GPS never works: Questions: 1) How do I get driving directions in my Nokia maps?

Bharat, you are right. The GPS feature in this phone works without any data plan. To answer your question, 1) You will get turn by turn driving directions only after your phone gets GPS signal and selecting 'Drive to' location. The options will be appearing only after your phone gets GPS signal. 2) To turn on GPS, you just open 'Maps' application and wait for GPS signal. The GPS signal strength is displayed at the bottom righ corner of the phone. It may take from 5 mins to 30 mins to get enough GPS signal strength when you are outside the building. I hope this helps. If not, plz let me know.

Gps won't work if system is not working. So either you have lost your internet service, or router..... Or you.lost your conection to verizon. My advice would be to call verizon wireless customer service.

Hello A. Hasan,Make sure the battery is charged by pressing the battery button. The lights should be 4 blue dots to show fully charged. NextThe switch in the back must be pushed to the left towards the GPS. The Wireless Internet connection should be off. NextStep outside. Open the Software. Since the iPod does not have an internal compass, you must walk around to get a change in direction. This will show movement on the GPS. Several free apps in the APPS store are available to validate. Another validation is the directional arrow in the upper right hand corner. This will be active when the device has clear vision of the horizon and the open sky. Hello A.

I have inserted the garmin gps but it is yet to start working. I am not sure whether it works or not and then comes the question of working with a specific model...:)

Do you have a bluetooth on your tablet?Do you have an applicaion in the WIN8 store (if there is such a thing) that would map the GPS signal (for android it is called: GPS Bluetooth)If you have those on your tablet - I guess it should be functional.

To the best of my knowledge there is no GPS function on this basic phone (Samsung T105). It isn't at all like a smart phone.

Hey M. , Did you add Mapping solfware yourself ? If you did, you have to have the solfware Settings , set for the GPS unit. Mapping setting have to match. Not sure where but it should say something about downloading maps to the unit. A friend of mine didn't have the setting matching and we were off about 1/4 mile. This is not good when out hunting.

I was surprised when I got this that it didn't tell you how in the manual. The way I turned it on is to change your profile. Go to the tools (wrench and screwdriver at the bottom of the screen) and select profiles. If you select "vehicle" it will give you directions when you input a destination. At least mine did when I told it to go to a geocache. As for your maps, I have both selected. World maps and Detailed. The detailed is the summit and city series, so I would bet it would have to be checked to enable the turn by turn. Good luck.

If this is the Garmin GPS V. The GPS should have come with the drivers. I do have the drivers and they are outdated and do not work. I have contacted Garmin for support and there are no updates.

in most cases it all depends on the voice settings of the GPS. Only certains voices will say the street names. Check the voice settings

I have another recommendation. Don't buy a GPS; buy a phone. Nokia phones with GPS have free OVI maps that include points of interests. The Nokia 5230 is a four band GSM phone that will work in China, with the addition of a Chinese phone card and the unlock code from your cellular provider, unless you buy the phone unlocked from Nokia. You do have to tweak the phone a bit to get the Chinese characters for points of interest; I found the instructions on the web. You need to download the map to your phone from the OVI store site, but maps are available for countries all over the world. The phone costs about $130 I have another recommendation.

It does not have GPS hardware for driving navigation. It will use Google Location services to show your current WiFi location

When my RoadMate died, I tried everything without success until finally contacted Magellan customer service. They offered involved factory reset procedure which must be followed exactly whereby their special file is downloaded, unzipped to micro SD card, -which worked for me. My Magellan GPS is now working but am not sureabout trusting it, -find myself feeling more like reusing old Tom Tom and keeping an eye out for a great sale on a Garmin.

I wouldn't buy this product, but I'm looking for something! I have GPS on my Smartphone, and even though I put the highest setting on the speakerphone, I can't hear the directions! Is there another product that will send from the cell phone to my radio that works?? or another solution to boost the volume?
