iaslaniv 14:22 | Hi, I have installed on nokia 6700 and everything works fine except Altitude, always is 0. Please, could somebody help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance | |
Stephen 20:23 Location: Phone Model: | Hi, This sounds rather odd. TMJ takes its altitude direct from the Internal GPS (I'm assuming you're using this, rather than an external bluetooth device) - it does this at the same time that it gets the latitude and longitude, so if these are updating okay then I assume that maybe the GPS is just unable to provide the altitude (possibly due to if not being able to lock on to enough satellites, for example). Do other apps (eg the phones builtin GPS Status app) show an altitude reading? One thing you might check is whether the Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Parse NMEA Data if Available option makes any difference? Cheers, Stephen | |
iaslaniv 11:56 | Hi Stephen, Thank you for reply. I'm using Internal GPS. The latitude and longitude are updating Ok and speed, compass etc. Ok. I don't have other app in my dev. As you suggested, I check Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Parse NMEA Data option but altitude still 0.0. Regards, Ilham | |
Stephen 17:19 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Ilham, Does the phone not have at least a basic built-in GPS Status app? I'm not sure about Series 40 but Nokia Series 60 phones have a 'Location' app (in Main Menu/Applications on my 5800) that gives basic position data, including altitude. Just wondering if this is also showing zero... Do you have any GPS errors in the event log (Menu/Settings/Debug/View Event Log). Maybe also try with and without Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Basic Connection and Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Allow Costs (restart TMJ after each change). To be honest I suspect this might be a firmware bug in the phone (you might try checking for firmware updates) - I really can't think of any other reason in TMJ why the Lat/Long should work but not the Altitude!! Regards, Stephen | |
iaslaniv 13:20 | Hi Stephen, Thank you, everything works fine :) I have Baku city map in nm2 format. Can I use this map on TMJ software? Does TMJ software supports Google online map? Regards, Ilham | |
Stephen 11:58 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Ilham, Strange that its suddenly working!!! I'm not familiar with the NM2 format, I assume its a vector format, in which case no, I'm afraid TMJ can only work with its own vector tile format. If you are able to somehow convert the map into a large PNG or JPEG file you may be able to open it in the MapOrganiser and convert it for TMJ, though I somehow suspect that this might be rather fiddly! Regarding Google, their licensing prohibits the use of their map tiles outside of their web-based maps, hence why all the TMJ maps are OpenStreetMap-based! Cheers, Stephen | |
iaslaniv 13:13 | Hi Stephen, Not suddenly. I checked "Menu/GPS/GPS Options/Parse NMEA Data" option and just did not restart the phone. After restart everything OK Regards, Ilham | |
