How often do you use GPS?
The first Fix can take up to 45 minutes if you don't have or use A-GPS.
Try to leave the phone somewhere outside and wait for connection or buy an external BT GPS receiver which usually connects in a few seconds.
Why don't you as suggested just download the map data to your SD card? It is anyway for free.
Google Maps normally tries to use network positioning, which also works for Maps. Please check your setting in the GPS tab. If you need help please reply ;-)

Nokia 6110 and GPS function

I am new to the concept of GPS, and i assumed when i bought this phone that using the GPS was as simple as turning it on and requesting the location you want.
How do I get the GPS to work? I go into the GPS menu and it starts "Getting position...", but i wait and nothing happens. It can never find my position. And I live in Sydney, so it cant be bad reception. Are there any settings I need to instal or download?
Also, what is the Route 66 CD for? I tried to use that and it couldnt detect my phone?

first of all, lets begin with the basics. GPS is a signal that is send by many satellites to locate you. so if you are in a building, you will probably not get any satellite signal. so go outside and wait a few minutes. usually satellites send their position-signal each 30seconds to a few minutes, and your mobile phone has to calculate its place after it got those signals. the update about your position is then easier, it doesnt take 30 seconds to update your position, but it is contionuously.
sometimes it may be possible, that you got problems in cities with huge skyscrapers, that you dont get a signal or just sometimes in those places. that is normal (also no fault of the nokia 6110 navigator). the satellite signals simply dont get through the skyscrapers (you need a last 3 satellites with a good signal to get your GPS working).
the nokia 6110 navigator therefore got A-GPS (that you can also disable). Advantages: the location of yor place is easier and much faster as it gets the information at the beginning from the mobile phone antennas. however it needs therefore a short GPRS-connection (about 5 kb transfer), that might cost depending on your mobile phone provider.
so if you want to try that, enable it in your mobile phone settings (read the manual therefore, network based location method!), and enable it in nokia navigator-program. or disable it in both.
second, about your other problem. route 66 sync software detects your mobile phone, if you use the nokia usb cable provided with the mobile phone (even if other cables also fit, it doesnt work). also you have to install nokia pc suite and isntall the needed usb drivers. and last of all, you have to set your mobile phone to data transfer mode, and not to pc sync mode, to connect it in route 66 sync software!

Nokia N95 and OS X 10.3.9

I'm currently running 10.3.9 and consequently iSync 1.5
I have just got myself a new Nokia N95 and did a bit of searching for a phone that would sync with a Mac, the N95 had support from Nokia - all good. However, I'm an idiot and didn't check which version of OSX you needed to use the Nokia plugin. It needs iSync v2 and consequently I can't even get my computer to recognise the existence of my phone in any form let alone sync.
I'd really like to be able to sync the phonebook and more importantly calender, and also to use the USB cable to import photos from the phone to computer and to put files from the computer onto the phone. I was hoping that the laptop would at least see the memory card as an external devise and be able to transfer on and off it but apparently not.
Is there any software out there that can get an iBook running 10.3.9 to sync with an N95 at all? I wouldn't even mind paying a small amout for the new version of iSync but it looks like you have to spend $129 to upgrade to Tiger which I really don't want to do when Leopard will be coming out soon and I'm considering an upgrade or new machine then.
Help? Please?

Until you either obtain Mac OS X 10.4.9 at a minimum, or Mac OS X 10.5 when it ships soon, you are stuck.
A Nokia N95 is not natively supported by iSync, and requires a plugin which itself requires iSync 2.4 Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later. The architecture in prior versions of iSync 2 and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.8 is inadequate to support current plugins, and does not exist at all in iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X releases 10.0 through 10.3.9. There is no workaround to this situation.
You can access the memory card and transfer media files bidirectionally using Nokia Multimedia Transfer beta release 1.1, but it too requires Max OS X 10.4.9, iTunes 7 and iPhoto 6 or later releases of both the OS and these applications.

