GPS roaming

I have a legit unlocked iPhone that I purchased in Italy (legit as in a legally unlocked iPhone which you pay a premium for). I use an Italian provider, however I was in Switzerland recently, so the phone was on a Swiss network (still has my Italian SIM in). Nothing out of the ordinary there.
I have data roaming turned off, however when I went to use GPS it actually worked even with data roaming turned off. Does this mean A) that it is going over the Swiss carriers non data network or B) the 3GS has it's own GPS radio? I thought it was kind of neat that it actually worked without having data roaming on, however it may just be using the non data network. Any ideas?

GPS itself doesn't need data, but some GPS apps, such as Maps, do. Some navigation apps have built-in maps, so don't need data.

GPS does not appear to work with data-roaming off and no wi-fi network

I have been using an application called imarkmyspot to produce way-points for synchronising with my camera. When I am in my home country this works fine and a GPS location is found quickly.
I've recently been abroad and had data-roaming turned off to avoid high expense. The point is that in this situation the GPS does not work (with imarkmyspot or Goggle Maps) unless I can access an open wi-fi network.
So my question is, is this correct? Does GPS only work with either data access on or when within range of an open wi-fi network.
If this is feature (bug) of the iPhone then this makes applications such as imarkmyspot rather useless when travelling. Alternatively it could be imarkmyspot that has this problem of course. But I'm quite sure Google Maps did not work either in this situation either.

The iPhone's GPS does work without a data connection.
Two weeks ago on a work-related trip I knew I'd be traveling a rural highway that would leave me without data/voice from any source for at least 45 minutes (no GSM service). Before leaving a city with data, I zoomed out using Google Maps far enough to show most of my route, then "nudged" the map so the application wouldn't try to get a data update for the map. I simply used the top power button to turn on and off the screen. The iPhone and GMaps tracked me through for the entire blacked-out section of my trip - I made sure the device had a decent view of the sky and it got a fix and nailed the location within a few seconds.
Ironically, I'm returning that device in the next few hours for an exchange. The GPS hardware, it seems, has failed about a week ago - the device gets A-GPS fixes now (it shows the nearby 3G and EDGE towers), but won't lock in for more than a second or two. My iPhone's GPS worked, and now it doesn't - AppleCare told me my GPS hardware has failed - and you're may be exhibiting the same failure.
Some A-GPS devices use their sources to get close by - like my TomTom GO and the ephemeris files it grabs from their servers to get updates on where satellite locations are - and then use the on-board chip to nail the device's position. From what I understand of the iPhone's assistance mechanism, the data tower's and Wi-Fi physical location needs to be correct and available in an accessible database somewhere - my iPhone was showing me near Houston TX (2200 mi/3500 km distant from my actual location) when using 3G data until the data source was updated.

Using iPhone's assisted GPS equals high data roaming fees?

Consider the following setup:
I buy an simlock-free iPhone 3G S in Brussels, Belgium for €512. I purchase the TomTom navigational iPhone application on the App Store so that I don't have to rely on an expensive Belgian mobile provider to get continuous access to Google Maps. I use this iPhone with a standard voice+data plan.
Suppose I drive a 300 km south to Paris, France. I use my iPhone with the TomTom app to negotiate the Parisian roads.
Question: will the GPS unit of my (future) iPhone 3G S be able to find its position on its own without relying on a paid data connection? (even if it takes a while)

To answer your question, yes it will work. (Just may take more time to acquire sats, like a normal GPS.) Also, I just tried it by removing my SIM and turning off Wifi.
What Ian said is not quite correct. Assisted GPS does use the network connection and uses either the cell towers or wifi access points (Skyhook.com has more info) to locate you. It uses the SSID of these wifi networks whether or not they are password protected, but needs to exchange this data with Apple/skyhook to figure out where you are, and it does this over a network connection (or wifi, I believe.)

I'm taking my cell phone out of the country. I do not plan to make or receive calls with it, and I will disable the roaming feature. But, I am wondering if I can use the GPS or access a website with it without costing lots more??

