Is there a facility to put a GPS aerial on the N95...

I got the N95 really in order to have a neat GPS/OS map system for hill walking and a phone in one and have just been trying my N95 with some OS 1:25000 and 1:50000 maps from Viewranger (excellent mapping product, excellent service). Walking about with the phone open in your hand to maintain GPS reception is a pain - I wonder if there is the facility to have a simple wire GPS aerial like a headphone wire for FM reception so the phone could be in your pocket (except when you wanted to check the map) and the wire outside? Bluetooth would drain the battery too much, especially if GPS was running. One other option would be a case like an IPOD case that runners use, strapped to your arm to leave your hands free - perhaps those are available - anyone know the answer to these two questions?
Idea for Nokia - how about making the maps downloadable by country - for example Europe is a whopping 1.4GB and took me more than an hour to download, fortunately to my PC. To be able to download just single or multiple countries would be great.

It works really well looks on fast works "indoors" in the car back jeands pocket sirf 111 tech and has auto power shut down too.
I use mine all the time The battery outlasts the N95 battery and can charge via a USB cable mains 250v ac or 12 v dc all supplied with mine
and it lets 2 devices to connect IE have have the N95 connect to carkit via bluetooth but it also connects to Holux so I get navigation on the car ice
Does this GPS receiver work with Nokia Maps? If it does, how do you get the phone to use it instead of its internal GPS receiver?
T-mobile please give us v.20 N95 software.

  • Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock

    Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock. not just one bookmark. i have done that. but i want all of them in stack or something.. similar to how windows did it in the start menu. its annoying that you have to open firefox first to access your links.
    i got my first imac yesterday and loving it!!! albeit the text is a bit small but i have found the zoom!
    thanks in advance

    Perhaps you don't know how to bring icons into the Firefox  Toolbar. You can put many things up there, including Bookmarks. You can also remove an icon or rearrange the order of icons.
    From View>Toolbars>Customize
    Here is the Bookmarks icon (next to the History icon) from which you can open all your bookmarks directly. And if you can remember a keyword, it will find that one, or any others that come up with that keyword. It's really quite convenient to use and will stay updated with any new bookmarks that are added.
    This is showing the Bookmarks open, which can be closed by clickng on the small x.

  • I sent iTunes to trash. I was able to recover the program but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there any way to put back from trash using the "select all" command?

    I sent iTues to trash by mistake (trying to delete files from "yesterday"). I got the program back but have to "put back" songs one at a time. Is there a way to put back multiple songs using the "select all" command or anything else? Thanks for the help.

    The prgram is in one location and the library (media + library files) are in another. Sending it all to the trash would take some pretty delibrate multiple actions and digging through multiple folders, so I don't know how this was managed unless there's something in Snow Leopard that's new. Occasionally I have moved a file to the trash in Finder that I didn't want to and I can use Finder's "undo" to undo the last move. With many files...?

    Yep, I'd have to agree with numbers 3 and 4. The barcode reader is absolutely hopeless, hasn't worked once for me on any barcode on any firmware!

  • Is there a way to put multiple text objects in the same frame but with different timings?

    I am editing a video of my self talking to the camera and would like to impose text on the screen to highlight what I am saying. When I am discussing each point I would like them to appear as text separately.
    Imagine the video of me standing and talking to the camera
    "Today I am going to talk about travelling in the North of Scotland and give advice on how to get by. I will talk about the best value hostels " - the word 'hostels' appears first at the top right of the screen
    "I will describe the best routes to take" - the word 'routes' now appears under the the word 'hostels'
    "And finally, I will describe the best places to eat traditional Scottish cuisine" - the word 'food' now appears under 'routes'.
    Apologies if this seems basic but the documentation is focuses on using one title or the set effects. I suppse I am trying to create a presentaiton style of video.
    Cheers

