I was out there for about 10 minutes at the longest attempt. Not so
long in the other location I tried. The taxi journey I also tested it out on
was about 20mins, although I'm not sure whether a moving target is good if
you haven't established a signal before you get moving.

Did you give it more than a couple of minutes before you gave up? I had to
stand outside my office for about 5 or 6 minutes before I got a signal the
first time I tried to use Wayfinder after installing it. But it's locked
onto the satellites within a minute or so subsequently.

I've tried it in a couple of different places, as well as en route
somewhere in a taxi. They were all suburban areas, so perhaps too built up?
I thought it was the lack of signal that was causing the problem, but it's
good to have that confirmed, even if I don't know my German from my Swedish!

Have you tried getting a signal in different areas with the same result? I'm
wondering if you're in a GPS blackspot where even though you're receiver is
active you're not picking up a signal from the satellites. In my experience
you only get a list of points of interest in Sweden when you haven't got a
signal.

Subject: [access-uk] Wayfinder problems.
Evening,
I've recently installed Wayfinder Access on my N95. So far, I
haven't been able to get it working and hope somebody can help.
I'm using the integrated GPS, which is switched on. I know an
external GPS would offer a better signal, but I'm wary of buying one in
case it's something else at fault.
When I load Wayfinder, the Settings menu confirms that GPS is
connected. Looking at the Info tab suggests that there is No GPS connected
though. Certainly, no relevant information on latitude, longitude etc. shows
up.
A couple of times, whilst waiting for Wayfinder to find itself, I've
tried to refresh the list of Nearby points etc. This seems to produce the
same information every time and in German. In case of doubt, I'm in Bristol
and my phone language is English...
The only other useful bit of information I can offer at this stage,
is that when Wayfinder is opened, a red cross briefly appears, then
disappears. Wayfinder support asked about this and I had to ask for sighted
help to confirm, so not sure how relevant this will be for other VI folks.
If anyone can suggest something I might try, I'd be grateful.
Thanks.
Léonie.
