[N95] GPS Question

Hi,
I got an unlocked N95 (US), I updated to latest firmware and everything works fine with the GPS. I can lock the satellites and get an accurate position of my location.
I am planning a trip to another state and to speed up downloads I downloaded and installed Nokia Map Loader v1.1 in my PC and tried to download the new State without success. The steps I followed were:
1.- Connect the N95 via USB and select Mass Storage
2.- Run Nokia Map Loader and select the State I want to download
3.- Click download
I got the following messages:
- Verifying Mass Storage
- A downloading progress bar that fills up completely
- The Save to storage bar never moves and the window with it closes
- Verifying Mass storage message again
- Error message: Mass Storage had been disconnected, connect it and try again.
The disk never disconnects, actually I an see it all the time under My PC
I tried different states, countries with similar results.
Any idea what is happening?
Thanks

Hi seti
I don't whether this has anything to do with the fact that you are using the latest version of Maploader v1.1, but the latest version of Nokia Maps 1.1 is NOT currently available for the N95 if you check Smart2go site. It has been reported elsewhere that this is due to a problem in "licnce manager" soon to be reolved.

1) The N95 currently does NOT offer the facility to use the flash as a light for video capture.
2) I don't understand your question
3) Your GPS should work in Iran, although there may be an issue with the US (to which all GPS satellites belong to) not allowing Iran to use the satellites - not too sure about this bit.
You will need to download Iranian maps (if available) for the N95 - you can find the download page for Nokia Maps here :

Also if you follow the link below it'll give you more information on how to get your GPS working :

Nokia N95 GPS abilities

Hi all,
I have few questions about GPS using.
- Does N95 support JSR179(Location API)? If yes, did anyone try to run MIDlets with using JSR179? Does it work?
- Does N95 has intefaces to share GPS data to PC. May be the latest version of "PC suite" can collect GPS data from the device. I want to use the phone like GPS receiver for my laptop's applications.
Thanks.

Yes, it supports JSR-179. You can check it here:

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.

Tuts

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.

GPS Question [might be dumb]

Last night was the first night I used GPS on my phone, I had to pick someone up. Well I got there and couldn't figure out how to shut the thing off, it kept tracking where I was. Or as soon as you hit the home button an exit out of maps does it stop?

Geneticfusion is correct on turning it off by hitting the lower left target. But to answer your other question, it does turn off when you hit the home button to exit maps. That does not turn off the GPS chip, only the current "locking onto" your location. Under settings, you can turn off the GPS.

Totally lost about N95 GPS. Help!

Hi. I just recently bought a N95 and I know nuts about the GPS thing. When I open maps, I see this picture of a globe with a small icon of a satellite with a cross on it (I presume I am not connected to it). When i view satellite info, I am able to pick something up.
When I rotate the globe and then press the GPS pos button, it focuses on Europe which Im not at (not zoom in).
Btw, Im from Singapore and im using Starhub network.
Can anyone help me? Im totally lost.

Hi frostshardz
Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 or later software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed.
Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.
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 bars for lock-on and triangulation to work.
Once satellites are locked on you should be able to zoom into your position provided that active connection has been set to "as needed" rather than "never" in options > settings in Maps application, to allow download of sufficient map detail.

N95 GPS receiver is NOT a SIRFF quality receiver

Dear all,
I have at last decided to claim for a money back for the N95 ánd for the subscription to 3y for Nokia Maps(which i could never use, since the poor GPS receiver never gets a lock with any satellites!)
Before you ask: yes, i upgraded firmware, yes i did even have wifi turned on in an attempt to 'help' the N95 do the routing calculation, and yes I turned off any other interfering applications. And, no: the N95 never gets a fix without first making me wait over 45 minutes (by then I am usually already at my destination)
Interesting to know is that Nokia callcenter declared 'to have nothing to do with Nokia Maps Subscription', even though I subscribed becáuse I wanted to enable voice guided routing with the N95- still: if I wanted thát money back, they warned me I had to go get it at the Maps people that delivered it to us customers. So much for service. So much for Nokia!!

Dear all,
I bought the phone less than 28 days ago, but Tmobile won't refund me my money since:
a) they only do refunds within 7 days(and not 28 days)
b) they are not officially aware of 'malfunctioning GPS' and therefore deem the phone as a working phone (basically shift the problem back to Nokia as the producer and me as the consumer)
I absolutely understand that the company behind Nokia maps is NOT Nokia itself. However, it ís through Nokia's website that i was 'urged' to link up to Nokia Maps and subscribe if I wanted voice guidance (as opposed to no voice at all). So i understand the Nokia maps people have nothing to do in this: their software wórks, and THEY can't help it if the Nokia GPS doesnt perform well!!
However, I ám tricked in subscribing to Nokia Maps -by- Nokia (its website), believing (back then) that it would really help me in starting using the Navigator feature.
Had I known that the GPS receiver was of such poor quality, it goes without saying that I would have never subscribed to the 3y Nokia Maps voice navigator, let alone buy the phone N95 itself.
So, I dó think Nokia has brought the whole issue down to me, and I do think I was tricked in buying 2 products I would never have if I had known that the N95 wouldn't get to navigate in the first place.

Nokia N95 - GPS dos not work & Barcode Scan not wo...

