Locate my sales force using the GPS capabilities of an iPad2. Possible?

What if I have a nation wide sales force equipped with iPad 2 devices. I want to be able to see where they are on a map from the home office using the GPS locator capabilities built in to the device. The idea would be to get the closest salesperson to respond to a sales lead. Is this possible? Waht applications or setup would be necessary?

I cannot speak from experience becasue my iPad is Wi-Fi, I can only pass on what I have read. GPS only is a much slower system to initiate. You need to be in an area where the iPad can create an unobstructed line of sight with the satelite system. And that can take a while to occur. But with a SIM card you can take advantage of Assisted-GPS and tap into the fact that your iPad can know where it is faster becasue it can tap into the local cellular network and a data base of cell tower locations, as well as wi-fi hotspot locations. Folks report that this works even if you do not actually have cellular service account activated.
Are location services activated on your iPad? Have you ever denied the iPad access to your location?

  • 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.

  • 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!

    How to install and setup GPS in nokia E-71.
    Firstly Install Nokia Ovi Suite (advance version of PC Suite) in your respected computer.

    After installation of Nokia Ovi Suite go to following link
    http://www.nokia.co.in/explore-services/ovi-maps/downloads?intc=ncomexpserv-fw-ilc-lft-con-na-ncomex...
    Now install the the second link file into your phone, i.e., "nokia_maps_3.03_10wk11_b04_s60_3.1_rom.Nocs.sis".
    After successful installation connect your phone with data cable in PC Suite (DON'T run PC suite application in your system) mode and open Nokia Ovi Suite application in your system.
    Now in Nokia Ovi Suite application click on View-Go to-Maps (make sure your system is connected to Internet and your mobile phone key pad doesn't get locked, if keypad autolock period is on switch it off for that moment and your phone is fully charged, now in maps select Asia in that India and download that India Map (103 MB) into your phone.
    Please Note that do not disconnect your phone from data cable else maps will not get downloaded and will not to be
    transferred to your phone.
    After successful installation of maps into your phone download "Voice Guidance Languages", which ever is preferred by you, if you really want to enjoy it. Like- English(UK)-with street names or in Hindi, Tamil, Urdu.
    Now you are almost done, just take your phone into your hand,
    Go to Maps then select Options-then Settings
    Internet-Connection-Offline ( don't worry your GPS will work fine as data bearer is Nokia which is free of charge, so just relax).
    Navigation-Drive Guidance-Select the desired Voice
    Walk Guidance-Select the desired Voice or you can set it to Beeps and Vibrations (if downloaded).
    Home Location- define you home location by searching in maps, this will make easier to drive back to home by simply selecting Drive Home option while using navigation.
    Now go to option Map-Categories-select the categories you want to be shown on the map.
    Its DONE, now search for any desired location press the selection button and then select Drive to or Walk to option and you will be connected to GPS.
    Please Note as GPS needs free environment so it may not work in home and generally it takes 10-15 minutes to connect so please be patient.

  • Help, my googlemaps can not use the gps any more after updated the software.

    hello
    i am fresh here
    about a month ago i got a 9630 from bell
    at first the googlemap works well, but a few days ago i updated the software(9630AMEA_PBr4.7.1_rel77_PL4.1.0.40_A4.7.1.40_Bell_Mobility_Inc)
     since then it can't use the gps any more.
    it always say "your current location is temporarily unavailable. gps temporarily unaviliable "
    thank you very much if any buddy can help me

    Go into your OPtions, then advanced options, applications and highlite google maps, menu button, edit permissions.  make sure they are set to "allow".  this will typically solve it.  also go into your GPS settings (under options) and make sure its set to "location On".
    Try these and you should be back up and running.

  • Where to locate and how to use the filter thershould to binarized image

    Good morning friends. I am using
    Labview with VDM and let me know where to locate and how to use the
    filter thershould. Also that parameters used to binarized image captured
    via webcam and display it in black and white.
    Thank you very
    much.

    Is the image that you are getting a RGB one? Use color plane extraction and then use a binary threshold to convert it into a binary image. You can also directly use a color threshold and convert a rgb (color) image to a binary image.

  • 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 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.
    Regards.

    The MX922 (known as the MX926 in Australia) is supported by 10.10 and Windows 7. Whatever site you were looking at may not have updated their details. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site showing the drivers and applications for this model for 10.10.

  • If i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display

    because when i use the gps app in my iphone 4s in the car my iphone gets overheat so
    if i dont use the display when using the GPS and only listen to the voice instructions can that also makes the iphone overheat even if you dont use the display
    will that help?

    When you use your GPS does your iPhone get hot enough to shutdown?  The reason I ask is that I have run my GPS app with the screen brightness set to near max connected to power for hours.  My iPhone got hot, but didn't shutdown.

  • Can i use the GPS without internet connection ?

    hey if im driving and i dont have inenet, can i sill use the gps ?

    IMPO, no Internet connection is definitely fine for Nokia Maps as the software uses offline map data to guide your drive.
    BUT, the phone must be under your mobile provider's coverage as it needs A-GPS to help lock the position. Othewise, it would take ages to lock or might be not working at all.

    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.
