Still you can use it to record YOUR location and the signal strength and base station encountered.

Yeah, it's so inferior that 99+ percent of the world outside of the US has settled on it as the technology of choice.

but afaik everything should be ready to go...

Try the release that'll be out in a few hours. That should fix it.

It was a joke.

* Added: [ 2041083 ] Add confirmation to Delete All.
* Refactor: [ 2045843 ] Refactor Options UI

Don't forget to clear your browser cache before downloading.

It's also a good idea to export your saved cell sites and locations, just in case.

I'm still working on the ability to edit saved cell site and location names and the ability to save a location on a time interval.

still shows Build 0.1.754 on the OTA download after clearing my cache etc.

i downloaded it via the website. works this time!

still shows GPS not avaliable... I wonder if Bell is blocking it maybe?

I didn't notice you had an 8703e. I think it's GPS doesn't conform to the JSR 179 standard. At least according to RIM it doesn't. That means I can't get location information from it. Sorry.

Do Google Maps and BlackBerry Maps give you good location info?

[tbhuang2]

The new Options UI looks nice! Thanks for that. I'm very satisfied with the app the way it is; I have run out of suggestions. Good work!

[jeremy]

This is a great application!

One issue I've noticed with version 0.1.776:

If "View all on map" is selected in "List saved locations", the Mapping application setting isn't used. When I select Google Maps, this option still uses BlackBerry Maps.

Yep, that's still a limitation because I haven't figured out how to pass a list of locations to Google Maps.

So far no. BB Maps lets me select "Start GPS" but i never see anything appear... Google Maps only has the option for a Bluetooth GPS.

hmmmm....

RemyJ,

I notice that when running this app on a Bold, the Net, Svc, and Id/Ch fields don't populate.

Would you be willing to get the app working on the Bold?

Jeremy

[RemyJ]

I'm working on it in the simulator but if you have an extra real one you'd care to donate to the cause, I wouldn't refuse.

I wish I had an extra. I'd be willing to offer feedback to you from testing. I may also be willing to give bounty for 3G info on the Bold. PM me if you're interested.

Do you just have to launch VZ Nav or do you have to select a specific option like "Where Am I" to make this work with Verizon?

Thanks,

Jon

OK, here's the deal. It actually works fine on the Bold if you use a microscope to read the text.

The default font size is coming up as "1" which makes the text pretty much invisible. Go into Options and change the font size to something a little closer to normal (say 16) and everything should be fine. I'll correct the default size issue shortly.

Let me know how it works when on 3G.

Love the application but it seems to report the cell site information inconsistantly. I am getting 7-9 GPS satellites but only sometimes can I get the lat/lon of the cell towers. I originally thought it mught be the way some towerrs are configured but the same route will sometimes give me the data and other times it wont.

I am using an 8830 attached to the Verizon network. Is there anything special I need to do?

I think Verizon cripples the GPS. I'm surprised you get anything.

Do you have VZ Navigator running in the background?

[bqs]

I have a external puck (Keychain 2000) - works pretty well. I do not have VZ Navigator running in the background. Any ideas?

Yeah, exactly. I was never able to get consistent results on my Verizon 8830.

Ah. In this configuration, you shouldn't be getting Cell Site at all. If you are, it's bogus info.

[bqs]

Any ideas on how to get it working?