See above

I disabled roaming on my wireless pc card and VZW Access Manager showed the network as Verizon and after 10 minutes use got a phone text msg and a email saying my international roaming charges are exceeding $50.00, and I have never had the card or laptop across the border. Calling customer service got transferred to tech support and the tech wanted to add a global plan for $25 then she said she would cancel it at the end of the billing cycle and would credit my account the remaining balance owed, how stupid do they think we are, she wouldn't transfer me back to the customer service rep or to a 2nd tier tech, just trying to weasel me into something I told her I wouldn't agree to even if it was in writing and I know how Verizon works with verbal explanations of plans, been taken that way too. I've told the reps many times that the next time a Verizon employee tries to pull a fast one they will lose a customer that has never been with another provider. It appears that Verizon's towers near the border recognize users that aren't regular users in that area and try to charge ridiculously high data rates, $50.00 for 10 minutes, then the tech tries to get you to agree to something that will get them a commission, why else would they delay crediting you the amount, which most likely is not going to actually happen anyway, and it's not in writing so not able to prove it. Well Verizon isn't getting 1 cent of that charge and depending on how they handle this they may lose a customer and have to send some poor unsuspecting employee to respond to the small claims court or just plain default. One more call to customer service is it, sorry, done playing their game by their rules.

GPS on 929 when roaming

I find that the map only finds my location when abroad if I enable data roaming. I thought the whole point of having th downloadable maps was that you didn't need to use data when roaming. I have location services enabled and it works fine in my home country, the UK or when on wifi or when I enable data roaming. Is there anything else that I should do?

To clarify. I have now twice roamed with my 920 and the only way that it locates me on the map (which I had pre-downloaded for both countries before departure) was when I was on wifi or had data roaming enabled for over the air reception. From the reply I received it suggested that it would eventually find my location without enabling roaming, but does anyone have any idea how long this will take - and will the battery still be alive by then?
In contrast when roaming with my old iPhone 4S, using a Tom-Tom app, I did'nt have to enable data roaming and it worked very well. I was hoping that the 920 would be at least as good as this.

Hi. Can you tell me if using the sat nav functionality on the in-built maps app on my iphone 5, uses just GPS (hence no cost) or GPS and data roaming, hence a running cost for the extent of my journey?

Hi
As the tile says, I am looking to find out if I need to purchase an actual Sat-nav app or if I can use the inbuilt functionality and not incur additional data charges
Thanks

The built in Maps apps requires a data connection to download mapping data. So, if you want to avoid data costs, you need to purchase a navigation app that stores the data locally on your phone.

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.

Roaming Profile Folder Creation Immediately Inaccessible

Set up is AD 2008. Terminal 2012 R2, Fileserver 2012.
Before we've had it set so we could create a user in AD, log them onto the Terminal, it creates the profile, which on log out is saved to its roaming location on the Fileserver with a V2 after it. In their profile field in AD, that Fileserver location
was given as well.
Something changed recently and we're not sure what. Now if I create a user in AD, and log them into the Terminal, it gives me a message that a temporary profile is being used for this log on. When I log out, it creates the V2 on the Fileserver,
but I'm unable to access it even with admin credentials. I've been able to change the owner, but it doesn't allow me to delete that folder and try again. I have been able to run this
SET DIRECTORY_NAME="C:\profilelocation"
TAKEOWN /f %DIRECTORY_NAME% /r /d y
ICACLS %DIRECTORY_NAME% /grant administrators:F /t
PAUSE
where the profile location is the folder in question and have it open it up enough to delete so we can troubleshoot. But doing that doesn't change the initial Terminal status of using a roaming profile and it using a temporary profile.
On the terminal server, I have also found the registry setting for that user and deleted it (the one with the .bak ending). That allows a good logon if I remove the profile location setting in AD. But when I move the folder to the fileserver,
and then add the location back in AD, I get the Temporary Profile error again.
Any ideas where to start looking? I don't think we've changed any GPs that affect our terminal users. Current users are fine, but I won't be able to create any new users and have them use a roaming profile.
Ben Rollman

Well, I'm still not sure what changed. Here's what I've done so far. (Email to my boss yesterday.)
I set up a test container under States and moved all the state user, test user, etc into it. Then I backed up the current ExtUsers_UsersGPO settings and imported them
into a new GPO called TextExt… and enabled the computer settings. It had the following but the Computer Setting wasn’t enabled so it wouldn’t have done that.
Policy
Setting
Comment
Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles
Enabled
I deleted the local and roaming file, and for good measure the registry entry. I logged in as “testuser” and didn’t receive any problems. Created a test folder,
test file, logged off. I see the testuser.V2 on the FS, but I can’t access it, like before.
I run the following script to change it so I can access it.
SET DIRECTORY_NAME="C:\Files\Profiles\testuser.v2"
TAKEOWN /f %DIRECTORY_NAME% /r /d y
ICACLS %DIRECTORY_NAME% /grant administrators:F /t
PAUSE
The FS profile is set for full rights for domain and local admin, but no user. So I add the user as the owner, and give the user full rights. Log in, and I get
this.
Your roaming profile is not synchronized correctly with the server. Windows will load your previously-saved local profile instead. See the previous events for details.
And these in event viewer.
Windows cannot copy file
\\statefs\Profiles\testuser.V2\ntuser.ini to location C:\Users\testuser\ntuser.ini. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.
Windows could not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you log off. Windows could
not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security. Either the current user or the Administrators group must be the owner of the folder.
I had put the icons on the FS folder just to see if it would show up. I saw the test folder okay in both. But when I logged back in, the shortcut icons weren’t
there. AND when I logged off, it overwrote the FS folder, removing the icons.
From there I checked the TS local profile folder (just in case) and saw it had no testuser rights at all. The owner of that folder was SYSTEM. So just for fun I
changed the owner to testuser, made sure to set it for all subfolders, logged in, no error message. Logged out, put shortcuts into the desktop folder on FS, logged back in, no errors and the shortcuts are there.
So.
I don’t know if it’s the GP or the fact that maybe the TS folder wasn’t getting the right permission to allow the roaming process to write to it or both. I’m going to
try to recreate this, see if there’s a way to shorten the process or create a template like before.

