supl.nokia.com doesn't work very well for a lot of people on T-Mobile. Luckily, it seems that Google's server does.

N900 GPS cannot lock without Data connection?
 

Hey guys, Hello.
I just want to know if it even possible to use the GPS at somewhere without wifi connection or without credits in your sim card.

I tried to get mine locked yesterday without data connection and it took 20mins but still not locked. So is this normal or not?

I have seen the N95 locked in in just 5mins without data connection aid. Why can't the N900 do the same?

Re: N900 GPS cannot lock without Data connection?
 

This is a known problem, you should vote for it in bugzilla:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7026
Apparently the can't lock without network connection, that's definitely a bug.

first, they must speed up Maps.

Re: N900 GPS cannot lock without Data connection?
 

I think that before the speeding up they should make Ovi Maps 3 compatible with the N900, so that we could search for locations without any network connection. Even before, of course, the offline Gps lock...

I thought my n900 GPS is faulty at first :) but I guess it just nokia at fault right now.

Re: N900 GPS cannot lock without Data connection?
 

Please remember that the Ovi Maps version numbering for N900 and S60 (or any other platform) is completely different. In fact they are essentially two parallel products...so I don't think that we will see "Ovi Maps 3" ported over to N900...but we can see *features* from Ovi Maps 3 being ported to Ovi Maps for N900.

But I agree that Ovi Maps on N900 could get some love and be vastly improved (I'm missing the good old Maps application from the N800 :( )

GPS without internet
 

hello,
maby its bug, maby not. I using offline ovi maps, but whene try use gps without GPRS or WiFi device cant find satellites(waiting ~10 mins). try search in google but cant find answer.

Re: GPS without internet
 

this has been addressed in several threats, theres also a bug report on it in bugzilla.

I believe it has something to do with ovi, that stops searching for gps after 30sec, other apps (ecoach) has successfully gotten a gps location with out any online assistance.

Try using the advanced search feature in the menu on the right, and see if you can find some threats to read up on it.
