Everyone claims that GPS now works on ji6. I still can't get a lock. I don't use wireless networks and don't want to. I want my standalone GPS to lock...
I'm wondering if someone could please provide me the stock ji6 supl and application settings in lbstestmode for ji6 so I can try to figure out why I can't lock.

Ok I'm reading to pick up one of these bluetooth GPS receivers and get my nook performing GPS duties. What software package is best? As I understand it, there is also some other little piece of software that I need to get the bluetooth info to port into the GPS software. Any ideas?

I have had success running CM7 on internal memory with CoPilot Live USA ($4.99 from the market) in conjunction with the free Bluetooth GPS Provider app also in the market. You can't beat that--$4.99 for a 7 inch GPS. I've taken it on a 500 mile trip and it performed perfectly. Stay away from Sygic Aura--it doesn't allow for mock locations.

Does CoPilot Live require a data connection, or can one download all the mapsets to SD and run completely offline?

Once you download the maps, you're done. No data connection needed. However, I'm not sure how one would pull GPS location from a device with no GPS onboard?

Read original post, he bought an external GPS blue tooth unit which he connects to the nook.
I just use my phone hooked up through an audio jack. I'm lucky enough to live where I don't have to worry about not having a data signal.
Disregard my previous lack of common sense. I can't see the forest for the trees sometimes. I need to look into this Bluetooth adapter. Sounds convenient.
I also have heard there is an additional bit of software needed for this to work as eluded to in my first post. Anyone know what I'm referring to? I will have to check out that CoPilot software.
You need the Bluetooth gps provider app. It's free in the market.

I was just about to buy this app, but the reviews don't look great. You've had good success? Will Google maps store maps? I thought they had implemented an "offline" feature. Are there any other apps that store maps so you don't need to use data?

Copilot is usable - but it does have a bug that requires a wifi connection when you first enter a street address and it does not call out street names while navigating
Google maps works but u need a wifi connection to download maps while driving

I haven't experienced the bug of having to have the wifi connection on when entering a street address. And as far as not calling out the street names, it does tell you when to take a right (take the next turn right in .3 miles) or left or exit, etc. The street name is displayed on the Nook, so it is quite sufficient. If it called out even the street names what need for the beautiful Nook display?
I use Google Navigator on my phone, same would apply to the NC of course.. Online maps are great until you need to route somewhere when you have no signal.
A few weeks ago I routed to a back-country location, got there no problem. Leaving however, I had no idea how to get back out as I had no cell signal. Had to bust out the old TomTom One from in the trunk.
I haven't looked into CoPilot, but I've heard various bad things about it.. Price is right though, if it's usable. On WM6 I paid lots of money for TomTom + NA maps.
OK, so I bought the CoPilot app, but it just tells my device IMEI number is invalid and won't let me proceed. Any ideas how to get around this?

Well that sucks.. Piracy measure I suspect, and our IMEI is of course fake since it's not a phone.
I've seen others claiming that it's working for them, so I'm not ready to give up just yet.

Calla969,
What were the installation steps you took after you purchased CoPilot live? Was it the CoPilot Live USA version?
What ROM are you using?
Mine installed fine and is working as we speak. I originally installed CoPilot USA on the SD card with experimental bluetooth rom. Then when I switched over to CM7 on internal memory I restored app and data through titanium backup. I'm currently running it on CM7 tablet tweaks RC1. I'm using a Garmin 10x receiver, bluetooth, mock locations, and satellites enabled, GPS bluetooth provider apk.
*** Edit: Found the problem. It is the most recent update from the market. I got the same IMEI number error. Just restoring now with the previous version (8.2.504). Yes, that's it. Works with this version. Maybe there is a way you can get this version of the apk? PM? ***
Pm sent.
I'm running the latest tablet tweaks version of cm7.

Bump. Any suggestions for the best bluetooth receiver to use with the NC? Maybe its time for a NC GPS sub-forum. Just a suggestion?

