Recommendations for Bluetooth GPS for N95

Has anyone got any recommendations for a Bluetooth GPS receiver (to improve the dire performance of the inbuilt one) available in UK?

I bought the Nokia N95 8GB for its 'all in one device 'convenience.
I bought an external Bluetooth GPS, not because the inernal was no good, or not accurate enough but because I did not want to destroy it with vibration and rain, strapped to the handlebars of my Yamaha XT225
I want to create tracks (kml?)that map out the roads, lanes and footpaths of Cebu, Philippines using my Motorbike, in places the car could not go.
I decided on the Wintec G-Rays2 (WBT-201). This is more than just a Bluetooth GPS, as it has a 'logger' function also (collecting up to 131,072 waypoints). It is also much quicker at acquisition than the internal GPS (34 seconds or if data is still in memory 4-33 sec).
Even in a car, the WBT-201 G-Rays2 unit, can be positioned on the dash, whilst from anywhere in the car, the N95 receives the NMEA0183 format data stream giving position, speed, altitude and time, together with estimated error and satellite status.
'Sports Tracker' works very well with this for receiving the data stream 'live'. Once 'captured' it has many 'export' formats of the captured information. Test 'Tracks' of the same 'Route' using the internal GPS and another time the WBT-201, show the external unit to be more accurate. Having said that, the internal GPS is actually pretty good at capturing the same track.
The only real 'negative' of the WBT-201, is the 'TMXTool' software (for configuring the settings, on the go, rather than connected to a PC), is for PPC, and not S60. However the 'TimeMachineX' software is OK for 'Windows' use.

  • I need to buy a Aeronautical bluetooth GPS for IPAD 2, Does somebody have a recomendation ?

    I have a GPS BT-338 but it´s doesn´t work with my IPAD2, appearently because only selected Bluetooth GPS are available to work with Apple technology.
    I will use my IPAD 2 with Jeppesen Charts for help IFR flights in my Cessna 205.
    Are there some GPS specially recommended ?

  • Recommendations for a bluetooth mouse?

    Hello,
    I've been looking for a Bluetooth mouse for a few weeks now to go along with my Macbook and after coming on here and reading some of the troubles that come along with them, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I've never used an Apple mouse before, never really understood how the one click deal without the "right-click" worked, so i've been looking at other brands mostly. Would you even recommend the Bluetooth mice as opposed to a wireless one with a USB connector? Thanks!

    I have the original wireless mouse (one "button") and a Logitech MX 1000 which is not Bluetooth but uses it's own wireless connection to a USB base station. The separate base station probably leaves this out of what you would be interested in for a laptop. However, my comments:
    Both Mice work reliably and are accurate pointing devices. The original mouse uses the red laser. The Logitech mouse uses an infrared laser so its working is not obvious from the light of the mouse, although there is a combination activity/battery level LED that let's you know its working.
    The Apple mouse is small, about the size of a bar of soap. The Logitech is a large lumpy affair that is molded to the shape of your right hand and fills it up. Some hate the small size of the Apple mouse. Some hate the large size of the Logitech mouse.
    The apple mouse has one "button" (no discernable button, but you push on it and it clicks). The Logitech mouse has two buttons on top, a rocker button (3 switches) under the thumb, a scroll wheel, and a 4 way button run around the scroll where for a whopping 9 buttons plus wheel up/down/button of control.
    The Apple mouse runs 2 to 3 months before needing to swap its 2 AA batteries. The Logitech mouse recharges itself in its cradle, which it needs about every 2 or 3 weeks depending on use.
    My opinion is that mouse choices are very personal things. Some would pick solely on size/confort. Both are reliable. For gaming one-button mouse doesn't cut it, or leaves you at a severe disadvantage depending on the game. The infrared mice are more accurate based on product specs. The Apple mouse is an elegant lump of plastic sitting on your desk. The Logitech mouse is a big lump of Borg technology looking like a kid's toy sitting on your desk.
    Hope that helps.

  • Recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphone

    Hello. Does anyone have recommendations for over the ear bluetooth headphones to be used for my Mac Pro? Thanks!

    I recently got a set of Insignia NS-BTHDP I am quite happy with. They synced up no problem with the internal bluetooth and work nicely. I had an older set (Jensen WBT212) that didn't work as well but were functional that these replaced.

