BlackBerry Smartphones GPS - position On / Off

My husband gave me a curve for Christmas - what a wonderful surprise!  I found this site tonight and have been check / update my options, but I have a question about the GPS option.  What is the advantage (or not) to transform my GPS location WE verses uses don't not the setting.  Is it a good thing?

Thank you!

Basically light location allows your GPS search of satellites in BB Maps or Google Maps or any other GPS program. If you enable location off, you're basically turn off your GPS capabiilties. Personally I have to take advantage of Google Maps and geotagging the photos I take.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS LOCATION

    I've been working on trying to get my BlackBerry Torch to get an accurate GPS position. I go to Options > device > location settings. GPS DATA source is: GPS device, location Services: location, location data: Enabled and location service activated. I go to the menu and click Refresh the location. I then wait for a future situation. As the address I get a number that does not exist.  The street I live on that is only 1 block long and gives the house number is not valid.  He said that precision be 6,97 m.

    I tried out and refreshing my position several times, tired standing in different places. Right now it shows 6 satellites. I tried to disable location data, before you turn off the location helping. I see no difference.  I tried the things listed on this page: http://blog.telenav.com/blog/2011/01/common-fixes-for-att-navigator-on-the-blackberry-9800/ nothing seems to help.

    I plugged a location on ATT Navigator and shown both States the time to get there is 15 to 20 minutes on the real time it takes to get there.

    I reinstalled ATT Navigator today to see if that would help. But he did not.  The physical location seems close enough, but when I plug my actual address, it shows a different location. More than 88 meters off the coast. Very different 6,97 m.  For now, I'm sitting in a Chair and he shows me move on to the next Street and back. I have the most up to software date for my phone.

    Is it possible that I can get the GPS working properly?

    Probably, the GPS works correctly, and your street is lot numbered.

    Let me explain: my house is located at street number 35 XXXX Street, although we are at the end of the block.

    So, my GPS, while at home, always puts to 99 number XXXX Street.

    It's because many of street follows a set pattern begins by xx1 and ending with x 99 in any block of data.

    Thus, our street should look like this.

    99----------------35------------------1

    When it actually looks like this:

    35----------------17------------------1

    Is that helps explain?

    Insofar as sitting in your Chair, GPS get you moving... because you're not outside well to the satellite showing, it is guestimating where you are.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS never find any satellite

    Hi all

    My first blackberry and my first post - blackberrys ROCK!

    Lovin my 8110, only a niggle - one of the main things I wanted this phone to was the GPS, but suspect I may have a defective hardware that the GPS never found a single satellite, looking for just indefinitely.

    Google maps for example, I select 'My position', and he thinks I'm a half mile away saying "-your location at 1200 meters.» "Waiting for GPS". The GPS never answers, I guess it gets less than 1200 meters by triangulation my position over the telephone network (vodafone).

    BlackBerry Maps - "Searching for satellies...» "Again, never to find!

    Options-> AdvancedOptions-> GPS:
    GPS data source: GPS device
    GPS services: location
    GPS location:
    Latitude: N 0 * 0.00'
    Longitude: W 0 * 0.00'
    Difficulty of time: no
    Number of Satellites: 0
    Precision: 0.0 m
    Location service: enabled

    My suspicions are correct, if my phone was delivered broken?

    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    Try refresshing to the Gps, go to menu, options, advanced options, gps, press menu again and refresh GPS

    Don't forget, you have to stand outside to receive the satellite signal

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS, the 8300 and ATT

    I got my 8300 about a year previously and has waited until now to install the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry.

    Cingular says it had GPS 'ability' and I thought that it meant "integrated."  I paid $100 for the Garmin

    Download and got the version for phones WITH GPS.  Naturally he has no satellite.

    It is then that I discovered that I have the 8300 and not the 8310.  In addition, I had no Blackberry Maps

    featured and was ready to download/install, when I noticed the statement that IT DOES NOT

    ON ATT.  So, now I'm here with a bad brain trying to figure out how to get out of this trouble before

    I fed the rest of my money to Garmin or ATT or the PERSON, to get a less-than-perfect GPS Setup.