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.

GPS maps to south america

Hello i am from uruguay south america. Blackberry maps doesnt have uruguay as a coverage area, does anyone know where can i found a software that allow me to use gps with voice step by step to go from one direction to other. Thank you very much

You typically will need a SIM card for the country you are travelling in. If you don't, then you may encounter roaming charges.
You may want to contact your current SIM providor, Optus, and see if they have service in the South American countries you are going to visit.

Nokia 5800 Maps and GPS

I live in New Zealand and will be travelling too Hawaii next month, if I use the phone for GPS will I be charged for global roaming data?

Hi, yes you will incurr data roaming charges, previous advice was correct, to disable AGPS you can go into setting-phone-phone mgmt-Application Settings-Positioning-Positioning methods, and un-tick everything except intergrated GPS, this will incur no data charges, and phone will work like a TOMTOM.
Good Luck (though you probably don't need it, you live in NZ and are going to Hawiai !!! Enjoy your trip)

IPhone GPS question

Hello Everybody!
I'm a new iPhone user and new at iPhoneFans.
I'm from Brazil and I have an iPhone 3Gs without jailbreak and locked to my mobile company (Vivo). Next week I'm gonna to Orlando. It will work in roaming, but I will not use data connection in roaming because it is extremelly expansive (about USD$ 15 per MB).
I would like to know if I have a GPS software like Tomtom, and if I try to use it, it will need some kind of data connection for the aGPS assistance?
And other question is, there are some GPS software that I could buy just adicional maps instead the full software for each "map" or country?
Thanks for any help.

Although the iPhone uses AGPS or assisted GPS, the iPhone includes a GPS receiver. The iPhone's AGPS allows for a GPS fix to be acquired faster only. It is not required to get a GPS fix.
Data roaming is turned off by default with the iPhone. Data access via the cellular network is not required to get a GPS fix, and if you have a GPS app with maps data for a geographic location downloaded and available locally on the iPhone with the app, no internet access is required for access to the maps data.

Aperture 3 and GPS logs

According to the manual, Aperture 3 can place photos on a map based on camera GPS data, or else manually by clicking on a map.
I have a camera that doesn't support GPS and was hoping I could find a solution where Aperture can add GPS EXIF data based on importing from a GPS log (from a dedicated GPS device) and comparing timestamps.
Do any such plugins exist for Aperture 3?
(BTW, I've read people's iPhone-related solutions, and that is not going to work for me since I will be roaming in places where the iPhone's accuracy will be called into question...not to mention I'd have to remember to snap an iPhone photo at every waypoint along the way.)

1. GPS Track file: I use "GPS Tracker" (free, app store) on my iPhone to store the GPS track logs on instamapper.com (free). Define the trip and download the track file (in .gpx format).
2. I took about 200 pictures over 3 days on my Nikon D100 onto a CF card.
3. I opened Aperture 3 and imported the images into a new project. I clicked on (Places) button. Used the [GPS] drop down and selected "Import GPS track" (this drew the track nicely!). Selected all images. And dragged the selected images to the track. Aperture asked to assign locations based on time. I selected (Assign Locations). None of the images were assigned the correct locations I removed the images from Aperture.
Marc Vose wrote:
Just wondering which program you're using to actually bring the images off the camera in this scenario.
4. I placed the CF card into the usb CF reader and copied the images to a folder using the finder.
5. I installed exiftool (link: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) and issued the terminal command:
$ exiftool -geotag=/Users/kent/Downloads/Vacation-2010-02-AZ.gpx .
This tagged all the images in the directory using the track file Vacation-2010-02-AZ.gpx
6. I imported the images into Aperture, clicked on the [Places] button. And all the images have been correctly placed.
7. I burn the raw images to dvd before formatting the CF card (send off-site for backup .
The GPS track support still needs some work in Aperture - but is it nice to be able to work with location information on the images.

