gps

in my Cordova application, I am trying to get user's location from GPS. For that I am using Geolocation plugin . I need to get location after every 10 seconds. I am doing something like: navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( $rootScope.onSuccessForLocation, $rootScope.onErrorForLocation_High, {maximumAge:600000, timeout:7000, enableHighAccuracy: true} ); Now when this code runs, it gives me location in callback method but its not coming from GPS as when app starts the GPS icon should appear and starts blinking in status bar. But it is not happening. I had an old app which is using same

I am using Location Manager for GPS tracking in my application. The app returns apt location while using in Android 2.2,2.3.3 emulators and devices. But, Strangely i tested the app in Emulator 4.0.2 . It returns force close error as 05-28 15:13:46.584: E/AndroidRuntime(4458): at com.package.TestRun.registerLocationListeners(TestRun.java:191) in logcat . I have implemented the code as below: LocationManager lm; LocationManager lmNet; private void registerLocationListeners() { lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); if (myGPSLocationListener == null ||

How can I get an accurate speed from GPS in Android? Yes, I am aware of the location.getSpeed() method in the Location class. Problem is, the default implementation returns 0.0 as speed: apparently that is the default behavior . What I'm currently doing, is as follows, consider location objects a and b, where a is taken first, b later: a.distanceTo(b)/(b.getTime()-a.getTime()); (simplified for readability, original code deals with history ArrayList ) Problem is that this is somewhat inaccurate: under normal circumstances, the data points are so close to one another that the GPS inaccuracy

Hy everybody! I wrote a small gps application in simple C++, what switch the protocoll, send command to the gps chip...etc. The write to the GPS port is working good. But when I try to read the port (for check the accepted commands) I receive a lot of stupid characters. Normally an NMEA output message is something like this: $GPGLL,4916.45,N,12311.12,W,225444,A And I received similar: 1C0CFC14 I dont know whats wrong... This part of my code is the next: LPCVOID buffer[100]; ReadFile(hSerial, buffer, 100, 0, 0); Or an other for log some data: LPCVOID buffer[100]; ReadFile(hSerial, buffer, 100,

today i realize that some pages can locate me (im using a laptop with no gps built-in) using google chrome with a an very impresive exactitude, i know that using my IP you can locate me, but not with such presision. Now in google maps you will see a button on top of the yellow men (street view) who locates you using google chrome . How does this work? There is an API to use that? It's also possible with the actual HTML 5 Geolocation functions (only if your browser supports): if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(success, error); } else { alert("Not Supported!");

My application needs the GPS to be on, is there any way to check whether GPS is currently enabled or not and if not , then how to enable. I am using android 2.3 bvaldivielso Android does not allow you to do that. The best thing you can do is checking if the GPS is enabled and if it's not, ask the user to activate it. Here you can see how to know if the GPS is enabled: How do I find out if the GPS of an Android device is enabled You can do it this way..check it out private void turnGPSOn() { String provider = Settings.Secure.getString(getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.LOCATION_PROVIDERS
