QuickGps does not understand recivier signal. (Sergejs)	5.6.2010
Hi, My QuickGps connects to my Gps recivier but can get a valid signal from it. All the time write \"waiting for signal\" Isit possible to fix this problem, or it is better buy annother gps?	Answer
Re: QuickGps does not understand recivier signal. (Dave)	5.6.2010
Waiting for signal may take several minutes, it depends on conditions and other things. Try to put it to some place far for buildings and give it 5 minutes. If you don't get signal anyway, something must be wrong.	Answer
Re: Re: QuickGps does not understand recivier sign (Sergejs)	11.6.2010
There is something wrong, because I already try to connect it 30 minutes. Is it possible fix this bug or better buy other recivier? ( Gps recivier working well with TomTom application ) Thanks, Sergey	Answer
Move quickgps dir to card (krzysiekz)	8.11.2009
Now logs,tracks and screenshots are stored in main memory. Could it be moved to memory card? It would be easier to download data.	Answer
Re: Move quickgps dir to card (Dave)	9.11.2009
Sorry but I can't change it. The reason is performance. I don't know why but saving the same file to memory stick takes far too much longer then saving it to Phone Memory. Therefore all files saved by the program that can be big are saved to Phone memory. You can easily send them via bluetooth or via cable or copy them to Memory Stick and then work with them from there.	Answer
Problém s MapBuilderem (Hef)	6.9.2009

BlueMax Reciver not connected (Springer)	27.6.2009
Because the nokia reciver didn't work with QuickGPS, I bye a Bluemax. But this reciver also not work with Quick GPS. The connection with bluetooth is possible but not with the GPS-signals from the software. What can I do?	Answer
Re: (Dave)	28.6.2009
Based on this description I can hardly find out what the problem is because you did not describe what happens - error, etc. You may start pressing "4" to get to satellites info - once the satellites are green, you got the position otherwise you have to wait. If it still does not work, possible reasons are: The GPS receiver does not have signal yet and therefore you don't see a position the program can not work with it because of some reason - you can open the documentation and find a way how to log what your receiver sends - then send me the generated file for analysis, I will try to find out the reason and solve it	Answer

No. But you may try to find an emulator that makes the internal GPS to be BT accessible (it behaves like a BT device although it is internal). If you do or don't succeed with this solution, please post a message back to the forum.	Answer
Calibration problems (Graham)	4.5.2009
Hi, David. We exchanged emails last year about problems I was having calibrating bitmaps. Just downloaded the latest versions in the hope that the problem was solved, but it's still the same: I can't get waypoints or a GPS fix to plot properly on a bitmap calibrated with Ozi Explorer. (Google maps work fine) Even waypoints at the corners (the calibration points) don't plot right. And I've noticed now that the waypoints can jump around relative to the map as it is panned about the screen (up to about a km!). Any chance of fixing this?	Answer
Re: Calibration problems (Dave)	18.5.2009
Hi Graham, if I remember well the problem was that you need the british grid. I did not implement this and it is not planned. Sorry.	Answer
Re: Re: Calibration problems (Graham)	25.5.2009
I doubt that's the real problem, David. Even if I pretend the map is in UTM, it doesn't work. The transform between British Grid and UTM must be more-or-less a translation/scale/rotation so MapBuilder should handle it as if the page had been scanned crooked.	Answer
Re: Re: Re: Calibration problems (Dave)	25.5.2009
If it is so, you can just define left upper corner and right lower corner with GPS coordinates and that's all. But unfotunately it is not so easy - GB simply has own grid which is not easily convertible to other formats - honestly I haven't found any source code that would do it. So you can use the following workaround: define several calibration points using "Here I am" but this will not solve the issue completely. Sorry about that. As most of my customers are from the area around Germany, we simply don't have the same problems as you do and it would be too much effort to implement it just for you.	Answer
Waypoints (Springer)	4.5.2009
It would be useful, if I can set waypoints with UTM-coordinates. Most of the maps use UTM and not geo-coordinates.	Answer
Re: Waypoints (David)	18.5.2009
This application is primarily focused on geocaching so this feature will not be implemented.	Answer

New version has a problem with proxy passwords. (Dieter)	3.4.2009
Hello, I try to evaluate Quickgps. Building maps with the old version worked ok for small maps, but for larger maps I had a memory problem. So I tried the V3 version. But this one can't handle my password protected proxy. I get a window asking for my passwword, but after entering it, I get a 'Error' at the bottom window line of the map builder and nothing happens any more. Any idea what to do? Thanks, Dieter	Answer
Re: New version has a problem with proxy passwords (Dieter)	3.4.2009
PS: The Error occurs after a message like "Finalizing", so it might also have a different cause.	Answer
Re: Re: New version has a problem with proxy passw (Dave)	6.4.2009
Thanks for reporting te problem. I have made a correction but I cannot test it. Can you download the updated program (from the same location) and let me know if it works better? The program has a new item in the main menu now where the proxy can be set up.	Answer

