Cell + WiFi positioning from Navizon, plus make money on the move!

[Guest blewer]

if you're going away and you still want to clock points up then open Navizon then tap on Menu, Options and then tap on the Data tab and set locator to (local database).

These settings are 'permanent' and you can change back when you return but the last bit you need to do before you drive off is to open the options/data page again and tap Work Offline then tap OK and tap Start when you are ready and when you get to your destination tap Stop.

When you return home of if you come to an WiFi hotspot open Navizon then tap Menu, Sync and that will upload your points to Navizon :)

I do this all the time as I am on Virgin and the data rates are crap but I get loads of minutes and texts for peanuts so I always work offline.

Exactly what I do, works every time ;-)

I guess this isn't supposed to happen:

Excellent - thanks for this. I think i've got these settings anyway, but i'll check before i go.

Thanks also Paul for confirming CA does the same.

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Well, CA TELLS Navizon to do the same, I would really be grateful if someone could test the scenario and confirm it works :)

Might be a stupid question this, but how do you get the rewards from them?

I've built up a few already but when I try to save or redeem using my paypal account it just says you need to add a PayPal account yada yada...

[Guest Wolfie24]

Thanks for the help guys, cant wait to try it with my gps receiver when I get home! Im glad to hear Scott was in the same situation and that the update worked for him, that gives me a lot of confidence. You guys know what your talking about :) I'll keep you posted, I should be able to test it Monday morning :D

Thanks tsutton, this c500 patch update worked a treat, now runs like a dream!!!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I just hit redeem (after hitting save to save my paypal details first) and it works?

Hi Guys,

Quick Question.. Because I'm now leaving my Wifi on I keep getting prompted to join a wireless Network as I drive around..

Any ideas how to stop the Pocket PC (Touch Cruise) from prompting if it can connect to a wireless network ?

Thanks,

Mark

I was told to select "Dont show this message again" ... but it still does popup!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Hmm, I selected that and i'm sure it DOESN'T pop up?

:)

P

[Guest tsutton]

Mine doesn't popup.

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

Yup ... every time it sees a new network then it pops up.

Actually that might be incorrect, I need to check that statement. The "dont show me this again" message might mean "Dont show me any more popups during this usage of wifi". Thus I dont get notifications again until I restart the wifi stack.

But I do recall telling it not tell me again, yet it still does!

Bloody inconsistent devices !!! lol

[Guest WearTheFoxHat]

I think I might be heading for a hard reset, and then just install the applications which work and are useful!

(Another one which doesn't work is SMS delivery notification .. I have enabled it in several places ... such as in the messaging section ... kaiser tweak ... and also the SMS notification fix application) .. yet I still don't get delivery reports as standard!

Thats what I tried - it just doesn't save my details :)

4 rewards awaiting now too!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Their site is a bit dodgy sometimes, try a different browser perhaps?

P

[Guest ferryrich]

Tried with IE7 and Firefox :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Not helpful then! :)

Time to mail support :D

Try this:-

Start

Settings

Sounds & Notifications

Select the 'Notifications' tab

In the 'Event' box select 'Wireless network detected'

Untick all the boxes (I think 'Play sound' and 'Display message' are on by default)

OK

'X' to close settings

Hope this helps.

Hi

I entered my PayPal e-mail address in the box and selected redeem.

I then got an e-mail from PayPal asking me to verify the transfer from Mexens.

Next time I redeemed a reward I hit save before the redeem button and I got a message to say "Paypal account saved".

This time I did not get a mail from PayPal and the reward was transfered.

Hope this helps.

I'll bear that in mind!

It turns out my problem was actually a bug introduced yesterday and has been fixed in the last half hour or so.

So thanks to Navizon support, who acted quickly :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Here's hoping they fix the 'leaderboard stats' next, which show completely blank atm!

P

[Guest blewer]

When in Navizon press 'Menu' then 'Options'.

On my M700 'Extras' appears as left soft key - then tick or untick WiFi Pop Ups

Hope this works for you

[Guest Fozza]

I know the stats are down buy hey I just got my 7th reward!!!

Ok Paul I know that ain't impressive to you but it is to me :)

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Nice work!

I think i've just claimed my 33rd... wish they'd fix the 'stats' page!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Are you using the Navizon client or CA?
