I found the page to by it from in the end, I've found loads of playces to download it from but i think that www.symbian-guru.com is the only place that i could find to by it from. I'm sure someone will correct me if this is ron. As far as the program goes i found the alarm features hard to understand what the point of them was, but i readthe easy to understand help file and understand now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx>

To be fair, the Paypal bit was easy, in that once you are directed to the
Paypal page and assuming you have an account and all that.  You just enter
your password; confirm the details and pay.

It was the stuff you had to do on the vendors site that was a bit complex.

I'm still waiting for their email or call to get the software activated.

Hope it is easier for you and it might be on the PC though, I'm not sure
how.

Cheers.

Has anyone tried to buy this yet?

I have and it is a bit of a hassle so far:

1.  I downloaded the trial to my PC; copied the file to my phone and
installed it.

2.  Had a play with it, (seems like you get a 10 day trial) and
decided I quite liked it.

3.  Went to the menu to buy it and was taken to the online shop.

4.  Eventually got to the right bit and wanted to pay by Paypal.  At
this point the info said you would need to email them if you wanted to
pay in this way but, the combo box had a paypal choice so I used it.
You had to enter quite a bit of info which is normally not the case
when electing to pay by paypal such as a billing address and various
contact details and your phone imei code.

5.  Having confirmed that the details were correct, I just clicked the
paypal button and paid.

6.  Was then told that I would receive an email with a code to
register with.

7.  Received 1 email to say my order was being processed and another
to say that they tried to call me and could I fill in a form with my
contact number.

Like I say, there may be good reason why they need some of the info
but, it is a bit frustrating when we are used to the immediacy of
downloading a trial; liking it; clicking buy; entering payment details
and the product being activated.

Dono, perhaps I am just having a moan!

Hi folks,

Here is the link to the company who make GPS action.

http://www.symbianguru.com

It looks good, but I have only looked at it for 10 minutes.  It doesn't
look
as comprehensive as Mini GPS in that I can't see if you could send an SMS
when you reach a certain location, but I will check this out before
reporting back.  Looks good though.

All the best

Steve

Hi Joseph,

I get GPS on a train.  What receiver do you have?

I must admit, you don't get it in a tunnel, but most of the time I get it.

All the best

Steve

Hi
good program, i've only been using it for about an hour or so, but I don't
understand how the alarm feature is ment to work. I'd like to try and use
it

on the train because getting a gps signal is impossible on a train.

This message may be of interest to people who have used Mini GPS or GSM
Navigator.  With these programmes you could perform actions when your
phone
was in range of a transmitter or base station.  You can do things like
sound
an alarm, change profile, Bluetooth actions or some others that I can't
think of at the moment.

Although this worked well you couldn't put it to a very local location
due
to the range a transmitter has.  There is a new on out now called GPS
Action.  I have had it on my phone now for about 2 minutes and it looks
like
it will work with talks.  The added advantage of this programme over the
others is that you can set your location using the GPS positioning.