How to disable cell activity but keep GPS enabled

We are cruising soon and I want to make sure I don't get any unexpected charges for traveling out of the US. However, I want to take pictures and will want the GPS function to work. Will the Airplane setting allow for this?

Turning off data roaming is a MUST unless you pay for their global roaming data for a hefty price...honestly...I'm not sure if the photo tagging via the phones GPS will still work if airplane mode is on...
If airplane mode is off and you have data roaming off then you should not have a big bill...just make sure to use WIFI only...
Keep in mind that although I did not agree with nor understand this explanation from AT&T when I traveled to Jamaica for my Honeymoon....When there and the phone was on...if the phone rang and i DID NOT answer it they still charged me for the incoming call...
I fought this and the charges were removed but they showed up...horrible!!
That said if data roaming is off and airplane mode off then your GPS may not tag your photos...you'll have to try it in the US first and play with the settings and then see if iPhoto shows the tag...

GPS not working all the time, and 3G radio not turning on

Alright,
Here's the situation in a nutshell. I have done extensive trial and errors trying to troubleshoot my own phone. And by the way, I’m on my 4th Incredible. I have come to the conclusion it’s not my phone, at least for now. When I’m in a Verizon area (towers), my GPS works the best. Locks on to signal within seconds. Ok, where i live we have the Alltel towers yet which are being divested to ATT. So, when i bring up the GPS/Nav/Latitude etc, etc. the GPS never locks on and just sits there searching. Now, if i leave a Verizon coverage with my NAV on it works fine all the way home. Next, i turn off my NAV and wait a few seconds or minutes and then turn it back on, i get nothing. There is something wrong with the towers or something where i live. Does the Incredible download the GPS assistance from the towers to better locate the satellites? Also, most of the time if i do a reboot, i have to place my phone into Airplane mode, wait, then turn it off to get my radio to turn on. I was in a Verizon area this past weekend and restarted my phone like 4-5 times and the 3g Radio would turn on no problem. I think I’m getting close to the problem at hand. I just need some assistance from a techy at Verizon. I hope I explained this thoroughly. As everyone knows this screws up all my location apps to show the wrong location.
Thanks

Looky what i found. I found this on another forum that a guy figured out. Verizon, please get a patch for this or a permanent fix. We shouldn't have to do this to make the GPS work. My phone doesn't say i'm roaming, but i do live in an Extended Network.
Here it is:
One way to get a GPS lock when Roaming.
Like some others in this thread, I can track myself with the GPS on the satellite map from home (in Verizon service area) to our cabin in NE Pennsylvania (Extended Network in the white area not covered on the Verizon map). The tracking is accurate. It even follows me down the path to the water. But, when I turn off the map so save battery, I can't obtain a GPS lock when I turn mapping back on. GPS Test sees the satellites, but won't lock. By trial and error, I discovered that if I put the phone in Airplane mode and turn it off, (wait a while), and turn it on while still in Airplane mode (Signal Strength 0dBm - Not Roaming - because it doesn't know that it's in Extended Network with radio off), I can get a GPS lock just as quick as I can at home (in Verizon territory - not roaming) - usually less than minute using GPS Test. Once I have the lock, I can turn Airplane mode off and the map and tracking work perfectly (I have 3G and 1X, to download maps, depending on location), and continue to work until I close the map, at which point I have to do the Shutdown in Airplane mode work around.
Answers in this and other forums as well as Verizon and HTC support are all over the map (no pun intended). Verizon says I need a cell signal to lock while HTC says not necessary at all, and others have various solutions. Clearly, the phone is able to obtain a GPS lock without any cell signal since it locks in Airplane mode. It seems to be some sort of software problem in that IF it thinks the phone is Roaming it must be waiting for some sort of A-GPS signal, and won't lock. Also, it won't work if I simply put in Airplane mode without re-booting because it's still in Roaming status. But when it's booted in Airplane mode and it doesn't know it's in a Roaming area, it relies on the internal GPS to get a lock. (For some reason, I have to leave it off for a while for this to work). So the hardware seems to be working fine.
I got this phone to eliminate the need for a separate GPS, and I have figured out how to use it when out of Verizon's area. But it's ridiculous to have to go through the shutdown in Airplane mode, wait a while, and reboot just to get a GPS lock. If Apple can do it, why can't Verizon? It seems like this would be pretty easy to fix by writing a software patch that uses the standalone GPS if a A-GPS signal is not available. Does anyone know if Google is looking into this? Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get the GPS to work without rebooting while Roaming?