Map Builder (Peter Charles)	1.4.2009
Thanks, the new Map Builder is really great. The out of memory problem has gone and it uses much less memory. I built a large map of Melbourne, it took 2 hours to build but worked great. One thing that concerned me though is the accuracy. I found the position was up to 20 meters out. That was never a problem with the manual calibration so it may need fine tuning.	Answer
Re: Map Builder (Dave)	1.4.2009
Well, sometimes the source maps are not 100% accurate so it may happen. If you feel the map is really shifted (you experience the same shift at any place), please let me know the direction (let's say "position shows 20m north from the actual place"). Also let me know the zoom used when building the map.	Answer
SMS current position - or copy to clipboard (Leonard)	11.2.2009
If you want to communicate your exact position to somebody, a nice way might be to send an SMS with the coordinates. This could be done with a function 'create SMS'. More generally usefull would be an option to copy your current position to the clipboard in textformat (or: two textformats)	Answer

Limit maximum zoom level (Leonard)	11.2.2009
I never use zoom levels > 100%, but regularly scroll the zoom wheel in the wrong direction, and have to scroll back to 100% (or below). Would it be possible to add a 'maximum zoom level' to the application settings?	Answer
Re: Limit maximum zoom level (Dave)	12.2.2009
Leonard, this is just a question of handling, rather I would decrease the sensitivity of the scroll button (for example roll by 2 means change the zoom)	Answer

Save keystroke in Navigate To Waypoint (Leonard)	11.2.2009
After 'Navigate - To Waypoint', I get a list of waypoints. The onscreen buttons (P1i) are 'select' and 'more'. I would expect 'select' to select the waypoint and start navigating to it, but instead, it opens the editor for the waypoint. In the current version, you have to use 'more - Navigate to', which is 1 extra stroke, and slightly illogical.	Answer
Re: Save keystroke in Navigate To Waypoint (Dave)	12.2.2009
This application is not only for P1i but for other phones as well and all behave slightly different.	Answer
Show full track names in list of tracks (Leonard)	11.2.2009
When using 'Track - View saved' or 'Track - Follow Track', a list of tracks is shown, but I cannot see the full name on my P1i. I would like to see the full (long) name of at least the currently selected track. A menu option 'info' to show the full name would already be a first step.	Answer
Re: Show full track names in list of tracks (Dave)	12.2.2009
You mean name of the file or name of the track??	Answer
Re: Re: Show full track names in list of tracks (Leonard)	13.2.2009
I did not even know tracks have names, but I use long filenames to discern different (variants) of tracks. So I meant: file names.	Answer
Key lock (Leonard)	11.2.2009
Is there a way to lock the keyboard / touchscreen but leave the map on screen? On my P1i, I have to go to the Stand-by screen to activate keylock. I would like to keep the map (typically in follow mode) visible with all keys locked. Key or tapping action would ideally reactivate the screen / backlight.	Answer
Re: Key lock (Dave)	12.2.2009
Due to Symbian security this is not possible.	Answer
Hold 'follow mode' when touching screen (Leonard)	11.2.2009
Even in follow mode, sweeping the screen (P1i) moves the map, which is great, but it also turns off 'follow mode'. Would it be possible to automatically return to 'follow mode' after 10 or 15 seconds of inactivity? That is: require special action ('Map - follow mode off') to turn follow mode off.	Answer
Re: Hold 'follow mode' when touching screen (Dave)	12.2.2009
Interesting idea but I don't think this is useful. When you need to resstart the follow mode, simply press the button on the side. I can imagine tht you will try to find a place on the map and then after a while the program will move back to your position and your searching is gone.	Answer
Re: Re: Hold 'follow mode' when touching screen (Leonard)	13.2.2009
I may seem over-critical on the user interface, but this idea, and the key lock, and the zoom limit, arose when using QuickGPS during 2 bicycle trips in the cold: wearing gloves. I could hardly press any buttons, pressing the wheel often scrolled it. Back to follow mode: I use 'follow mode' when active, that is: moving. In that circumstance, I shift the map to look ahead on the trail, or to look back, but then I start moving again, and regain interest in my current position. If I am really studying a map, I am usually not moving, and not in 'follow mode'.	Answer

