GPS locations
Question:
I'm trying to location current user location thru GPS.
and I got a code from cloudmade
http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/j2me-lib/examples/gps-location
is that ok...or I need to do more coding..
there are two options for GPS location:
a) using java ME location API (JSR-179) like shown in cloudmade tutorial above
b) MGMaps Lib SDK has own API method to get GPS location. See http://www.nutiteq.com/system/files/Hello_Map_tutorial-0_8_0A.pdf page 10, chapter "Show GPS location on map". Library API has advantage that it supports also othere positioning methods: external Bluetooth GPS of devices which do not have Java Location API (e.g. SonyEricsson phones) and Cell-ID positioning.
If phone has internal GPS and you use only it, then there is no difference which method to use.
The problem is probably that GPS has no coverate indoors. You can check status with Nokia Symbian phones under Tools > GPS Data. If this shows coordinates, then also Java application will do it.
hi jaak.
do this gps jsr179 work in emulator wtk?
It should work, select Events menu in WTK emulator and set coordinates (or route) there. Initially it will 0,0
Hi,
I've tested both above codes(GPS Code example from Nutiteq and cloudmade) and neither of them are working...
I used Nokia E71 & N73
any solution for GPS Location Finding...
Your patience is appreciated,
