Using Navigon / GPS with 3GS

Dear all,
I am using Navigon Select from T-Mobile with my Iphone 3GS for navigation.
There is one big problem. 90 % of time I have no GPS-Signal. A friend has the 3GS too, with the same software and there it works perfect.
Reseting the Iphone and installing the software again did not help anyway.
What can I do that it works? Could it be, that the GPS-Chip is broken? I dont think so because sometimes (10 % of time) it works great.
Thanks for your help!

Not at this time, possibly in the next few months.

  • Anyone Using Navigon GPS found a Good Window Mount?

    I think I've decided on Navigon rather than TomTom, but I have not as yet found a window mount, other than TomTom's, that has a built in GPS booster, can charge the iPhone, and route voice prompts through your stereo speakers.
    Anyone using Navigon...Have you found a good window mount with the features as noted above? Apple Canada does not stock the TomTom mount. :o(
    Thank you for your help.

    You can get the TomTom car kit from the TomTom store when it's available: http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=1019&Lid=4&Category=2
    You can also use the Magellan Premium car kit when it's available: http://www.magellangps.com/iphone/iphoneappcarkit.asp

  • Use N97 GPS with Laptop?

    Now I've finally got my maps sorted on the N97, I was wondering if it is possible to connect the N97 to my laptop somehow through the PC suite, and use the phone as a receiver for autoroute applications and whatnot?
    Adam.

    I dont think so, but the PC routing for the Ovi Maps is via maps.ovi.com through your Ovi account. It does not need the phone to be connected to the PC.

  • GPS problem with 3GS

    Dont know what's wrong with my GPS service. I can use the "map" app. But when i use "Navigon", it shows that "no GPS service found". I used Navigon before, and it worked perfectly. My friend also has 3GS and the same app. No any GPS problem. I tried to download and install again, but it still doesnt work. Also tried restarting iphone. >.<
    Can someone help me? Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    Apple announced no such problem because there was and is no such problem. This would mean every single 3GS has a GPS problem or failure. Hogwash.
    The GPS receiver on your 3GS may have a problem. Hardware can and does fail.

  • No or bad Bluetooth and GPS with my iPhone 3GS.

    Hi all,
    I have serious Problems using either GPS and Bluetooth with my iPhone 3GS. First I recognized that my Bluetooth headset was not working as before. For example the connection is dropped quite often and The quality is really bad.
    Second I found that the GPS signal is such Bad that no APP like runkeeper or Nike+ can work with it.
    Strange is that everything is working well after a reset to factory defaults using iTunes. But both BT and GPS are only working As designed for about 12 to 18 houers. After that timeframe The Device has to Be reseted with iTunes again :-(
    Snce everything was working fine a few weeks ago, I guess it has to do somezhing with the latest firmeware.
    BTW: The headset IS working fine with other devices and the googlemaps app, included in the iOS is showing a GPS signal (20 to 50 m radius)
    Any help is welcome. Please respond to [email protected], thanks!

  • How do i set up my pre owned iphone 4 with my giffgaff sim card that was used in my iphone 3gs

    how do i set up my pre owned iphone 4 with my giffgaff sim card that i have been using in my iphone 3gs
    My 3Gs is on its last legs.... I've just bought a second hand iphone 4 which is unlocked......I put my giffgaff sim card in the new phone and it says activation required ......then it asks me for a passcode???  PLEASE HELP!!!! I have no idea what to do xx

    You need to connect the phone to iTunes and then try activating it from there and restoring it as new.
    If you have further problems and especially as the iPhone you have bought is second hand, it could be that it is not unlocked.  Are you sure that it is?  If not, then you'll need to speak to the person that you purchased it from.

    There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
    They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
    or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
    Those iPhones are NOT locked
    Where did you get your iPhone

  • How to use GPS with n73?

    hihi, just bought n73 couple days ago, i am new to this cellphone thing. can any1 tell me how can i have gps with my n73. like procedures, accessories and softwares i need to get it to work. is there a step by step guide.