Various (Peter Charles)	8.2.2009
Hi Dave, here's a few things for the to-do list perhaps? 1) what's the maximum file size of a map created using Map Builder and Google Maps? I've got a powerful PC with quad-core CPU, Vista 64 bit and 8 GB RAM - but I even so, I get a "script error" from Internet Explorer with an "out of memory" message when I try and create a map of Beijing with the following coordinates: Lat 40.023408 Lon 116.227798 Lat 39.776353 Lon 116.551208 Zoom = 14, not "high speed building". No additional zooms (50% etc) Can the software be made to check the file size before the map building starts and give a warning it's too big? 2) can you please add the version number to the welcome screens of both the appliaction and map builder? 3) sometimes I need to browse maps on the phone (P1i) without using Bluetooth. It's difficult though as I keep getting asked if I want to switch Bluetooth on .... and it doesn't give up when I say no! I'm using you program a lot, good work! Peter	Answer
Re: Various (Peter Charles)	13.2.2009
Thanks. Do you know the limit for map file size? I think I have a problem with my new computer or Internet Explorer settings as IE gives an "out of memory" error with files of only 400 KB, whereas with another computer, I have succesfully created maps of > 2MB! It would be good if the software gave a warning that the map would be exceeding size limits before building starts.	Answer
Re: Re: Various (Dave)	15.2.2009
It is not question of maximal allowed map size but question of memory consumed by IE ActiveX that I use. Technically it is possible to have very large map, I have one that has over 500MB and it works fine. I will try to solve the memory issue of MapBuilder soon.	Answer
Re: Various (Author)	8.2.2009
Hi Peter, thanks for your comments. Yes, you are not the first one who complains. I will try to fix this. Basically the problem is that the MapBuilder consumes a lot of memory and if you try to build a huge map, the memory may be insufficient. Ok, will try. This is possible to do - see Settings.	Answer

QuickGPSServer (Satoru)	23.1.2009
I tried out the Demo version and it worked great so I decided to buy. After registering when QuickGPS goes to connect with my GPS receiver I get an error message: Application closed Application QuickGPSServer Reason Code QuickGPSServer Reason Number 99. After reading the comments I tired typing "L" as soon as the program starts to start a log file but when I do my whole phone reboots. I am on a SE P990.	Answer
Re: QuickGPSServer (Dave)	23.1.2009
You typed the registration code incorrectly. I recommend to increase the font size when reading it, it prevents from exchanging 1 and l or O and 0. Please uninstall and install again.	Answer
Re: Re: QuickGPSServer (Satoru)	23.1.2009
Thanks for the quick reply. You were correct. It was a case of an small case of "L" which I thought was an upper case "i". They both look like verticle lines in the email. Changed the font and saw the correct letter to use. Thanks again for the quick reply and a great program.	Answer

saving waypoints (tatu)	13.11.2008
Hello, quickgps on my P1i works otherwise fine, but.. If I try to create a new waypoint happens this... -I click 'new awypoint' -I can enter name and description, etc. -I end this dialog 'Save' -Message is 'dump file created' -'application closed' Application : QuickGPS Reason: KERN-EXEC Reason Number : 3 What is wrong. This happens every time, and with all maps.	Answer

Re: saving waypoints (Dave)	13.11.2008
Thanks for reporting the problem. Unfortunately, I am not able to duplicate it. I have also checked the code but haven't found any issue in there. If you don't have any waypoints yet, can you please try to change the location of waypoints in Application/Settings/Storage for Waypoints, verify that you have directory /Document/QuickGPS in both phone memory and on memory stick?? If you don't solve it, please send an email to my email address (you can find it on the main screen of the application after it starts) and I will create a special version for you that should help us find the issue. And of couse, if we find an issue, you will get the registration for free (general rules).	Answer

Logging altitude information (Richard Willis)	12.9.2008
Hi David, Congratulations on a great and stable program. I've been using it for the last week keeping track of farmers in western Tanzania. Would it be possible to add altitude information to the waypoint log? Otherwise the program is perfect. Best wishes, Richard	Answer
Re: Logging altitude information (David)	12.9.2008
Richard, thanks but I don't fully understand. What do you call "waypoint log". Is it the waypoint or is it the tracking/loging of waypoints in GPX?? For waypoint, you can store it manually in the description, in GPX it is already automatically added.	Answer
mapbuilder (mobile)	10.9.2008
Hi david, tried your new mapbuilder today and get this error with sattelite map (relativly big, one hole city @ 18 zoom): Exception EAccessViolation in module MapBuilder.exe at0068f075. and another error with the same eaccessviolation in jscript.exe	Answer
Re: mapbuilder (Author)	10.9.2008
Oh, this zoom for the whole city??? Uff. I am afraid you ran out of memory. Unfortunately, Map Builder consumes quite a lot (respectively the part of Internet Explorer, that reads the maps). I am unable to do anything with it. But there are some solutions: Either you can use a smaller zoom (18 is too much, after some time you will see that the detail is too big, I normally use 15) or you can split the city into more parts (if they overlap, then the maps will be automatically changed in QuickGPS when you exit one and enter another one)... Please keep me posted on my email if you experience any more issues...	Answer
Map Builder (Peter Charles)	7.9.2008
I travel a lot and so I build a lot of Google maps with the Map Builder. Having to copy and paste 4 sets of map coodinates from Google Maps into Map Builder is a bit boring! Is it possible to make that automatic? Great program!	Answer
Re: Map Builder (Dave)	7.9.2008
If you mean the coordinates of left upper and right lower corner, I agree that it takes some time but do you know about anything better?? I could imagine entering the center of the map + its size but that's not much easier with lower control of the map size. So if you have any idea, please let me know, I thought about this but haven't found a better solution. Thanks.	Answer

