Hallo zusammen,
ich habe gerade in einer Rezension auf amazon.com gelesen, dass das GPS nur arbeiten würde, wenn man im Telefonnetz eingebucht ist. Außerdem soll der GPS-Empfang extrem schlecht sein.
Zitat4. GPS. There are 2 problems with the GPS. It failed for me on a few subsequent attempts to get a GPS signal, telling me I should go into an area where I can see the sky - and I was out in a parking lot! No trees, and clear visibility through the windshield. In fact, I could not get GPS signal while riding in a convertible with the top down. The software still tries to pinpoint your location using cell tower triangulation, but that wasn't enough precision. That *might* have been just my phone - very weak GPS signal. The second problem with it is that you have to be within cell network coverage to use the GPS. No cell coverage, no GPS, sorry. To be fair, TeleNav software is quite good. It pronounces street names accurately and it also tells you how long you're on this road. It's very convenient to not have to pull out and plug in your standalone GPS or remember to bring it from car to car, when you have this on the phone, and as people have mentioned, it's no extra charge. Just please keep in mind you will not be able to use it 'off the reservation' - any area with no cell coverage. The GPS maps are not preloaded on the phone, they are continually being downloaded over the 3g data network. For that you do need a standalone GPS unit or GPS software and maps loaded on your phone, like TomTom for PDA.
Was ist daran dran?
