N810 (Internet Tablet): Is it possible to have the...

Hello,
I have a brand new Nokia N810 with a built-in GPS. There is a Map application from WayFinder (a company that is only contactable via a non working web form!) included with the device. The map application starts fine, and have maps for my country (Sweden). When the application starts it also starts the GPS. That is, the GPS icon appears alongside the connection, bluetooth, etc icons att the top of the screen. The "View->GPS view" menu pops up a window showing the number of satelites it have found, and it does find satelites!
Now my problem is that there seem to be now way whatsoever to make the map actually show the GPS position! There is a "View->Show actual position" meny entry, but it has no effect. If the map shows Sundsvall (a city high up north in Sweden) and I'm in Stockholm, the map still shows Sunsvall after I select "View->Show actual position".
There is also an icon at the bottom right of the screen (looks like a plus with a box around it). I have no idea what it does, but nothing happens when I press it. I though it might be "show my position", but it is as useless as the meny entry.
Is there any way to get the map to show the actual GPS position ?
I also installed the MaemoMapper applictaion, which according to its documentation should also be able to make use of the GPS, but it fails talking to the GPS no matter what I do. I have selected the /dev/pgps device as suggested by the application, and I have verified that the device exists in the /dev filesystem, but it refuses.
Could it be that my built-in GPS simply does not work ? If so, how do I prove it is faulty so that I can return my N810 and get a new one ?
Thanks beforehand for any help or suggestions.
Best Regards,
Tommy Svensson

I had the same experience as you describe, but I did get it to work. First, go outside. It doesn't work from a windowsill in my experience. Car should be OK, too! Second, Maemo Mapper doesn't seem to find the GPS until the built-in Maps application is running also. I think I also used the "GPSD host" choice. I don't really remember because I didn't like Maemo Mapper even after I did get it to find my GPS. I purchased the premium nav application, and it works great for me. You get a car-friendly GUI that isn't there in the default version. In the car, it takes a minute or two to find the satellites.

  • For any given Bookmarks folder, is it possible to have the subfolders appear *above* individual links?

    For any given Bookmarks folder, is it possible to have the subfolders all appear *above* the individual links (as they do in Internet Explorer), rather than mixed together alphabetically? (Or is there perhaps an add-on that will allow me to do this?)

    Provisional solution is to place one or more zeros in front of your folder names, that way they should always appear on top in their alphabetical order.

  • Is is possible to have the images as thumbnails and make it so you can click on them for a larger view and then click them again to have it go back to the original size? In an interactive pdf?

    I am designing an interactive catalog in a pdf. Is it possible to have the images as a thumbnail and then click them to enlarge the image and then click again to make them go back to the original size?
    Thank you in advance!
    Stephanie

    It can be done with Show/Hide buttons:
    Here's a button created from a small version of the image (notice that it's selected in the image below):
    The small button has a Show/Hide Buttons and Forms action. It's action is to make the Larger Image visible (eyeball turned on) with the small image hidden (eyeball turned off).
    The large image is also turned into a button (shown below):
    Notice the checkbox "Hidden Until Triggered". The large button is hidden until it's triggered by the small button. Clicking on the large image also causes a Show/Hide action which shows the Small button and hides the large button.

  • Is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during voice call?

    When answering and making voice calls, is it possible to have the loudspeaker activate automatically during the voice call? Is there any settings on the device which can be changed for this to happen?

    Thanks cor-el! I had tried that out, but was turned off by the different workflow (can't click Tab to select the address suggestions) and assumed by the look that I couldn't use my Smart Keywords for searches.
    In fact, the workflow isn't that much bulkier and the Location Bar is fully functional:
    * ''for a search: Ctrl+L, (Smart Keyword +) [search terms], Enter''
    * ''for a suggested address: Ctrl+L, Down, Enter, Enter''
    Still, it would be nice in future versions if:
    # the Location Bar could automatically open when opening a (blank) new tab (just as the cursor automatically goes to the Location Bar when a new tab is opened with the Navigation Toolbar showing) to avoid the Ctrl+L step of the workflow
    # the Tab, Enter workflow could be enabled for selecting address suggestions in the pop-up Location Bar
    Or (most simply in my mind):
    if '''the Navigation Toolbar could be set to show when a (blank) new tab is opened and disappear once an address/search is selected'''.

  • Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?

    Is it possible to have the crop marks where you want when making a PDF?
    So if I have an Indesign document 84x55 with a 3mm bleed but I want a PDF from that document to crop at 85x55 (adding .5mm to the left and right of the PDF), the crop marks are offset by 3mm but I want the left and right crop to be .5mm out into the bleed and not at the document edge.
    Resizing the Indesign file is ruled out for the moment.
    Thanks, Tim

    The automatic crop marks will always indicate the trim size of the document as defined in Document Setup, so the simple answer is no. You will need to draw custom crop marks in the slug area. You can set the slug area my clicking More Options in Document Setup.
    This is a highly unusual request. The purpose of crop marks is to indicate the one and only trim area for the page. Why do you want crop marks that don’t match the document size?

    Is is possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up, and not go dark, while I am charging my iPhone 4S?  I would like to turn off the sounds and vibrate but still be able to see the clock and see if any new messages come in.
    Also, is there a setting or an app that will turn off all my sounds and vibrate at a given time, say 10pm and then turn it back on at 7am?

    No and no.

    when it will be possible to have the armenian keyboard on the iPad iOS6?

    Hey Mantas,
    Do not expect that feature any time soon. I do not even see that being a feature this year.
    Considering all that is going on and required to be finished and sorted a lot more is/will need to be done.
    In terms of what you can do I have done things like used the refer a friend form which you can style and use that to send emails out to the needed people. I have submitted multiple web forms with ajax etc as well.
    You have the custom fields for the people and emails (if not you can add them) and you can use those to send emails off to people, you just do not have a workflow so your not pestered with it but the notification message is the one that goes out and can have a template applied.
    So there is a number of things you can do to get that going along those lines. I have done a few variations of this on different sites.
    Warning note though - Ajax submission for custom web forms has a total character limit (all fields) of 1024 characters, which is not a lot.

  • Is it possible to have the background colour of a field change based on the entry?

    I previously obtained help from a user here to create a script that autopopulates a field based on options selected in two sets of radio buttons:
    var consequence = this.getField("Consequence").valueAsString; 
    var likelihood = this.getField("Likelihood").valueAsString; 
    if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low"; 
    else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
    else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Low";
    else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Low";
    else if (consequence=="Insignificant" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Moderate"; 
    else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low"; 
    else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Low";
    else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "Moderate";
    else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Moderate";
    else if (consequence=="Minor" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "High"; 
    else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low"; 
    else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
    else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";

    else if (consequence=="Moderate" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Critical"; 
    else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Rare") event.value = "Low"; 
    else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Unlikely") event.value = "Moderate";
    else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Moderate") event.value = "High";
    else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Likely") event.value = "Critical";
    else if (consequence=="Major" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";

    else if (consequence=="Catastrophic" && likelihood=="Almost Certain") event.value = "Extreme";
    // etc. 
    else event.value = ""; 
    I'm wondering if its possible to have the colour of the field that uses the above script, change based on the entry. E.g. If the answer is Low; make the background colour Green; if its Moderate, make it orange etc.?
    I know its a big ask but thought I would check.
    Thanks in advance.

    One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

    is it possible to have the new podcast down load to the bottom of the list so i can hear them in order. instead of flipping back and fort?

    Yes. What I did was create a smart playlist for "Genre=Podcast" and "Plays=0" (don't use Media Type, then it won't syc). Order the playlist by the date of the podcast, and make sure your podcasts are set to skip when shuffle. Works like a charm.
