GPS location

My name is Mohammed from Israel bought iphone 4s from Blfon company and after a month of Maastraeth become suffering from the problem in the navigation program is not working correctly I hope help

I think this is definitely an issue with the wi-fi data from Apple's provider, Skyhook.
I tested my new 3gs model with wi-fi off and Maps gave me my correct current location here at home. As soon as I turn wi-fi on it moves my current location to exactly where I used to live 8 months ago.
For some reason it appears Apple or Skyhook are using an old database of MAC address locations post os 3.0.

GPS Location is not shown in Ovi Share

I upload photos with my Nokia N78 to share.ovi and for some I am sure, that they contain the GPS location. But share.ovi does not show it and I have to add it manually.
It hasn´t worked for any photos, that I have uploaded, yet, although I turned on the GPS Info in the N78 camera settings and if i go to image details, I see the GPS infos.

4.3.3 is the complete basic tool suite. What you downloaded was a .dmg file...double click on that to open and mount. If it's an installer, run it. If it's Xcode the application, drag it into your /Applications folder and run it from there. Unmount the .dmg when done.
You can then download components such as debugging support for another version iOS and documents.
I would suggest you start with the latest tools. You'll go blind trying to straddle fossilized tools and SDKs and anything you learn will be at high risk of being obsolete to get into the store and support things today. Don't put yourself behind the curve at the beginning. Don't be afraid to use Storyboards.

How can I get my photos to save the GPS location for iPhoto?

I noticed that the info on my photos uploaded from my iphone 3G is not marking their location on the map. How can I activate this feature so the GPS location of the photos taken is saved to each photo's info in iPhoto after I upload it? Thanks!

Im not exactly sure what you mean by color profile..can you specify? So i have a dslr canon and take great portraits and tune them to exactly how I want them to look, they dont print at all like the colors presented on my screen. If i antique them then they print yellowish. Ive even tried printing them at walgreens because i thought it was my new printer. Hp hasnt let me doown til now. Is ot a printer setting? Ive never had this kind of printing issue.

How can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions, either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

GPS location doesn't work properly after shift WIFI device to new office

GPS worked well before my office moves to new location. This month, WIFI and other network devices were moved to a new location because of office relocation, but GPS location on google maps and other apps still display as before, even I turn off the WIFI. Only if I go out the office, the GPS works properly.

Means that the office is so heavily shielded that GPS signals are not getting in AND the WiFi access points are not in Apple's database. Do you have cellular data enabled? That's a third way these phones try to guesstimate position based on celltower signal strength.
But if you're in a high security facility, none of the above will work. That would be the way it is designed.

Get GPS location from the command line

Is there a utility to get the current GPS location from the command line? A quick search says `geo` will do it, but that appears to come with the android dev tools, which I'd rather not install right now. The reason I want to do this is to avoid hard-coding my coordinates in a call to `redshift`.

Hmm.. `gpspipe` gives me:
gpspipe: could not connect to gpsd localhost:2947, Unknown error -6(-6)
And `gpsd` gives me:
gpsd:ERROR: can't run with neither control socket nor devices
Do I need to be root for these applications? Alternatively, could I maybe just grab the timezone from /etc/localtime and use that? (though I guess that doesn't get close enough on longitude...)
You have to start gpsd from systemctl. And you can plug/unplug gps devices at will, so it can be enabled in systemctl whether or not an actual gps is always available.

How can I adjust my gps location?

How can I adjust my gps location? When I ask Siri to remind me of something when I get home, it would not work I learned by accident while taking a walk that I have to go past my driveway to the far edge of my property for location services to recognize it as my home. Can I make an adjustment to my gps?

When you say "It always reverts to the same place" what do you mean by it?
It sounds like you are using an address. If you put an address into a map program, the map program will find the address based on where the address is mapped onto the map program, which you can not adjust, and which is often somewhere around the end of a driveway or even a mailbox.
If you had a large piece of property, or if you are looking on a map program for, say, a college campus, by simply inputting the address, there has to be a single point that is assigned to that address, which is why an entrance, driveway or mailbox is often what you get as the result.
This is not related to GPS in any way.
Even if you create a location yourself, via dropping a pin, for example, you are just dropping a point onto a map - once again not related to GPS.
GPS does nothing but show you approximately where your device is currently located.

GPS location on iPhone 4 pics does not displaying in iPhoto Places

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4, and I noticed that the pictures I've taken do not seem to contain GPS location information. I was hoping to use them to geotag my pictures and access them via iPhoto Places feature, but they do not have any location info. I have turned "On" location services for the camera.

Problem solved - the information was not transferred with the photos when I uploaded them to Dropbox via PhotoSync app and then downloaded them to my iMac. Not sure where the info got dropped, but it was in the original files so I was able to recover it.

Gps locations disappeared after update

beware: after the update my gps locations disappeared. this is a big bug in aperture.

Thank you for the warning.
My gps locations are still there after the 3.4.4 to 3.4.5 upgrade, so this is probably not a general problem, but restricted to certain systems. What version did you upgrade from? And what exactly is lost? Places names you added in Aperture? Or gps locations based on gps tracks you added in "Places" view? The list of Places names you edited in "Manage My PLaces"?
If we knew, what exactly is missing now, we could try to recreate the problem you are seeing.
Have you tried to repair the Aperture library after the upgrade?