GPS tracker for nokia n86

Hi there I wonder if anyone can give me tips for a GPS tracker for my Nokia n86. I have searched the forum, but found only online gps trackers, and that is way to expensive for me to stay on my 3G line to track my routes. I only want to start a program, that log my routes and save my logs to for example a KML file, or similar. On my motorcycle i use TOMTOM gps with tripmaster log. Is there something like that to my Nokia also? (for hiking, and bicycling trips)

thanks, will try some of them out. I also just installed http://code.google.com/p/ttgpslogger/ Looks really good. But unsure if i can run this in offline mode, not using the assisted GPS. If anyone has some info about the TTgpslogger, please advice.

GPS tracking way off in iOS4 and/or iPhone4?

Hi
Have any of you guys noticed problems with tracking using iPhone4 and/or the new iOS? Over the last couple of weeks I have had a lot of problems when I'm tracking my hikes - especially the altitude is waaaaaay off. Different GPS tracking programs (e.g. Gaia, MotionX, Accuterra) would show me as being at, say, 2400ft, whereas the correct altitude would be 3200ft. After a restart of the phone or turning on/off airplane mode, the altitude would now correctly show 3200ft. It appeared that the programs were unable to update the altitude correctly both as I was walking up the mountain and down. This is not specific to a particular GPS tracking program, as opening up different programs and checking the altitude would show almost the same (and wrong) altitude as other programs.
Also, I recorded A LOT of spurious waypoints on my way. I have now tried this on 4 different mountains and the problem persists. I'm just wondering whether this is a general problem or a problem with the GPS software? Have a look at an example trip with problems here (you may need to zoom in):
http://www.everytrail.com/viewtrip.php?tripid=807646
And nope - I wasn't walking around in circles.....
Others?

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.

View GPS tracks in Nokia Maps

Is there a possibility to view GPS tracks in Nokia Maps (1.2), e.g. if the track is in gpx or kml format? I tried several converters but the lmx file that I get only gives me waymarks but no routes or tracks. That's ok for short tracks but problematic for long tracks with a lot of waymarks. Is there any other way to deal with this?

I just purchased my Ipad 2 64g. the main reason i purchased was to use in my airplane for live gps tracking. i have downloaded the software with the moving map and the gps will not connect in the air. it works periodically while standing outside. Any sug?

I just purchased my Ipad 2 64g. The main reason I purchased was to use the gps moving map feature. I have the paid AP but the gps does not work. Do I need an auxiliarry GPS?

Is it just the wireless 64g, or the one with 3G? If just wireless, you purchased the wrong one. Also, if you just wanted GPS tracking, a GPS would have been a cheaper solution, no monthly charges.

Nokia 6110 Navigator - software update to be suppo...

Hello.
I have a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
Is the operating system to be supported by the software update system at any time soon?
Do any people knows when this phone will be commercially available?
Thanks!

Just one question for you guys, why do you prefer 6110 over N95?
N95 has a better camera, and it has WiFi as well. All at a considerably higher price (+ $300).
Apart from that, 6110 offers mostly the same features. The battery lasts longer, and the use of GPS is much faster. No extra costs for downloading of maps or subscription for the use of GPS.
Try to check out the difference between 6110 which uses Route 66 maps, and N95 which uses Nokia Maps.
I also highly recommend you to read phone reviews on the internet, e.g. by entering "Nokia N95"+review (or test) in a search engine.

Share online 3.0 for Nokia 6110 Navigator

Is there a possibility to get Share online 3.0 (or older verisons for nokia 6110 Navigator)
Thanks in advance,
Mokic

Try to download a version for another model with a similar operating system (like the N95) and see if it installs.
Get it here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4388352
If it doesn't install then it is not compatible with your model. This is because it's a feature designed for N series phones.

Using podcasts on Nokia 6110 Navigator

Hi, Im interested in listening to podcasts on my 6110 Navigator, I've found the Podcasting software at the blog but it only seems to be able to update directly over the internet, is there any way to set up my PC so that I can update the podcasts on my phone automatically via bluetooth or USB cable?
I think the podcasting software is designed for people with unlimited data plans or phones with wifi built in, but I just thought I'd check.
Thanks for any help offered in advance.
Richard.

Very compatible Bluetooth Dongle for Nokia 6110 Na...

I was having a lot of problems connecting to my PC using my existing Belkin Bluetooth Dongle. After a lot of searching and reviews I bought the D-Link DBT-122 and wish to point out that this works like a dream with the above phone and apparently all others using the same software. Also I noticed during installation some software was installed on the phone itself and now the volume in my car using the Nokia Bluetooth Handsfree has increased tremendously. I had almost give up trying to use Bluetooth on this phone but what a pleasant change the Dlink has been. Highly recommeded for the Nokia 6110 or others running the same software.

