[Q] GPS ? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, guys
I feel stupid to ask this question but seems like I can't find anyone asking this question about gps in N10.
I know that there's one in N10, but seems like I can't use it for navigation?
I thought at least in google map, you should be able to use navigation function on your offline saved maps.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks.

You can while you have wifi connection input your destination and once it gets the driving directions you can then turn off wifi. It will retain all the information and it will continue to direct you.

[REQ] EVO 4G as a GPS Receiver

I want to use my EVO 4G as the GPS receiver to my netbook.
I have a windows 7 netbook with bluetooth.
If I can have my netbook communicate with the netbook via bluetooth for GPS signal will be the best solution. If it has to be done via USB, I can live with that as well.
thanks.
Please let me know
Bump.
Am I the only one who wants to extend the GPS capabilities on the phone to be used with a netbook?

I wonder if there is any way to out put the gps coordinates from the phone using logcat while using a gps monitor from the market , just a thought.
If we could have a monitoring program on the laptop selectively import the coordinates from the phone and send them to Microsoft street program on the pc. That would be pimp.
Im going to see what I can do when I get home from work here.

nmea 183 protocol is the industry standard to communicate between a gps and a display/logger. .

seen instamapper? you can get data pretty quickly that way... of course its not quite the same as getting the data directly fed to the laptop... and this requires internet

Thats the precise reason for wanting to "tether" my Evo as a GPS receiver.
If I can use the MS Street on my netbook by getting GPS coordinates from my phone, it will complete everything I ever wanted to do with a smart phone.
I just hope this post will get somewhere.
there is a beta app for this exact purpose in the market...

What is the name of the app?

GPS (No data connection, no directions)

Well I took a trip today and decided to try out the gps. Google navigation uses the internet connection to find everything. What does this mean? You have to an internet connection when you start. After you get your directions you are good to go. I even tried putting in the address, no connection no directions.

Were you outside with a clear view of the sky?
For those who do not have a data plan on their xoom, have you tried GPS navigation while tethered to their smartphone? Just curious how well this might work.

Any data connection appears to work. Once you have the directions you should be good, but hope you don't need to change anything. I understand if you are trying to search for something using data, but i even put in the address and it still wouldn't work.
Have any of you tried the route caching? Say if you plan a route while still connected to your wifi, with gps lock and then take it to you car, does the route stay?

The route stays. You just can't change it or start a new one till you get into a wifi zone again (or tether from your phone).
guys, xoom uses A-GPS....Assisted GPS, assisted by the cellular towers to find your location. you need data.
GPS works fine with my device. Picks up my location immediately after opening Maps.

Why does every android phone want WiFi on when using maps or navigation?

I would think the GPS and a network connection would be good enough to triangulate where you are. I'm tired of the nag screen. I tried to Google for an answer but didn't find anything that exactly answered my question. Maybe when Google mapped out street view, they were also sniffing for Wi-Fi access points, and their names with locations? Just a theory.
Mine will work with Wireless off. Just tried it. Location settings to just GPS, Wifi turned off, map worked perfectly. Didn't try to navigate, but it should be the same.
Mine works fine without WiFi. It asked me once and I skipped it and it hasn't showed again.
Maybe because each WiFi router has the ability to send its location. If you were in a building without GPS signal you could still have location.

Yeah I know you can skip it, but if the program senses you're on a mobile network, and the GPS is on, I don't know why it still wants to have Wi-Fi on.
Just did a test with a couple mapping apps. If I am in an airport or mall without WiFi on it can't tell which store or gate I am at. With the WiFi on it can tell exactly what store or gate I am near. Maybe they use WiFi to pinpoint. Oh and I did have GPS on at all times but without the added WiFi location it was either not good enough signal or no GPS signal... Who knows maybe they are just watching us.

I think it's just that WiFi will always be more exact than data. You're accessing the Interwebz through one point rather than through your carrier.
Yeah but you're not connected to anything on Wi-Fi, it just has to be on.
There's a database of found access points out there. Your phone can triangulate its position far more accurately if it uses the available wifi access points to do so, especially indoors. Like oscar said, it doesn't need to be connected to wifi. It only needs wifi activated in order to "see" what access points are nearby.

S-voice help please.

I am unable to use the S-voice on my Note 3 without being connected to the internet? Is this normal?
I would have thought it would have worked without a net connection? Am I doing something wrong in terms of set up? If I am could one of you kind members point me in the right direction please.
Many thanks

Doesn't S - Voice require an Internet connection?

On my phone, not only do I need an internet connection but it only works with a WIFI internet connection. And what's with no mic button on any of the keyboards?

WiFi and 4g

Morning folks, been having an issue for a while and wondering if you guys can help me. Basically I have a WiFi printer at work that we connect our phones too to print emails we do not actual have Internet at work though so we are always on 4g. Is it possible to be connected to both so I don't have enough to keep connecting WiFi every time I want to print something. Many thanks.