    I could get the Bluetooth GPS receiver, someone else purchased for about $60. Garmin Mobile software

    is an OF WHAT GPS with integrated phone and I noticed somewhere that it does not work for phones receive signals

    a Bluetooth receiver.  To stay with Garmin, I have to buy their package for about $150, which includes a

    receiver and the software to go with it.  Using THIS plan, buy one once, there seems to be no. $ 9.99/month

    subscription to process. (I'm wrong, or am I missing something here?)

    I could get the receiver for $60 as shown above and subscribe to Telenav GPS stuff that came with

    My att phone. I downloaded the new maps of them today, but I am not at all impressed with their quality.

    I also think that it is outrageous to pay the subscription of $9.99 / month to something I have trouble reading.

    Then... I guess I wonder if I should cut my losses here and go get the Garmin Nuvi that someone else

    has said was excellent for car navigation?  I like really use my 8300 for everything and have GPS it would sweep.  But I don't know if I combine a GPS system on the phone that he would give me the configuration of navigation that I would.

    There you have it. Opinions and advice are appreciated. BJ

    "One thing that made me hesitate to go to the BlueTooth receiver was the suspicion that he has not used the satellites, but uses rather server signals, or receiving cell tower." "I ordered the receiver Globalsat BT BlueTooth - 359C last weekend; I'll let you know how it works. »

    .

    .

    It works very well... and really uses satellites.  With Blackberry Maps, the dashboard for the navigation shows the speed you're going on the left, the right direction and a satellite icon in the middle with a number, which I guess is the strength of the signal.  The unit works as well for the location with Google maps, too.  Note: the key to the Bluetooth passcode is 0000.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS connectivity is very slow

    When I try to find my location, I get a message saying: unable to connect to Google GPS temporarily.  It will take 5 to 15 minutes before it finally connects.  Anyone have a solution for this

    On any Blackberry model, first make sure that you in a area of signal coverage is good AND outside with a clear view of the sky view in an open no skyscraper area.

    Your CDMA xx30 or xx50 model BlackBerry, follow these steps:
    Go to the Options icon > status
    In the status screen on the keyboard type "test" (without the quotes!).
    You will see a Test screen device Self. Click on the Menu button and choose Start. You will find a list of tests. The substantive test should be GPS, check it and click Menu > run. Remember location GPS is turned on. Go outside without obstacles or the tall buildings around or above you. Click the trackball, then click start fixing. is should do a test. Let it do its thing and it should tell you that a location coordinates.

  • How can BlackBerry Smartphones GPS on 8310 I get the card?

    Can someone please tell me how to get the cards and use them on my 8310 as a gps travel card. I use very often and that you don't really want to pay for them.

    I saw a discussion on free google maps.

    Help, please

    Ash

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Google maps is a free application that uses the GPS and triangulation via cell towers. If your GPS is enabled it can be very accurate. If your gps does not find a satellite, Gmaps will be triangulate your position within 3,000 metres.

    The cards are excellent, provide traffic, both in turn. Satellite image shows as well.  Allows to search for the company and displays the phone number and address. You can click on the number to call.

    Again, it is free, so you can lower the load and try it.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones GPS and the small speaker

    OK people, I know that out there, someone has a solution for this.  It seems so simple, but so far I didn't get a response.  Here's the situation.  It is difficult to hear GPS directions by the Blackberry Curve speaker.  I would like to send the directions to my bluetooth device or if it is completely impossible, voice instructions for my headphone plug.  I tried the two and no work - the sound contiues to get out of the enclosure.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I found the solution.  When I tried to make the GPS directions stronger, I pushed the speaker button.  Much to my surprise, he looked for the bluetooth device.  When I turned on my helmet, GPS voice instructions went directly to the headset.  It works very well.  The only problem is a slight delay.

    Problem solved. Now if someone could just find a way to get the sound of the Sprint TV to the bluetooth headset...
