MGmaps

Hey guys,

I installed MGmaps with offline maps and it works fine. However, is there a way I can use the GPS built in the phone to see my location on the offline map, or is there a way to do this with another app. I blocked all data usage on my plan so it would have to be a way to use GPS for offline map without data. 

Thanks

Thanks man. By the way, are there any options to get GPS without data. I heard about bluetooth GPS receivers. Which ones will work on this particular phone and will they work without data.

Thanks

Have you tried to use mgmaps out in the woods without a connection? Our gps is set to standalone and there has always been the question whether it will connect or not without celltower help. It may take longer to connect but it just might.

So I came across the We-Travel app. Will it allow me to show my location using internal gps without data?

Man I really need to get out of cell tower range and figure this out. There doesn't seem to be a definite answer yet. I have unlimited data so I just haven't , but curiosity well you know.

I  Liked Nav 4 all as my secondary GPS app and then I got this email :

Dear Customers,

It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the
global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go
offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence
agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in
a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data
from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term.
The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All
has therefore been constrained to stop................BLAH BLAH


OH WELL

Yes mythic has yellow pages w/gps ,free too except for data.
Nav 4 all is definitely offline, doesn't work anymore. I'm glad about amaze though, hope
they stay up for free. I still have google maps, mgmaps, amaze and mapnav installed. I think I'll survive lol

 Is your internal setting for gps set to standalone ? since you have all data blocked on phone plans this might confirm the GPS needs initial data to start. I have data and my GPS is set to standalone and the get position test works. I'm thinking you need data.


Try reading this , might help :

yeah the setting is on standalone.

i think we do need data to get gps position.

when i try the get position test and leave it open for a while, it comes up with a message about being unable to get the satellite list. perhaps the data tells the phone which satellites it is able to use and then the position coordinates are sent.

i will try the test once more and post back