  • Bluetooth GPS receivers for MBP??

    Has anyone tried using any BT GPS receivers for navigation program?
    Here's a find that i was curious about if it would work on a MBP notebook.
    http://www.freedominput.com/site/index.php?Itemid=81&id=96&option=com_content&ta sk=view
    I assumed that since it's "BLUETOOTH", it should be able to work....but i understand that NOT all bluetooth work with bluetooth devices..... isn't that stupid? haha.....And you would think that all bluetooth devices would be made the same.....
    any thoughts/comments on Bluetooth GPS devices working with MBP notebooks???
    Feel free to comment

    Ummmm hello? Guess my question isn't good enough to be answered? Or yall people just don't know?

  • Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone?

    I see a lot of bad experiences, & not too many good ones.
    Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I just need one that works, with very little features (ie: redial button on headset).

    I've actually posted another thread, and I don't mean to take over the original members post, but I'm hoping this will help others who may be having the same problems. Thanks to all of you who have posted your results with the various headsets!
    I am now on my third iPhone 3G in under six months. The first one would drop calls when the corded Apple headset was plugged in during the call, and the second would cause the caller on the other end to hear an echo when I used the Apple headset. Plus, it did not respond well at all to Bluetooth headsets. Tons of static, call echoes, and noise cancellation not working.
    My experience with the Jawbone 2 has been disappointing. I have heard way too many testimonials of satisfied iPhone users who love the JB2, so I'm beginning to think it's just me. I went through FOUR Jawbone 2 devices in under a month, all because of poor sound quality, and the Noise Assassin not working properly.
    The white rubber tip sat very well against my cheek, and the default medium earpiece fit perfectly in my ear and was very comfortable to wear. Everything seemed to be in order, but the same problems would arise over and over again. I would get poor sound quality on both ends of the call, and people could hear the tv or the radio playing in the background on my end.
    Maybe the structure of my head isn't suited for the JB2, but I have a very normally proportioned head. I refuse to believe it's the device——It has been rated highly by too many people to be the issue. I've all but given up on it, regrettably.
    The Plantronics Discovery 665 I tested had issues with static. I would hear it on my end, even thought the phone was no more than two feet away.
    I'll give the Plantronics 925 a try, as well as the Blue Ant V1. We'll see...

  • Recommendations for Bluetooth headphones?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good set of Bluetooth stereo headphones?  I am looking mainly to listen to music and watch videos but would make an occasional call with them. I purchased the Plantronics backbeat and while the sound quality is fine they just don't get loud enough. I have read similar complaints about the Jaybird freedom.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    yup.. this was added to Leopard 10.5... 10.5 is REALLY flaky though (all around, not bluetoothwise)... 10.5.2 is what you need.
    but with 10.5.2 installed i use the Motorola MOTOROKR™ S9 with a Belkin USB bluetooth adapter (class 1 so get 300 ft range)... works really well... good for exercise 'cause they are light and they stay in your ears securely and can take sweat etc and they are sound isolating and have two sizes of in ear thingies for different sized ears.
    plus have Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). AVRCP lets you control iTunes and volume from the head phones... back, forward, play, pause, volume up and down.. they are really cool and work perfectly.

  • Recommendations for keyboard for Mini

    I want like to know what brand and inexpensive bluetooth keyboard with 10key would be recommended for my 2011 Mac Mini.

    I have this problem as well, using an ipad mini retina with a Zagg Folio keyboard.
    However, it only occurs when the ipad falls asleep by itself. 
    If I close the lid of the keyboard, thus causing the ipad to fall asleep, then open the lid, then push a few keys: the bluetooth connection is back up.
    So a 'workaround'  for me at least is to always close the lid when I stop typing for a while.
    I'm using the ipad mini retina with IOS 8.02,   so this problem hasn't been fixed yet.

