using the GPS and google maps navigation, it is inaccurate

k123456

Have LG Optimus one running And 2.2

I find that when using the GPS and google maps navigation, it is inaccurate

Can be 300-500 metres out, which means as a nav device , almost useless

Is the fault of the GPS receiver or maps ?

what you're saying suggests to me that the gps is disabled on your phone and it's using cell towers for location. are you sure gps is active?

Hi think GPS was active and green, so looks like picking up a signal

Will try next time in car, and make sure GPS is on (maybe I didn't have it on LOL)

I had (and am still having) a problem like this with my Hero. GPS active, but not actually picking up satellites.

Try reinstalling your radio, it fixed it for me, briefly.

That I will have to direct you to someone else about, I don't know the LG Optimus.

On the Hero, it was just a case of downloading the file (found on modaco.com), transferring it to the phone, and reboot holding the home and power button and select apply.

But as I said, the Optimus could be a different kettle of spuds altogether.

This might be an obvious one, but make sure you're using it outside and not just testing it indoors. All GPS devices (sat navs, phones, etc) need to be able to see the sky to get the GPS signal.

NONSENSE.

I have a HTC hero and a Desire HD. The stock GPS on Android 2.1, Floyo 2.2 and Froyoo 2.2 works perfectly- including google maps and copilot.


First off...GPS wont work in doors.

Secondly...is GPS active?

I frequentyl use google navigation ( and google maps) for turn by turn navigation. Theres nothing wrong with it and i never had to update any radio.

Iv used it for over a year and its spot on anywhere in Ireland once i have a GPS lock. ( it even works indoors sometimes.)

My experience is with HTC devices....if it is with LG then maybe you should change the title of the thread to demonstrate this.

Why so aggressive?

He's already said GPS is active. I explained I had a similar issue. I said how I fixed it. Well done, you haven't had a problem. We have. We're trying to fix this problem.

There is nothing in the thread title saying that it was a HTC problem, so why the need to change it?