    I dont think it needs A-GPS with an external GPS receiver because it gets a lock so easily. I started mine from cold this morning (ie from off not standby) and had a lock in about 20sec. From standby I usually get a lock in 10-15 sec.
    I was just about to buy an N95 when the new ones were announced so I'm holding off but I always thought I would more often than not use the LD-3W with the N95 while driving anyway. I think you can do that. No loss because I'll give the N80 to the boss (wife) anyway.

  • Using an external GPS with an iPhone 4S

    For improved accuracy, I want to use an external GPS with my iPhone 4S. I have purchases a Dual XGPS150A Bluetooth GPS receiver and successfully paired it with the iPhone. Dual's "GPS Status Tool" app reports the GPS data from the device just fine. So now I want to get other apps like MotionX to use the GPS data from the XGPS150A in preference to the iPhone's own GPS.
    Dual's technical support assures me this can only be done by putting the iPhone in Airplane Mode then re-enabling Bluetooth. Well that's a showstopper. However, in another post here, I found this statement from BrettAtBadElph: "As long as you are using an Apple-approved external GPS accessory like the Bad Elf, XGPS150, or GNS, you don't have to worry about configuring the GPS source being used. The iOS device will pick the source with the best accuracy, and shut down the internal receiver to save power."
    Is BrettAtBadElph correct? If so, can anyone point me to some documentation?

    I've received no responses, nor have I found any difinitive info elsewhere. But I can say that testing this weekend has made it clear that that BradAtBadElph is correct -- MotionX is clearly using the XGPS150A GPS data in favor of the iPhone's native GPS.
    Funny aside: Dual's GPS Status Tool app is fairly weak -- it cannot dissplay any GPS data if another GPS-consuming app like MotionX or Waze is in memory.

  • Using TomTom GPS unit with Leopard - connectivity issue

    I am using a TomTom One 3rd Edition (the newest) and all the documentation from Tomtom indicates that it should be fully compatible with my Mac, but on connecting the GPS with the USB, I invariably get a spinning ball of death, which then requires a forced quit of the Tomtom HOME software.
    I can't find any information about this issue on these boards, or on the wider internet. The GPS works fine, but without being able to hook it into my Mac, I can't d/l any map updates, which will definitely be a problem...

    I assume TomTom Home is a program that is to run on the Mac? If so, is there an update?
    You might want to sign up at TomTom for support. Their TomTom on palm support was superb, but I can't say much about the support for their own models. But it might be the best way to solve this.
    Sorry I can't help more.

  • Map to use with GPS with out internet

    I am on Holiday and would like to use my 110W with a map and the built in GPS. Is there a map I can download to the drive and the use the built in GPS to navigate? I have Google Earth now but that requires a internet connection to work. The map would have to be of Israel. Any ideals?
    Thanks Furman

    Tech support advised me that this will not work. Time Machine can not backup to an shared network drive unless unless it is connected to Time Capsule. No doubt this is a marketing strategy and not a design flaw.

  • Can the Ipod 4th and 5th generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Can the Ipod 4th and 5th Generation be used as GPS? With the app Waze and under Wifi?

    Mini-education...
    GPS signals are separate from and completely unrelated to both the Internet and the cellular telephone network.  GPS signals come directly from the GPS satellites.  They provide signals that allow GPS receivers to calculate latitude and longitude information.  Navigation software then takes that latitude/longitude info and converts it to land mass, roads, bridges, highways, buildings, etc.
    Most navigation software stores the maps right in the iPad/iPod/iPhone but a disadvantage is that the maps must be periodically updated (perhaps once every two years).  The Internet is not required to use the system but it is required to update the maps.
    Some navigation software gets the maps from the Internet and requires an Internet connection to function but an advantage is that the maps are always up-to-date.
    The WiFi+3G/4G iPad and the iPhone both have a GPS receiver.  The WiFi-only iPad and the iPod do not and these devices require an accessory.
