Hi.
I have Runge K5288 mobile phone and i have problems with GPS.
Can you tell me if it has GPS for sure ?
I used Tom Tom, IGO 8, Destinator 7 but i didn't manage to find the correct port and GPS.
I used it outside for hours.
I also, used GPS Toggle programme to find the signal of GPS, with no success.
seek : 0
I am not using GPRS or WAP with Google maps.
Can you think a way to activate GPS of my mobile phones ,as i think that somehow have been disactivated ???
Thanks.

is there any navitagor that DONT use GPS or data connection (wifi/gprs/3g..)??
i just want to see the map of my city and do routes, is it possible?
thnx
Garmin XT doesn't use data connection, and you can browse the map. but you have to have the maps installed to the PDA.
I don't know of any free software that doesn't use the data connection to download maps
I have TomTom 7 and i turned off all phone and data connections and was still able to use GPS.. its becaude tomtom doesnt need to access the internet to download sny maps.. your map is on your sd card.. gps satelite is free..
try it.. it sure beats routing your trips like yahoo or google maps..
Use Google Maps.
^^Google Maps uses the Data connection..............
I use MioMap and it doesn't use the data connection...the maps are on my SD card...and I like how you can d/l each state etc individually
MS Pocket Streets.
I used to have it when I did not have Data Connection.
It has been discontinued. it came with MS Streets and trips back in 2006

most (dedicated) navigation systems can work without a gps signal or receiver.

can you elaborate a bit please??? Most navigation systems have to use either GPS, GPRS or some other form of data connection to calculate position, route, etc...
i used iGO 2006 with no gps,just maps...on magician
now i use iGO 8 on artemis,with gps
and iGO 8 on rw6828
iGO works very well even without gps

very good form of navigating when iGo doesn't know where you are
For real navigating (A->B) you have to use GPS or at least an available internet connection, to get your position.
In near future there may be location tracking with cell phone masts, but then iGo (and all other navigation software) only now where you are and not where to go
in tomtom i use advanced planning to tell it where to start and end to give me a route... i usually use it when im indoors where i dont have a gps signal...
i believe any program that has the maps built in should be able to do this..

sure... a dedicated gps system like tomtom, garmin, igo, etc has everything it needs to plan a route from point A to point B in the program itself and the maps it comes shipped with. it only uses the gps signal to make it easier for u by not having to enter a start point of a route u need to take or to find points of interest around u (restaurants, gas stations, ...) by using the location it calculates from the gps signal. all such systems are designed to work in places where there are no signals, e.g. tunnels, interior of buildings.
so, if somebody doesn't even have a gps reciever (built-in or bluetooth), hr still can use anyany of these ssytems to plan routes, find points of interests, or browse maps... but, u have to enter ur location manually everytime. and u wouldn't be able to use the turn-by-turn navigation feature that needs to know where u r to be able to tell u the next turn.
Hi folks,
I'm new to a WinMo device with build in GPS.
But does the Xperia's GPS work as a normal Navigator GPS? or is it just (simple) A-GPS?
I'm confused with this
And if this is a true gps, why can't I use Google Maps or wayfinder without Wifi or 3G connection?
I hope someone can explain this to me :-s
Thanks
X1 works as a normal GPS but he has A-GPS function too
Google maps and wayfinder are Offboard GPS. They have to download maps each time you use them
If you want to use you GPS without wifi/3G connection, you must use an Onboard GPS software like Tomtom Navigator, GarminXT, iGo, ...

Oh that's the reason
Thanks :-D
I thought you can point your location via Google Maps with A-GPS
Like on iPhone 3G ...
Anyway, was planning to install TomTom
Thanks for the explanation
Yes you can point your position via google map but if there is no map to download, it will ask for maps first and tell you it is not working.

I did that yesterday.
Via PC transfered my area into my phone.
but it keeps asking about connecting with..Something..not sure it asks for GPS or Wifi
the icons on the titlebar show if a connection is don using gprs or wifi
the manual have pictures how each connection display as icons
Somehow I can't get my GPS to work on MapKing. Almost made me wonder if X1 only had AGPS.
I just purchased my TD2 this past week, and have been trying to get the gps to work ever since but have not been successful. I tried google maps (COM 4, port 4800 up to 56700), downloaded garmin mobile xt (com 4: com 4), beeline gps (COM 4, port 4800) but none of them work. Beeline GPS does, however, find a gps signal when it searches but I don't think it's working because it doesn't display the coordinates of my location.
I also have one of the latest Radio ROMs (4.49.25.91), so I don't think that is an issue either. Please help! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Mine just worked out of the box.
Have you tried, in Google Maps, using the "Managed by Windows" option? I've never had to change the default settings in any way.
Hope this helps.
run quickGPS. It will speed up the satellite search. It comes with WM
actually, i have the same problem. Managed by windows, and AGPS updated, but i can't get my GPS to work, any comment welcome.
I have had some problems with GPS on my pure as well. I found that turning on the wifi (even if there is no hotspot) helped me out. Also sometimes wont wok unless the bluetooth is turned off. I hope that helps
thanks for all the replies... the quickgps did the trick. I needed to download some satellites... I just assumed it would work out of the box.
Thanks again, this site is great!
Check out a program called gpsgate. It will locate more satellites, and get them quick. I use Garmin xt, and it works better with the gpsgate.
had installed Sygic Mobile with Mapmyindia maps.
I have installed the software and maps, but the problem with the software is that it keeps on displaying "Waiting for valid signal" on the device and does not find any GPS sattelite. Have tried to wait for upto 1 hour but it still does not find any GPS signal.
Please note i am also using Google Maps on my mobile and it has no issues in finding the GPS satellite.
I am using Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo (i5801) mobile with Android 2.1 OS.
Mapmyindia support replied me suggesting me to change GPS hardware settings to "Autodetect" in Settings menu. Funny, because there is no GPS hardware settings that can be changed to Autodetect, in the App.
I used the sygic assistent to install the App.
I had the same thing. I reinstalled it and now it works fine.
Hi to all
I have gen1 blade with tpt for gen2. Currently it is with cyanogen-mod 7 ROM. I'm pleased with this phone but it does have one problem. GPS is not working!! To be exact device fails to "see" any satellites. With WIFI I get lock but only because of WIFI and trace of IP address. I heave used modified gps config file but that got my AGPS working, not regular GPS.
I have tried to find service manual on internet and failed....
Any ideas on how to solve this? I did check antenna connections that i could see and all seams to be fine.
No one?
I have tried Swedish snow rom but had same problem. replaced original gps.conf file;e with modified one and still had problem.
I guess u have not switched on the location services.
Go to settings location services then tick mark all and in GPS source select internal
Sent from my Blade using xda premium

AGPS works. I do get position according to WiFi but as i leave WiFi covered area I don't get tracking. No updated GPS position, according to software there is no visible satellites.
I have given up on getting this fixed. I have tried different ROMS and programs. Only when i get location from WiFi using ether Google maps or Locus I have position. Using GPS Test app i never get position. Same goes for other apps. I do have old (5 years old) BT GPS dongle and he finds position and satellites within 1minute using this mobile.
I have tried to find service manual or some sort of technical info about GPS in this mobile but found nothing.
