/1.
It is clear that XMPMeta.getProperty does not always return a string that accurately represents the original EXIF data and it can be inconsistent between PSD and JPEG images.
Is there some way to obtain an accurate representation of GPS data using ExtendScript?
...Jim

I have seen some Photoshop Scripts on the Web the retrieve and use the exif GPG data.   But from what you write I would think your doing the same as those scripts do. Something like this:
// Open Map from GPS Location.jsx
// Version 1.0
// Shaun Ivory ([email protected])
// Feel free to modify this script. If you do anything interesting with it,

HP 8 G2 GPS Doesn't Work

Yet another problem with this tablet: The GPS does not work. Nokia HERE maps: Perpetually "Waiting for GPS".Google Maps can't show location in GPS only mode.GPS Status & Toolbox app never gets past "Looking for GPS location..." Anything to try before I send it back?

If the tablet is less than a year old contact HP. They will ask you to perform a Factory Reset first to eliminate a software issue. To contact HP directly, click this link: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

Plotting GPS data in Diadem

I am analyzing some GPS data and I want to visualize the data on google maps. I remember seeing an exmaple on this topic ( google maps and Diadem interface) but cannot seem to find it anywhere.
I am using Diadem 11.1.0 and I doubt the GPS functionality is not available for this version ?
Please suggest alternate ways to visualize this if possible.
Thanks
Vamshi

Hello Vamshi,
The GPS plotting functionality became available with DIAdem 2010, and is available as part of the Professional version of DIAdem.
It uses Open Street Map (not Google maps) due to Google licensing restrictions. You can see the maps here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/
You can download the DIAdem 2010 evaluation version here by selecting the "Evaluate DIAdem" section: http://www.ni.com/diadem/
DIAdem offers DataPlugins for GPX and NMEA GPS files, so these can be loaded very easily and then added to a map.
Please ask if you have additional questions,