I doubt any of them would differ... I get the same range on both of mine on phone and NC.... Both of them mere inches on the NC, where I get 3-4 feet using my phone.
Personally I like my two GPSes for different reasons... My Holux 236 for its accuracy and robustness. And my Columbus V900 for its built-in datalogger, albiet it being about 4 meters consistently off from its real location and -80 meters in actual Altitude.
CoPilot USA
I sent a trouble ticket into CoPilot USA when I got the IMEI error. They dropped a new version about 3 days ago that fixed that problem. New version is 8.2.0.590. When I can get Bluetooth talking to my GPS receiver, CoPilot USA does work. (I strongly prefer TomTom but the price is right for CoPilot USA!) My ROM PhireMod 6.0
BLUETOOTH QUESTION: What Bluetooth application do you use? I’ve tried BlueGPS for Android (1.2.1) -Error msg “Too amy connection problems”; Bluetooth GPS (Googoo Android V 0.5.5p1) -Error msg “Service Discovery Failed”; and Bluetooth GPS Provider (Works most of the time – but seems unpredictable). I’m interfacing a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
So, is "Bluetooth GPS Receiver" from Market the best Bluetooth App?

Hi!
I managed to get my other Android phone working as a Bluetooth mouse. Now, my tp(32gb) has gps. however, I would like to use Navigon. The problem that I'm facing : Navigon needs an imei for verification. Any ideas how I to solve this problem?
Thanks for ur suggestions
Sent from my Touchpad using Tapatalk
well.. first of all.. afaik only 64GB-Touchpad is 4g-capable and therefore should have also GPS included..
I too have a 32GB-Touchpad.. but there is no GPS..therefore previous Facebook-versions FC'ed due to location problems...
why navigon needs the IMEI idk either.. interesting approach though..
but what if you try to tether you'r GPS-signal from your phone to your TP?
maybe if you use your phone's gps you could use the IMEI from your phone?
I suppose you're running Android?
I know you want Navigon, but I have Sygic running on my touchpad (running on Android). I have a bluetooth gps connected with a program Bluetooth Gps Provider. I just have the states I want pre-downloaded to the TP, and the thing works great.
If you were referring to Web-os, then I don't know.
I use Android on my tp. On my mb525 I'm using Navigon and I like it. From this phone I'm tethering the GPS. I will give sygic a try... Might take a while with about 100Kb/s and 2.6gb
But emulating an imei for the tp would be interesting. Any ideas how this can be realized?

afaik emulating imei is illegal?
there was an app for the nook color which generated a fake IMEI from the serial number of the device in order to allow some apps to function. To my knowledge, duplicating an IMEI is illegal but generating a fake one should work.
Will this work? My TP won't be here until Tuesday to try it out myself.
GPS over BT: app running on phone, allows phone GPS to act as the GPS receiver, and sends this info over BT to the TP.
Bluetooth GPS mouse: app running on TP, enable "mock locations" in settings.
I would test this with Google Maps, Sygic, etc, running on TP.
This would allow my wifi-only TP to utilize my phone's GPS, much the same way I will use my rooted HTC EVO for its data connection while in a vehicle. If this works, I will be good to go.

Also look at TetherGPS. Works over WiFi, you won't even have to enable Bluetooth. I am using my Epic as a hotspot and it works great.
Yep, that looks like a good one too. However, I think I'd prefer a solution that uses only Bluetooth since I think that will preserve battery life on the phone.

I have just tried this solution on my 10" archos 101. Works like a dream - so much so - I am now second guessing if to get the Prime as this was one of my main uses
I use TASKER app to automate as the solution is a bit 'clunky'
Thanks to the OP who suggested this !
Thank you!

Hi I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with GPS and google maps attempting to locate current location? With both options under settings ≥ location services enabled for GPS and using my WiFi at home I am unable to retrieve my current location it just says your current location is temporarily unavailable, so though id see if anyone else has the same issue.
Im using 10.1.C.0.370 firmware.

Hey man, I have the WiFi version and I noticed that the stock Navigation app sometimes has problems finding my location compated to my Samsung phone. I was on the road last week traveling between France and Germany and on some occasions I had to use phone to get directions because the tablet would simply not get any GPS signal. On other occasion it would work. It seems to be pretty random. I'll post if I find more about this.
Hi thanks for the info, ive been messing around with it some more since i made this thread and this morning i was finally able to get a GPS signal and get google maps to zoom in on my current location but i had to go into settings > location services and disable Google's location service and turn off my wifi so it was just the GPS running. But after doing so i re-enabled the settings and turned WiFi back on and it worked fine lol.
maybe its just a bug in the software i don't know but your right it does seem spotty at the best of times.

Ive seen this as well. I also noticed the weather widget never updates location despite being set to auto refresh.