    SunnyKSood
    The quickest approach that comes to mind is
    a. create 3 separate titles in the Titler (Text Menu/New Text/Default Text)....
    food, goes on Video 4
    routes, goes on Video 3
    hostels, goes on Video 2
    Arrange them so that when viewed they are viewed as
    hostels
    routes
    food
    b. Move hostels (Video 2) to where you want it to start in relation to
    "Today I am going to talk about travelling in the North of Scotland and give advice on how to get by. I will talk about the best value hostels " - the word 'hostels' appears first at the top right of the screen
    Move routes (Video 3) to where you want it to start in relation to
    "I will describe the best routes to take" - the word 'routes' now appears under the the word 'hostels'
    Move food (4) to where you want it to start in relation to
    "And finally, I will describe the best places to eat traditional Scottish cuisine" - the word 'food' now appears under 'routes'.
    c. When all that is done to this stage, it might look like this...
    Now to arrange and drag out track content so that we see
    hostels
    then hostels + routes
    then hostel + routes + food
    when they are supposed to appear in conjunction with the video's dialog.
    The final workspace should look like
    Please give this a try. And, do not hesitate to let me know if you need clarification on anything described.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way to put the same event on multiple icloud calendars?

    Is there a way to put the same calendar entry on multiple calendars?  I have five children and most of them use their iTouch to keep there calendar.   My calendar is on icloud and I'd love it if they could see only their events but I need to see all of them.   Many of the events affect more than one child.

    As follow up to the above question,  I am the person putting items on the calendars.  I am not just trying to see calendars that they are maintaining. 

  • Is there a way to put more apps (increase the folder size limit) in iOS 5.0.1 on iPad2

    Thanks for any thoughts in advance.....
    Dave

    Firstly, Thanks for taking the time to reply :-) 
    It's not that I want gazillions of apps, I just wanted to put more in each folder so I don't have to have multiple folders with similar names....Weather1, 2, 3,etc.... but I see your point and appreciate the thoughts.

  • My wife and I share an account , is there a way to put both our contact lists in our one iCloud account without merging them., My wife and I share an account , is there a way to put both our contact lists in our one iCloud account without merging them.

    My wife and I both have iPhones and we share an apple ID. Is there a way to put both our contact list in the same iCloud without merging the lists.  We want to be able to use the same iCloud account because we share info .

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, there is no way of maintaining two separate contact lists with one account. Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, you can still share your info by allowing each other to log into the other's account as a secondary account at settings >mail, contact, calendars. You can choose which services you choose to share and which you don't. This way you could maintain separate contact lists but still share them.

  • Is there a way to put the bluetooth icon on the homepage?

    I pair my iphone with my car when I'm driving. Is there a way to put the bluetooth icon on the homepage so I don't have to go through settings to turn the bluetooth on and off?
    I don't like to leave the bluetooth on all the time because it drains the battery, but it's kinda a pain to have to go through settings everytime I want to use this feature.
    On my last cell phone I could assign a "hot key" to automatically turn the bluetooth on and off. I really liked that. This bluetooth system seems a little dated to me.

    No not yet, hopfully soon.

  • Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?

    Is there a way to put the cursor at a specific location in a RichTextBox?
    The following code places the cursor at the start of a RichTextBox:
        RichTextBox RTbx
        RTbx.Focus();
        TextPointer tp = RTbx.CaretPosition;
        tp = tp.DocumentStart;
        RTbx.CaretPosition = tp;
    Not sure how to place it at a specific location other than start and end.
    The RichTextBox has contents.  At this point in the code, I do know the specific "word" in the contents, as well as the position (number of chars) where that word is located.  I just need to programmatically place the cursor at that location.

    Oh sorry, I see I missed something out my original reply.
    I have markup:
    <Grid>
    <RichTextBox Name="rtb">
    <FlowDocument>
    <Paragraph >This is the first paragraph</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph >TSecond paragraph is here</Paragraph>
    </FlowDocument>
    </RichTextBox>
    </Grid>
    Code - this is the window contentrendered event
    private void Window_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rtb.Focus();
    // TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
    TextPointer moveTo = rtb.CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(9, LogicalDirection.Forward);
    if (moveTo != null)
    rtb.CaretPosition = moveTo;
    I see the cursor between the t and he of the second "the".
    Note that there are numerous other options such as the commented out line.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

    Not if you set up very carefully what you want synced from your computer.  Make sure you have not set things to sync automatically and manually choose the settings of what gets synced

    When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.