How can I import Canon GPS location from one picture in project to remaining pictures in project?

How can I import Canon imbeded GPS location from one picture in project to remaining pictures in project?

If you have several photos taken at the same location you can use the Lift&Stamp tool to copy the GPS data to the other images.
Seelct the image, press the "Lift" button, deselect all tags in the Lift&Stamp HUD but the GPS coordinates, then select all photos taken at the same place and and press the "Stamp" tool. (marked by the down arrow)
Alternately use the "Places View". You will see the photos with a GPS location marked by a pin. Drag the photos you want to assign to the same place simply to that pin on the map and they will be assigned to the same place.

Is it possible to have a blackberry return GPS location on a browser response?

A common scenario is when blackberry accesses a server somewhere which in turn sends a form in return with the expectation the user will fill in one or more fields and press OK. Does the blackberry have program code (apps, java code snippets, etc) that can attach the GPS location data to the form data going back to the server? If this is possible, I'll look into writing a small application, if someone has not already done so.
Thanks for your interest.

Yes, use Option-Return

Gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places).

I'm thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 5 but I want to keep the gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places). Is there any way that I can transfer this information to an iPhone 5?

New Iphone baseband firmware has killed all GPS location software.

Are apple aware that the new iphone modem firmware update has effectively broken the iphone 3gs as far as GPS location goes. I have looked around on various forums and on the tomtom forum there are lots of people in the same situation.
http://www.tomtomforums.com/tomtom-iphone-navigator/22273-ios4-1-4-upgrade-no-gp s-fix-iphone-3g.html
I have not seen evidence of apple acknowledging the issue...so dont know if they are even aware of the problem.

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the iPhone range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

Personal Hotspot GPS Location Services ?

So I've set up a Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4 for my new wifi iPad. The wifi iPad does not have it's own gps receiver. From my understanding the wifi iPad gets it's approximate location by looking up from a database of wifi locations that it is currently receiveing. I guess this wifi database is assmebled by Apple or Google or some such. I'm assuming that since the Personal Hotspot is mobile that there is no database location for the iPad to see in this case. But, the iPhone has it's true GPS location updated realtime.
1. So does the iPhone Personal Hotspot somehow communicate it's GPS location to the iPad realtime for the Location Services of the iPad? If not - then why not?
2. Is this something Apple can add in a future OS update?
3. Or, can an App be developed for this?
It would be a shame to have the Personal Hotspot GPS location known realtime by the phone but not communicated to the iPad or other devices.

I have sense read that some third party portable hotspot devices do send gps data.
Out of curiosity, my (admittedly quick and cursory) Google searching couldn't find such claims about either the iPhone or other portable hotspots. Do you have any links?
Edit: My bad. I just didn't know what to search for.
I see things like this that support what you're saying:

Map screen: assign the same GPS location to a "sparse" group of pictures

Let's say a have a buch of photos that have beeen taken at the same spot at different times. The pictures are scattered across the fimstrip and might even belong to different collections in the same catalog (or even different catalogs?). What is the best way to assign the same GPS coordinates to all these pictures using Map screen?
Of course, the direct way to do that is to carefully select all these photos in the filmstrip and then click the desired location on the map. This is problematic for more reasons than one. Firstly, it is difficult to scroll through the entire strip and pick out the pictures one by one. Secondly, if I acccidentally miss one or two pictures, I have to start all over again.
The better way would be some sort of copy-paste appproach: copy the desired location into the clipboard (from another image or straight from the map) and then paste it over the desired images one by one or, better, over groups of images. One feature that at first looks promising in this regard is the text entry field on the right that contains the GPS coordinates in text form. It is editable, meaning that I can copy the coordinates (in text form) from one image and paste it into the same field of another image. However, this unfortunately does not guarantee that the images will end up with identical locations: the image that received new coordinates might (and will) end up with a slightly different location on the map that the "donor" image. This means that the coordinates are stored internally with better precision than their representation in that text entry field.
So, what are the other options?

You could also do this copying of GPS location to whatever photos you want using non-Lightroom (freeware) tools such as GeoSetter or ExifTool. This makes the issue of precision go away, and of course those tools can copy the GPS location to any photo you have, regardless of what Lightroom catalog it is in.
So, you'd have to use LR to write the metadata to the photos, then use non-Lightroom tools to copy the GPS location, then back in Lightroom read the metadata.

Lenovo S820 not catching GPS Location - 4.2.1 OS

Hi,
I bought Lenovo S820 a month ago, I am trying to get the GPS location and it is ot catching the location in any of the application. Even I have the problem that when the device goes to standby data/wifi connection will disconnect and I'll not recieve any instant messages from any of the apps like whatsapp or wechat. Please help

This is being addressed in another thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2672954&start=0&tstart=0
Unless Apple moves on this, I think 3G map users are in a world of hurt. A temporary work around is turing location services off, which is totally contrary for the maps app being a GPS but at least the keyboard doesn't freeze and you can get directions and search.
