checked off or on?

j · 1 year ago

Verb 1. check off - put a check mark on or near or next to; "Please check each name on the list"; "tick off the items"; "mark off the units"

Indian Stallion · 1 year ago

I was confused by the "check off" statement as well. Clearer to just say "make sure Assisted GPS is checked."

hey guys! sorry for the confusion, I'm changing that text!

Hi.... I am from India, under tool--->settings--> furthur I have no options as GENERAL.
there are only 4options under settings which are internet,navigation,route &map respectively. is something wrong with my pre installed GPS.
Thanks if any reply....

I personally prefer to keep aGPS off as the data plans in most European contries are quite expensive .

Ukie · 1 year ago

install garmin mobile xt and upload unlocked map of north america or europe.... locks very fast and doest use any data

KernyKat · 1 year ago

I tried this, but whenever I launch Maps, the first thing it tells me is "No internet connection. Select 'Options' > 'Tools' > 'Go online' to go online."
I follow those steps and it just repeats the message...

The internet connection works fine in other apps, so i'm not sure why it doesn't in Maps.

never had that problem, i installed goggle maps and it takes about 5-20 seconds before it locates me on the gps.

Anthony · 1 year ago

Same as KernyKat...

Don't know what gives...I rather Google Maps, but have heard such good things re: Nokia Maps...just wanted to try it...

Any suggestions?

It may be of use to say I run Edge on TMO, and switch between Blackberry and E71, so it could very well have something to do with my "Unlimited Blackberry Data," plan from TMO...though Google Maps, and about everything else you can think of runs great...

Another note, can I replace Nokia Maps on Home Screen with Google's?

Thanks,
Anthony

I tried relentlessly to install this garmin software on my E71-2 but with no success :((
Does anyone have any step by step instructions that they followed and succeeded?
If you do please post the link or e-mail....thanks......

yes thats what i need also. So i guess you and me have to wait for some tips from the mates here. (garmin without internet connection from my phone) :P

SCheng · 1 year ago

For those of you who are having trouble with GPS and haven't tried this, this is what I did (I'm on TMO using Edge/GPRS):
Menu-Tools-Settings-General-Positioning-Positioning Server:
Access point--(Select which you use for data)
Server address--supl.nokia.com (My e71 came preloaded with 'h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org')

Toby Field · 9 months ago

That's the same problem I had and changed to the settings you suggest. It works fine now.

veevo · 1 year ago

yes man my e71 also came with maps preloaded for my country [romania] but my question was where can i get garmin for free and use it without internet connection

ylemer · 1 year ago

@ SCheng : A-GPS didn't work for me since I change the preloaded address supl.nokia.com (wich was probably blocked by my french carrier SFR) into geoloc1.sfr.fr
Anyway, most of the a-GPS problem seem to have something to do with this server address

@KernyKat : did you check your access point in Menu-Tools-Settings-General-Positioning-Positioning Server: Access point

Tom · 1 year ago

The Access Points I can select are from my mobile carrier only. I also have WLAN access points, but they do not appear in the selection. Is there some way to have them shown in the dialog? The reason of course is cost.

pinkphones · 1 year ago

Thanks for showing what to do about my GPS, but with a little confusion about on or off, but still its good, adding options to my phones are cool also stylish, actually there are some sites that offers applications and style additions to our mobiles to make it more prettier and useful.

Ed · 1 year ago

Let's get something clear first. Nokia Maps and Google Maps uses the internet whether you use AGPS or not, you get network charges. If you use Garmin Mobile XT on your phone and assuming you are using the internal GPS, the AGPS only uses a norminal connection to the nearest cell tower to get a fix on your location and assist in pinpointing your location. So norminal network charges anyway.

Valerie · 1 year ago

When I got my Nokia E71, I got it without the A-GPS setting enabled. But luckily, I found this post; now I know how to enable it. Thanks!

RE71 · 1 year ago

Quick question... When I get online, Nokia Maps 2.0 always updates my map data. It deletes the existing data I just spend hours to download on my PC. Real bummer. How can I get my E71 and Nokia Maps to stop updating and retain the map locally? Thanks in advance...

KernyKat · 1 year ago

@ylemer - Yes, I did check Menu-Tools-Settings-General-Positioning-Positioning Server: Access point ... it is set to my data plan profile from my carrier. If I were to try changing the "access point", it actually doesn't offer any other selections... notably it doesn't come up with any of my WiFi access points I have defined. And that makes sense... WiFi generally would be useless when travelling far enough to need maps! I only have one access point profile defined that isn't WiFi, it's the only one selectable, and it's selected.

Even though it complains about "No internet connection.", sometimes it is able to find my location within around 30 sec. which seems too quick to not be using A-GPS...

I've taken to using Google Maps instead... which has it's own downsides but at least directions are free and it connects to the internet fine.

Vijay Eswaran · 1 year ago

I gave 2 issues with the GPS such that I never use it much. One is I'm hesistant to turn on A-GPS when I'm roaming (most likely use of GPS) because I'm not sure how much my operator will charge me per kB. Two is the maps are not that comprehensive, i.e. there have been many times where I could find a road name on my Garmin but not on the E71.

Reactivator · 1 year ago

This is BAD tip.
When I bought my E71 - I changed my Positioning Server - to my access point.
Oh my god, I had to wait ages for GPS lock on.
But now I put there an supl.nokia.com - it takes just 5 seconds with COLD start

Reactivator · 1 year ago

BTW
When I bought my E71 - it was preloaded with 'h-slp.mnc260.mcc310.pub.3gppnetwork.org'

JUST CHANGE it to supl.nokia.com

Housam · 9 months ago

MIKE · 5 months ago

How do you turn off the cell phone assist for gps in the E71x att version. I can not find a positioning menu. I also can not find where it show you the sat signals, I only see a number in the top right showing how mant sats my phone is finding. Thanks for the help
