How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G

How can I use the gps without internet in my Ipad3 - 4G. Do I need to download any additional app than the one that already came with it?

The Maps app included in iOS, at least as of the current version, requires an Internet connection, so you'll need to get an app that allows you to download maps to be kept on the iPad. MotionX GPS Drive is one such app, but there are others available.

E71 - how can i use the gps, please help

I have never used GPS before, i got E71 last week, it says in the manual that there is an inbuilt gps receiver in it.
From the discussion here it looked like i still need something else to use the GPS. I saw someone
mentioned 'Mapping', does E71 come with this program or do i need to get it from somewhere?
Can someone tell me how i can use the GPS in the E71? Is it possible to use gps in this phone without paying additional charges?
Many thanks.
Solved!

Hi,
I am new n95 user in new zealand. I have a red cross on the satellite when i got into the maps. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi seawolf
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle - signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid black bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
In Maps application it zooms in to last recorded position on starting. At first satellite icon bottom right corner has RED CROSS - this disappears once signal acquired.

How do I use the cloud to find my phone?

I don't know how to use the ICloud to find my lost Iphone5

You need to set up the iCloud account on your iPhone, and under the settings for that account there will be a slider switch to enable the find my iphone feature. That must be ON for the phone to be findable. Then you log in to your iCloud account in a web browser (or use the find my iPhone app on another iOS device) and track your phone from iCloud.

How to generate a gps signal using the PXI-5671 after generating a gps binary file using the gps toolkit

Hi,
I am trying to test a GPS receiver and would like to use the PXI-5671 to stream a GPS binary data file which was generated using the GPS toolkit. I tried using the RFSG Arbitrary Waveform Generation.vi but it doesn't work. Is there a sample code that will allow me to do this?
Thank you.

Hello,
The NI-RFSG driver certainly allows you to stream waveform files to signal generators without the use of the GPS Toolkit, as shown here. However, the NI-RFSG driver does not provide the user with out-of-box applications that can stream GPS waveforms with Almanac and Ephemeris information to various signal generators. For this reason, the NI GPS toolkit will be needed.
The only alternative is that you will gather your own Almanac and Ephemeris files and implement your own functionality using the base RFSG driver to generate and stream the GPS signals. This is something that you would need to do on your own, which could prove to be difficult, thus making the GPS toolkit the best option.
I hope this information helps.

How can I use the iPhone GPS without a contract?

Is there any way? Call me crazy, but I want GPS and I already have a cellphone that I'm not interested in replacing. Would it be possible to go and get an iPhone and use the GPS without paying for a plan? I already use AT&T, but what don't want is to pay for the data plan. Does the GPS system use the AT&T service to function at all?
Thanks!

The iPhone 3G will be sold at at&t and Apple brick and mortar stores only - at least initially, and activation and signing a two year contract will be required at the store when the iPhone is purchased. The unlimited data plan is not an option and is required.
The iPhone includes what is called A-GPS or assisted GPS.
The iPhone Maps application downloads selected maps from Google, which is downloaded to the iPhone via wi-fi or at&t's cellular network. GPS without having access to maps won't be much good. Some 3rd parties may provide select maps that can be purchased and downloaded to the iPhone via the iTunes App Store for access via GPS if there is no cell phone reception, but this is unknown.

How can I access the GPS NMEA feed from my MHS 291L Jetpack?

I understand how to turn on the GPS feature in the device setup. I'm unable to determine how to access the GPS data using third party software.

EricLowry, thanks for these details. Sorry, you will need to contact the 3rd party software developer to retrieve the steps on how to access GPS data. Click http://bit.ly/y5iuoj for device support for your Jetpack.

Is it possible to use the GPS function on an IPAD2 without a 3G or WiFi connection

I have an IPAD2 with WiFi+3G. I need to be able to use the GPS without a WiFi or 3G connection. Is this possible? If so how.

Yes you can. The 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip so doesn't need a connection to a 3G or wifi network to work. If you want to be able to view your position on a map then you need the relevant maps to have already been downloaded to the iPad, so you probably need one of the third-party mapping apps.

How to manually initiate the GPS location?

*Main question: Can anyone advise how I can point the GPS application (Maps) to where I am to speed up the GPS initiation?*
While I am at it...
Also perhaps a recommendation a good GPS application for in the Desert (no roads, need to plan a route, waypoints save track, trackback etc). Currently using X-motion which is fairly good but drinks the battery like there's no tomorrow - or perhaps that is just the use of GPS...
Thank you!

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the entire iOS device 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.

How do I use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document?

How does one use the Japanese fonts in Font Book in a Pages document. Pages has its own fonts but I cannot get the Japanese fonts into it.

To type japanese on a computer you change the keyboard, not the font. Go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add Japanese/Kotoeri to the list, then select Hiragana in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, then type. The font will take care of itself.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