Hi.. I have Nokia N95 (N95-1 by user manual) - device firmware soft version
11.0.026
17-04-07
RM-159
Nokia N95(05.01)
When i try use "GPS position" application or "Maps" it's dos not work. All ways i see - "no connected" in status (in my home, in street and other open places). In all times that i'am user my N95 only one time by command "Satellites State" y have screen with 2 satellite (~5second) and other time allways "No Data or No Connected Satellites".
Q: Whats the problem - it's that Qaulite(or Strong) of GPS(for that needed like it GPS)? or it's defect and GPS must work avrever (and home, and on street)
When i try use application "Barcode Reader" - it's no one times dos not readed barcode? Only try? and try, and try... all times?
Q: Why dos not work? who see worked "Barcode reader"?
Thank to ALL..
(with love from Russia)
Nokia! Take a care for me and we real say THANK YOU NOKIA and you can collect a more money

First of all , you should update to the newest firmware (v20). If you can of course, for some network branded phones update is not available yet.
As for GPS, first fix is taking a long time (5 to 10 minutes).
In v12 and above A-GPS (assisted GPS) was added to speedup the process. It's using data connection for initial lock.
And make sure you're not covering tha hash key, that's where GPS reciever is. It will get a fix, just be patient because it will take some time.
Barcode reader is not for reading normal barcodes (like on products). It's used for Nokia's mobilecodes. You can check it here

So could someone PLEASE tell me how to make this thing work....because i want that most of all...and now it's getting me mad...
P.S.I downloaded all the maps required for my country Macedonia...When i'm looking for navigation on the streets it's ok...BUT WHAT ABOUT MY CURRENT LOCATION ?!?!?!I'm not in berlin for sure
Thanks in advance

I'm reffering to v20.0.015
The traffic lights of the sattelite keep moving n' stuff... and after a long time it stays still (ie gets connected..)
Some settings I have in the Positioning are..

Nokia N95 GPS Navigation

Dear All,
I am James and recently bought a Nokia N95. It comes with GPS Navigation but not sure how it works. Looked in the user manual but still not idea of how to work it. I have played around with it and downloaded Google Maps but find it difficult to get a reception.
I want to know how to download maps onto it, what connection is needed and how it actually works?
Any ideas?
regards
James

Hi,
I'm just back from the US were i used the GPS a good bit. like most GPS's, Navigation on the N95 told me to turn right then left on on straight roads with intersections (watch out for this, always look at the map before turning as you'll see that the route line is straight on screen), sent me down bizarre side roads, never went the same route to a place as it did going back (very strange), but other that that was very handy.
The one major bug I'd like to report is in v20 of the firmware (can't say for others versions), despite disabling network communication in the settings, the phone would still startup my GPRS data pack connection while roaming. Even when I set it to use Wi-Fi, it still made a connection over GPRS. I work out it cost me about a €10 in unnecessary data charges. Easy test to see if you get the same problem: Startup Maps and say no to data usage, exit or Press Menu, Tools, Log. You should see that a Data pack connection was initiated at the same time you started the Maps App. The only way around this I found was to set the phone to offline mode. But you might as well buy a proper GPS if this is the only solution.
Good luck!
I had exactly the same problem. Once activated, network mode could not be turned off and it cost me around $50 in a day and a half.
As soon as I tried to shut it down in Maps>Options, it either shut down maps or rebooted my phone.
Keep network support off, is my recommendation.
To cure the problem, I had to reload my firmware and software...everything but settings. If you reload settings, you reload the problem.
I spend hours today doing just that. Settings are probably the least important part of my phone history so it wasn't too big of a deal and the effort was totally worth it to save me mega cash while using maps.

N95 - GPS cannot connect

Hi all,
I have just gotten my N95, but i just cannot seem to get the gps to work.
the map of denmark is in place, but the gps cannot find its position, rendering it absolutely useless!
is there anywhere i can help it along, telling it where i am or so?
has anyone had the same problem? i can get no connection to any satelites....

Hi teepee
I suggest you open GPS data application to monitor situation.
Make sure you are clear of buildings, phone with slider open at 45degrees and don't cover # key on keypad under which antenna resides.
Go to Menu > Tools > Settings > GPS data > Position > Open > Options > Satellite status > Open
You will see 5 empty rectangle outlines, you need a minimum of three solid black rectangles for triangulation, but usually get four for lock-on postion.
If you don't get any solid bars by 20 mins your GPS isn't working!

N95 GPS?

Hi all,
I have the N95 phone, but can only very rarely ever get GPS signal on it, and even then, only in wide open countryside with no trees. Does the 8gb or N96 have an upgraded GPS antenne or at least better tracking capabilities? The N95 is all but useless when compared to my old €50 Garmin Legend handheld GPS, even though the map quality is much higher.
Thanks for any input.

It is important to understand that the GPS receiver in the N95 is low powered and located under the "#" key. To enhance reception you need to have the phone slide open and angled at 45 degrees with a view of the open sky.
I wouldn't say it is the best GPS receiver but it does work and has always worked for me. However, I also have an external bluetooth which I use with my N95. It is much more sensitive and quicker. I leave it in the car but use the built in receiver when I am walking.
The N96 performs pretty much the same as the N95 except that the GPS receiver antenna is now at the top back of the phone which means I can keep the phone in my shirt pocket. I still use it with the external Bluetooth GPS receiver when in the car.

N95 GPS Licence Code???

Hi.. I just purchased GPS licence code (month) and it said that the code would be sent to be through text. After purchasing the code, i've installed the latest firmware on my N95 and when I went to the text I received from GPS, it was nothing but letters and numbers mixed, filling up whole page.
How can i retrive my 12 digit licence code?
Thank You

Not that I'm aware of, but I've never really looked.
You could email the company that licence it, openbit is it? and ask them, but because it's all automated, they may not provide it...
Whenever you need to reactivate the licence, you should only ever need to do what you've just done, it will detect your IMEI and sort it from that.
