FAQ

1. Which Bluetooth GPS devices are supported?
The application has been tested with Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS module, but any Bluetooth enabled GPS module known to work with your phone should work. Most of the GPS modules have been designed primarily for car navigation use, therefore their performance in low speed (e.g. walking) may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

2. How do I install the application?
There are two options: a) use phone browser to access this page and click installation link at the bottom of the page or b) download the installation package to your computer and perform the installation using PC Suite

3. My track plot has odd jumps and/or the measured distance seems to be too big.
Some GPS receiver are more susceptible to positioning signal strength variations than others. Poor visibility to satellites may cause the calculated position to wonder around, increasing the apparent traveled distance. The situation can be especially challenging in urban canyons (tall buildings blocking the satellite view). User should position the GPS device so that it has clear view to the sky.
