Playbook Magellan Compass - how to solve GPS not connecting to app

Hi
I had problems with Magellan Compass after not using it for a long time (it worked great when i first got my Playbook) and this is the advice I received from O2 Interactive (the developers)
"The GPS Sensor on the PlayBook will lose its association with the nearby satellites from inactive use. Restart the device outside, under a clear sky and wait about 5-10 minutes."
I tried this and it works a treat. By the way I did a full restart ie close down first just to be sure
So one of my favourite apps is now up and running again... I am very pleased !
Thanks O2 !

I have never been able to get Magellan to run whilst travelling. I start and then lose map location.
What level do you need to have for a map to work? Do I need to go to 'Corner'? My problem is that I wish to travel 6 months travelling Europe and and may well be going to 14 countries. I like the size of the Playbook. Using wifi out of my origianl country is inordfiantley expensive, So I would like to get it set before I go. UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Lichenstein, Luxemburg, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Italy. 'Corner' for all?
The user manual is particularly poor.
Help and information please.
Regards
Ross
Try OSMAND. It is free! The user interface is quite easy to get used to. Few words of caution;
- It is not as detailed as some other map apps, but it works. I use it in Canada; US. Used it successfully in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
- The algorithms used to calculate the routes couid use some refining. It is a bit slow to realize that you want to deviate 'from the plan' and lazy to recalculate.
The program will get you there but not always the way you think is best. As usual, it is always handy to keep a good map around.

How to solve launch_msg not connected

my powerbook g4 wont boot ;error launch_msg not connected how to solve this issue

There may be a way to start in single-user mode, enter the correct command
and then restart from there into the normal GUI. However the info in your post
suggests two different products, as PowerBookG4 cannot run Mt Lion 10.8.5...
If your computer is a MacBook, running a more recent OS X than a PPC G4
can, then your topic could be moved by a Host into the correct ASC area.

Depending on how you arrived at the message, the path should be clear.
If you have a complete or duplicate backup of your computer content, a

More information may be needed; esp. if host should relocate your post.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

How to solve unable to connect ipad issue

Has anyone been able to solve the unable to connect to network issue?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