I bought a Belkin Bluetooth dongle for my 6120c.
But when the program starts It gives the Windows 'Blue Screen' and the computer restarts.
Since then i have had no idea on what dongle to buy.
Are you running Vista?

Nokia 6110 Navigator - Search Landmarks

Hi,
I am really puzzled by this simple yet complex problem.
When I launch the "Landmark" application on it's own on my phone, I have about 20+ landmarks which I've stored there. On the same screen at the bottom, the cursor is in the search window. So what I do is to press say "M" and logically it should filter all my landmarks starting with "M". However, it always display no results.
Now comes the strange part. when I launch the Navigator system and I chose a landmark to navigate to, similar screen appears and pressing "M" will filter out all my landmarks starting with M... correctly.
Could someone help to confirm this is a software bug or am I doing something wrong here.
Thanks
/alan

I bought a Nokia 6110 Navigator a month ago. I was waiting for this phone for more than six month in South Africa. A sales rep in Vodacom told that there was software problem that was cause of the delay.
I upgraded all the feature of the phone using Nokia PC Suite. The phone has now the Software Version04.22. The new phone works well. I went through the guidebook tested everything is perfect.
When come to the Navigation segment, I have a small conflict. I tested Navigation by walking and driving to destination all worked well.
The problem I found when tries to use the ‘Landmark’ in the ‘Application’ section.
Most of the Landmarks are saved as GPS Position using the Navigation button. These saved positions are reflected inside the Navigation Option of Search (1) and in ‘My landmarks’. I do not have any problem by using the ’My landmarks’ to plan the trip or go to destination or see them in the map.
The same Landmarks are also routinely reflected in the ‘Application’ section of ‘Landmark’. By using, the option when I try to open the destinations or ‘show on Map’ or ‘show route’ the cursor always points the middle of the LCD screen and there is a Permanent Red Notice board Pin pointing the same position for all the landmarks.
Could somebody help me to fix the problem, or if it the software problem and return the phone to Vodacom to fix it.
Is that the similar to the software problem happened in U.K and results end by recalling 3000 phones by Nokia?
“A Vodafone technician revealed: “We received lots of calls about this complaint. Customers are telling us once a map of the UK and Ireland loads a padlock appears on the screen and the handset freezes. We’re now in the process of replacing the handsets”

