Rambo asked:


My GPS unit use to work great, but now if I disconnect the pwer cord, it will just stop working an turn off, almost as if the battery cannot sustain the charge. Also, no matter how long I re-charge it, if I unpluug it it stops working. Please help?
I wanted to add that “over charging” is not the issue, sometimes I do not use it for weeks and it works fine plugged, does not work unplugged, can I buy a battery?

Nokia N95 8GB GPS Location Problem?

AMateToTalkTo™ asked:


Hi.

The reason why I am contacting you all is because I have recently purchased a copy of the software, “Tom Tom Maps”, and after attempting to install it onto my Nokia N95 8GB, many, many times, it simply refuses to recognise the internal GPS module.

The built in GPS device works perfectly with Nokia Maps. But after using Nokia Maps in an emergency journey of just 9 miles from my home it cost me £17 in user charges from my mobile phone provider.

So has anyone else bought a Nokia N95 8GB, purchased the Tom-Tom software, installed it onto their phone, and have been able to get it to work with the built in GPS properly, or have had the same problem and discovered a solution for themselves?

Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve never thought of getting it until now so I didnt care to read on it or anything.

Thank you so much in advance.

I was reading updates on Garmins are 60 plus dollars, does this sound right? If so, how often do you have to update? I am also looking at Tom Tom’s.

I bought the Magellan GPS with traffic and it doesn’t give me a single alert!

I-25 can be at a stop for miles and it doesn’t notify you anything is wrong. No construction alerts either and I pass through the ones at I-76 and 225 and again at I-70 and Ward.

I’m wondering if Tom-Tom or Garmin work any better or if it’s just Denver area that sucks for alerts.

I’ve used many GPS units in the field with topo software, though have yet to purchase a vehicle GPS unit. I’m wondering, do any (Tom Tom, C330, Nuvi) allow you to view the exact UTM coordinate of your location? Do they also allow you to switch which datum your using? Please don’t answer unless you understand what I’m talking about.

My husband wants a GPS system for his car for Christmas. I know nothing about these things. I’ve seen the Tom Tom’s, and Garmins, but I’m not sure what to look for. He just wants something basic, nothing too fancy with a gazillion features. But not the cheapest one either. Any suggestions? Thanks!
