Hi Mark,
GSM Navigator is loads better than this one. I have it working on the N82,
even sending a text. Shame GSM doesn't do GPS.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve, you can't send a text message when you reach a location but I
couldn't ever get that feature to work on my N82 anyway. You can't label
the transmitters either. I think it depends on what you want from each
programme. If you want to know how many transceivers you can get in to or
how far the range is then you need mini gps or gsm navigate ror what ever it
is called. You can't do as many actions with this new one but obviously the
location detection is much better. So if you are on a bus you could mark
the point not far from the bus stop and next time you will get an alarm.
Don't su me though if you miss your stop because you didn't have any gps
signal.
What is nice about this programme is that you can set rules for when you
would like the action to work. Shame they didn't put this feature in the
other programmes.

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.