Thanks! is it possible to see the maximum speed? would be usefull for all sports activities. please implement this into the map view and track view! Technically yes but question is how much reliable this feature could be. The problem is that in average GPS works fine but sometimes the position jumps which means (virtually) high speed but you can stand at the same place. Anyway, I'll put it to my to-do list. thats the only thing that holds me back from buyin . Ok, you can collect the money now, it will be done soon another question: if i would buy your app and then change my phone to an new one, can i get a new registration code? Normally this is not possible because the licence is bought only for one specific phone.

Access to Bluetooth receiver (Peter Charles)	5.8.2008
Hi, ggod program, keep te updates coming! Is there anything I can do to speed up the time that the program takes to get satellite access? It takes up to 10 minutes. I have a Garmin bluetooth receiver and Sony Ericsson P1i.	Answer
Re: Access to Bluetooth receiver (Dave)	5.8.2008
Thanks. Sometimes the receivers really need a lot of time. The solution can be one of these: find a place with no blocking objects in the direction to the satellites try to move (it seems like if going by car, you get the position much faster then if you're standing at the same place) reset the receiver before use, it forgets the old satellites from previous use and scans from scratch If anybody has different tips, please let us know...	Answer
Re: Re: Access to Bluetooth receiver (Jens)	13.8.2008
Re: 2.) Actually, for quite a few receivers, it is better NOT to move until you have aquired a position. It also helps to be in roughly the same place where you last turned the GPS receiver off. It remember the last position and tries to aquire the appropriate satellites first.	Answer

Geocaching (Magnus)	1.5.2008
Hi would be nice to hear how u use QuickGPS in geocaching. How do u store your waypoints? single ore in large groups? How many can be loaded at the same time? Wat is a recomended size for maps?	Answer
Re: Geocaching (Author)	1.5.2008
Hi, I don't understand the first question - how I use QuickGPS for geocaching. I simply start it and use it. How t waypoints are stored - see documentation where it is described (text file). There are no groups. Unlimited number can be loaded at the same time, you are only limited by avaiable memory. Of course, too many (thousands) will have impact on performance. There is no recommended size for maps, the size has no impact on performance.	Answer
Compass (Jan)	26.4.2008
HI! Another suggestion: A fullscreen compass with a waypoint pointer. Which also gives info about curpos(lat,long), Dist (to waypoint) and maybe speed. I think that type of view is preferable when geocaching. Keep up the good work!	Answer

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: A Wish (Author)	26.4.2008
I don't know what phone you have but most of the UIQ3 phones have a normal keyboard. So there you can press "F". Ok button is usually the one in the middle (used to select or confirm), on SE you can also press the jog button on left.	Answer
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: A Wish (Jan)	26.4.2008

Re: Re: Problem can not create ADDR file (IR)	6.4.2008
Hi! I tried to mail to you but it does not work. Now I have had time to try it again. I uninstalled the program and deleted all files. Then I installed the version from your site. Start the GPS ande then started the program. The program show GPS cordinates, then I entered the activation code. It still shows the cordinates. I make a track while I drived with my car. It works fine. Then I exit the program and powerd off ihe GPS. Then I stared the GPS again, waited a little bit and then started the program. The program shows "no GPS signal", I tried to connect to the GPS again, then it displays cannot open ADDR file. Then I get error QuickQPSserver Kern-exec 0. I tried to restart the phone, but I´ve got the same result. Hope it is possible for you to fix it. It is a nice program.	Answer
Re: Re: Re: Problem can not create ADDR file (Author)	6.4.2008
"No GPS position" means that your GPS receiver IS CONNECTED to the phone but it does not provide the GPS position yet!!! Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get the GPS position, this cannot be influenced by the program. You can reset the GPS receiver before using, in my case (Nokia) it helps. So, if the message is "No GPS position", be patient and do not do anything. Anyway, thanks for reporting the crash, I will try to duplicate and correct the bug in next version.	Answer
