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

[Guest MadMatt2002]

There's an auto sync option tucked away somewhere IIRC, but i've got into the habit of syncing before I exit.

Has anyone bought the pro version? I'm tempted to plough my first 'earnings' back into the pro version to get WiFi positioning.

I've got autosync selected.... strange....

Will try it again on the way home.

In the CamerAware integrated version i'm going to set it to sync automagically every 5 minutes I think...

But as you already have GPS, what advantages would that give you?

Geek factor? ;P

[Guest tsutton]

Are people finding that the data is auto-synced to the server, or are they having to manually sync?

My data only appears on navizon.com if I do press "sync"

What data settings is anyone using?

I am seeing the same issue however to be honest, the wording says "Auto Sync daily" so it sync one a day if that's what it meant.

modaco group created on navizon.

Group name = modaco password = modaco

It's not private at the moment.

Any better now?

Not all my devices have GPS, and sometimes I might want to do things like 'find my nearest' without having to wait for a GPS fix (where a Navizon approximate fix would be sufficient).

Anyone from here?

Sorry Tony - that was me!

Saw from an earlier post that you had signed up, was just seeing how the buddy system work!

Apologies!

[Guest tsutton]

LOL, no worries. :(

CamerAware is now logging APs and Cells completely from within the application (without Navizon even installed on the device), final hurdle is that when I call the sync it is returning failed. Nearly there :D

P

[Guest tsutton]

Now the question: On Navizon - on the phone, it is showing as "Tracker Status: Disabled"

What it is and how do I enable it?

[Guest MadMatt2002]

Think that is a feature on the premium version

UPDATE: I think if you go to the map view, select buddies, and then Send Location ????

Correct.

These are the kind of news posts I love. It's not new NEWS per se, but it's an interesting conversation starter :(

Gotcha, working fine. But don't think I will use it. (or on some day I might use it)

[Guest tsutton]

I am tempted to go for a "drive around" over lunch. :(

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I reckon on the drive thru London I earned more than I spent in petrol, so overall had a profitable trip :(

[Guest tsutton]

Has anyone tried using the "Local database" and working offline?

How do I transfer the data when the phone do not have GPRS or WiFi access? I guess I could use it and when I'm done with it, I use ActiveSync to transfer the data?

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Use local database, then hit the manual 'Sync' option when you want to Sync I think!

P

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

This is what you would do when you are abroad for example.

I'm looking forward to all the points I can rack up when I drive to the alps :(

P

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

I also need to retrace all my routes with my O SIM, my Voda SIM, my 3 SIM... etc. etc. :(

In fact, almost worth signing up for those free PAYG SIMs to drop in your device and get points no?

P

[Guest tsutton]

This ideas are getting too crazy. lol

[Guest leedsrgaskell]

I don't know if I'm being a bit backward here but can I get this straight;

Navizon doesn't require GPS to find your position assuming you are in their coverage area, but do you require a GPS device to tag Access points and Cells? (Yeah, still haven't got one!)