  • Route 66 for N95

    Hello,
    Does anybody know where I can download an version of route 66 for my Nokia N95, I want navigation with voice speaking.
    Thanks in regard

    Hi marcmarc
    You can purchase Route66 Mobile 7 for Symbian S60 v2/3 here:
    http://www.66.com/route66/products.php?cid=UK&sec=​13&ssec=1&prodid=1747
    If you want to use internal GPS on N95 instead of external then you may need update if version not v7.3.545 from here:
    http://www.66.com/route66/support.php?cid=UK&sec=1​&ssec=4
    Current Maps = v1.2 wk37 b05
    If you don't have a cheap data plan then perhaps there is more incentive to go for Route 66.
    I have to say in the UK despite requiring an external BT GPS receiver, I prefer the TomTom Navigator 6 mapping.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • AGPS for N95 - alternatives to download via GPRS?

    I am running Garmin Mobile XT on my N95. It's cool. I have the following questions.
    1. For Assisted GPS, what is the Positioning Server? Is it supl.nokia.com?
    2. For Access point, I am given only a list of GPRS connections. Is there any way I can add my WiFi connection?
    3. The amount is small, but with AGPS enabled, each time I turn on GPS, it incurs data of 1KB sent and 4KB received. I read that for other devices using AGPS or similar solutions, you can download the AGPS data using your internet connection. How do I do this for the N95?
    4. How does the AGPS for N95 actually work? Does it download a set of data everytime you turn on GPS or every x number of days? If it is the latter, then I can simply enable AGPS every x number of days and disable AGPS in the interim.

    Thanks for the explanation. If the N95 AGPS merely works in the way you have explained (i.e. AGPS just uses a distant server to do the number crunching much faster after the various satellites have been located by the internal GPS receiver), then the following conclusions can be drawn:
    1. It will be activated everytime you turn on GPS and not once every x days (seems to be the case)
    2. The amouht of data transmitted will be the same or similar every time (seems to be the case)
    3. It will not be possible to download the AGPS data via other means beforehand.
    4. Since AGPS works only AFTER the device has located the various satellites, it doesn't really help in satellite acquisition although it helps in the calculation thereafter. This means any increase in speed is marginal since I don't think it takes too long to calculate without AGPS?
    I had read that in some forms of AGPS, it downloads orbital data of the satellites to enable the device to achieve a lock much faster. That is why it is possible to download the data beforehand via internet and other means, and that the device needs this updated information only once every few days and not everytime you turn on GPS.

  • Recommendations for a new monitor?

    Greetings,
    I'm looking for a new monitor for my Powermac G4 450 MHz AGP (sawtooth).
    I'm currently using a Formac Gallery 1740 after 6 years it's starting to faded out on me.
    I'd really appreciate any suggestion or Recommendations for a new one.

    I'm using a 17" LCD, Acer model AL1706 on my G4 400MHz AGP. Was plug 'n play and has been flawless over the years. I'm sure the current model numbers are different.

  • Need a printer recommendation for a small office

    hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
    We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
    Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
    Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
    Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

  • Recommendation for maintaining pricing in CRM when R/3 is also in landscape

    Hi,
    in out context we have already SAP R/3 in the landscape, all the pricing in done in R/3. lot of custom pricing routines are also written in r/3.
    now we in the process of implementing CRM and plan to do Quotations in CRM and replicate in SAP R/3 . what is the recommendation for such a scenario.
    do we replicate all pricing conditions/procedures in CRM? do we need to re-do all procedures in IPC?
    can we re-determine pricing in R/3 so that we can avoid such work in CRM? we are using configurable products in R/3.
    please share your thoughts/best practices and any document will be of help.
    thanks
    RH

    Hi Swaroop,
               The Assignment of Buisness Partner classification from CRM to R3 is purely based on Classification
    so your initial Entry
    I chose B as classification & Z001 as an account group which is a copy of 0001. System takes it.
    was taken by the system
    now when you tried to make another Entry by the same Classification
    chose B again & this time Z002 acc gp (copy of 0002), and system does not allow?
    it checks for the Existing Classification and so does not allow the same
    Delete the Previous Entry and then Try Entering the New Entry
    The System shall Take it
    Hope it Answered your Queries...
    Revert Back for any Doubts..
    Also Chk the Link for details:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/04/4d9ac77b2b11d3b52f006094b9114a/content.htm

  • Any recommendations for a recovery software for my lost photos on my external drive?

    Would like recommendations for a reputable recovery software for my lost photos from my external drive that I used with my MacBook Pro.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
