Does anyone know if these work together? I see there are dedicated iPhone +altimeter apps for the iPhone, but I can't find info if there is an altimeter built into the iPhone that works with these Endomondo/Strava apps.  So my fear is that my gps is not tracking the correct altimeter information. Should I be worried?

So, I think it'd be cool - for goal setting for example - if I could keep track of my elevation change.  The problem is, the local cyclocomputers I looked at seem to use barometric pressure to determine the change.  This is fine, unless some weather is moving in, which happens not infrequently in the Midwestern United States.  Or do some of them try to use an inclinometer, your speed, and some math you learn in Calculus II to keep track of your change?  That would seem more accurate!  I could try to use a GPS meter, but those things are expensive -  and based on back when I had service to my smart phone, not guaranteed to match my car's odometer for distance even - I've read from some other riders that the distance varies at least slightly from local measurement on a bike as well.   Alternatively, let's say that I ride along a known route.  Is there any good way of plotting that route for elevation change?  Thanks!

I have a set of Bluetooth headphones that I use with my iPhone and Macbook (OS X Yosemite).   On my iPhone, a little battery meter pops up next to the Bluetooth logo each time I'm connect the headphones.  I have found no such option on my Macbook (OS X ) and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same issue.  The only potential solution I came across was the Battery Tracker on the Mac App Store. It is not clear whether it supports all Bluetooth devices (and not just standard peripherals), and I would rather not pay the $1.99 to find out.  I know that my headphones have the  Bluetooth profile, so my gut is telling me that information about my battery level has to be accessible somewhere on my computer.  Here is a  of the device profile from my mac's System Information. RSSI seems like the only thing that could have been a battery meter (everything else is booleans or id's), but from what I've read it seems to be a metric for signal strength.  I'm interested in finding a solution from a practical standpoint, but am equally as interested in understanding how it would be/is achieved from a technical standpoint.  Think I just need to figure out what the battery metric/param/variable is called, and where I can get it.  Please let me know if you have any thoughts/insights ! Thanks

I have used "Find my Mac" to find our Macbook Pro. It was pretty accurate and was able to place the computer within 10 feet of its actual location. I started thinking about how it actually works, since the MBP doesn't have a GPS. How does "Find my Mac" work?

I am seeking closure with this question guys.  I am aware of various sources of free elevation data ~30+ m, and I have been searching for higher resolution FREE data for a while now. This already exists somewhat (), but may have changed since a year.  I'm afraid I may know the answer already, but to put an end to my misery and false hope:  What is the highest resolution, freely available (outside of academic institutions), elevation data covering the ENTIRE UK? - is 10 m available?

Most apps are made for iPhone but i would like to know if there is still a way to make iPhone apps work on Android? Emulator maybe?

Can the iPhone SDK take advantage of the iPhone's proximity sensors? If so, why hasn't anyone taken advantage of them? I could picture a few decent uses.  For example, in a racing game, you could put your finger on the proximity sensor to go instead of taking up screen real-estate with your thumb. Of course though, if this was your only option, then iPod touch users wouldn't be able to use the application.  Does the proximity sensor tell how close you are, or just that something is in front of it?

My mom tried to track my iPhone 5 using Find My iPhone. My location services were turned on and everything was working properly. Then it said between a certain time that my iPhone was 'offline'. She thinks I manually went and turned it off, making me appear to be offline but I did not do this. It is the second time this has happened since I got the app last year. I need to know why this is happening so that I can explain to her I am not doing it.

What's the NB30 or  MM-TD in an iPhone description? I always see these nomenclatures Non block, etc, what does it mean?

Where do questions along the lines of &quot;how do I get my scanner (model number here) to work over the network with the latest OS X ?&quot; (and similar questions) go? (Obviously, they don't go on Stack Overflow.) Is there a master list somewhere?

Is there any way to set different tracking speed for Magic Mouse and for built-in trackpad?  I'm using both, but Magic Mouse acts good for me at max tracking speed, but trackpad good for me at average tracking speed.   I see that tracking speeds are adjusted separately for each input device, but actually they affect both mouse and trackpad.   Is there any chance to set different configurations?  MacOs Sierra 10.12.2

I'm looking to do some light recording of voice conversations and field recordings on my iPad using the built in microphone.    seems to be the obvious Apple solution, but is too heavy for my needs. By the time I set up a new project, turn off the metronome, etc..., I find myself wishing I just had  running on my iPad.   I don't mind paying for the app, but wondered what people are using for both light voice recording as well as longer and more numerous recording / light editing where some tagging and filing might be possible.

I have been googleing a lot. As far as I can tell it will require a lot of work to get the internal GPS chip in my lenovo helix working with any kind of map software. The new stuff is that in windows 8 the internal GPS is a sensor, and not available via the COM port interface. Most software uses the old COM port stuff. The new software from the app store in windows 8 uses the windows location service, which seems to be ignoring the internal chip all together. None of the apps in metro can get accurate coordinates. Just Geo locate by city using IP. This is so bad. Is the GPS functionality useless? Who is at fault, Lenovo or Microsoft?   Edit: I think I fixed it, part of it at least. Under device manager, all you have to do is de-activate and re-activate. Then it will work. It stops working after a couple of minutes. But now at least antenna malfunction is out of the question! Yey!

I have a couple of eggs that I've picked up from some Pokestops (I'm lucky enough to live above one).   I walk a lot. I get to work through a 2 mile walk / train journey every day, so I should be picking up loads of steps for the eggs I have. However, because I'm normally always running late... for everything, I have to rush everywhere, so I walk at an above average pace.   Today I've walked around 5 miles, but the game has registered 100 metres. Is this because I walk too fast, or because of something else?  It's worth pointing out that I have the app open when walking... mostly because I have to catch them all. (This made me miss a train this morning... luckily I was early :D)

I was wondering if there was an iPhone application that would continuously read the GPS location and save it for later analysis. For example, I would like to be able to tell where I was at certain point of time, or how long did it take me to travel from one place to another. Is there such an app?

What ubuntu applications provide support? (guides, how to's, status) Also, specifically, details on support for syncing music to iPhone's and iPod's with the latest OS version:   Can you sync music to apple devices using >iOS4? (iPhone &amp; iPod) What applications allow you to do this and how? (guides, how to's, status)    What has already been established is:   Apple does not support Linux and has no plans to.  provides some support, however it currently does not support music/video synchronization with devices &gt;iOS4. Go to  and scroll to the section titled "" to see if your device version is supported.

I know that , however I did not find any info about a port to the iPhone.  I am not a Mac developer, so that I do not know whether a Mac OS X port is enough for the iPhone.  Does anyone know better than me?