Nokia 6110 Navigator 5.11 Buglist

Nokia, after a year of no support for the Nokia 6110 Navigator despite many bugs, please readd firmware-update-support in Nokia software updater, and fix those bugs remaining in the firmware 5.11 installed by most Nokia service centers since July 2008:
1- when alarm is set to workdays "monday-to-friday" (or whatever 5 day-period) the date on the phone doesn't change on saturday night. On sundays it still shows saturday although the time is correct, and the alarm doesn't work till the date is reset and then everything goes normal till the next sunday when the problem happens again.
2- No matter if you use the original Nokia Sound recorder or third party software, all the recordings have a loud crack sound in the beginning.
3-Volume +/- does not function while playing games.
4- Dual line 32kb sim cards fail to switch to the second line and resets the phone when switched to the second line.
5-Line 1 ringtone and Line 2 ringtone options in profiles disappear for no reason although using a dual line.
6-Deleted numbers in Logs->Recent Calls-> missed/received/dialled logs still remain in the log list view which shows coloured arrows.
7-Even if the sent message history is turned off, the numbers which were sent messages are still shown in the log list shown with arrows.
8- Numbers dialed/received calls list occasionally clears if phone turned off
9- If the phone gets connected to computer over usb cable, and used once on pc suite mode and then once in the data transfer mode, then the vibration is disabled until you reboot the phone. (Settings suggest the vibration is on, but in fact it is simply turned off)
10- On the internet bookmarks view, (accessed through the web icon) if a bookmark is deleted or moved to a different folder they are still shown in the root until the application is closed and re-opened. And if tried to open them by mistake the phone responds "it doesn' exist".
11- If you conect the phone to Nokia software updater by usb cable in pc sync mode, then connect it by data-transfer-mode, all your own created folders including moved icons will be lost and reset to default.
12-It's not possible to use voice dial with voice synthesis turned on.
13- No flash lite 3.0 support
14- If a memo is set or synchronised from outlook the memo still shows on the screen even if the date has been passed.
15- If we try to change the date of a past memo by changing both the start and end date to a future date the phone gives an odd error message that says: "Alarm time already passed" What alarm time? There's no alarm option or alarm time field in memos.
16- The phone occasionally shuts down completely (turns itself off) without any warning for some users.
17- Nokia CK 7W bluetooth carkit and other carkits from other companies (for example Funkwerk-Dabendorf Audio2000 with Bluetooth Adapter version 2) have an echo problem where the remote person hears its own voice and a terrible echo. This seems to be due to the fact, that inbuild microphone on the phone is not turned of completely.
18- While entering a new phone number after typing the number a phone type is selected such as telephone, mobile, work mobile etc.If selected the wrong type there is no way to change tis type unless the number is deleted and re-entered which is a hassle.
19- If there are more than one mobile numbers assigned for a contact as "mobile" type (like mentioned above) set default option does not work.
20- The bluetooth A2DP quality has gone worse. It is skip-happy, and degrading of audio quality is very obvious.
21- If any mp3s have embedded images in the id3 tag, which are not quite square (e.g. 194pxls by 197pxls in one of my files), the music will play, but the phone will almost totally lock up if you try to use another application, and the album art won't show at all.
22- Notes in the organiser on the phone cannot be synchronised with the PC via Nokia PC Suite(Outlook 2003).
23- Music Player on the phone finds "zero" audio files when connected to Nokia Suite via USB.
24- If a call is made while connected to a bluetooth carkit (CK 7W in my case) the latest number dialed won't appear in the logs.
25- When navigating in the standard "Nokia Navigator" Route66 application, if the display mode with all info at the bottom (the only mode that display ETA) is set the phone normally remembers this mode between sessions. When signal is lost (typically after a tunnel), the display mode is reset back to default. Please add the newest Route66 updates! As easy as that! Route66 already released 3 new official updates during this time.
26- If an internet connection is established via the browser and closed, the internet connection stays on constantly until the battery is very hot and voltage is drained only if the e-mail update (push e-mail) is set to "ON".
27-The streaming mode is problematic. An H.264 video encoded in 320x240 resolution could be watched full screen in the streaming mode in the previous firmware however the phone will freeze within 1 or 2 seconds after switching from the standard window size to full screen size after 4.22 if watched during streaming.
28- Real Player(Or music player) doesn't update the playlist unless the phone is not restarted.
29- For some of the users some videos start with the first frame and then shows a black screen for a while and then the video plays normally. (DivX Avi files?)
30- System startup dramatically slows up if using a HCSD memory card.
31- Sound cracks occur in high bit rate mp3's if using an HCSD memory card.
32- The flash provides such an artificial colour tone to the picture which makes the picture looks almost blue or green in all cases.
33- If a user decides to use an alternative navigation software he/she should be able to remap the dedicated navigator button to the executeable of the 3rd party software.
34- Sometimes Nokia Navigator-Program is unable to get a satfix, even if satellite-signal is good enough (3 satellites and more above 70% signal-strength). You have to restat the program to get a satfix. Also new Nokia Navigator/Route66-mobile8-version would fix this problem.
35- When you receive via bluetooth a file with an "unknown extension", there is no way to open the message that contains the attached file and, therefore, there is no way to save the file itself.
There are certainly more bugs, those ones are the ones found by a few customers, the most obvious ones, that keep us nagging since a year now. It seems, you are not testing your phones, as bug #1 (alarm-clock) for example is obvious and was not fixed since the release of the phone.

And I'd like to add these remaining ones from our other threads..
36- When listening to music on the handset and a call comes through, the sound switches to Mono after you hang up and the music resumes playing. And the only way to restore stereo sound is to restart the phone.
37-6110 keeps showing alot of devices in the "send to" bluetooth menu that was paired with and deleted long ago.
38-Joystick press can be used for accepting commands at all areas except for messaging. When message is ready to be sent you cannot click joystick and send message. You need to select options and send and then choose select from the menu.
