ASUS P527 - GPS Data has Expired.

Hi All,
Im Rishi here from Maharashtra, India. My (GPS Catcher) GPS Data has expired in my ASUS P527. Im unable to update it. Whenever I'm trying to update via Internet (Connected to PC) or Via GPRS it gives me an error.
Process:
1. Go to GPS Catcher
2. The screen is displayed with message on it "GPS data updated on 2007/1/1. GPS data has expired. Please update immediately with "Update" button.
3. When I click on Update button it gives me error "GPS Catcher is unable to use connections! The GPS data is not updated and You need to manually update again."
I wanna know how do I get this update as Im in a need of this.
My Device Details:
ROM Version: V4.1.23-WWE
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Any help will be really appreciated. Im desperately in a need of this GPS system as I've my own Motorcycle Riding Club here in Mumbai and we visit many places here in India.
Thanks In Advance
Cheers,
Rishi

Connect the phone to PC via activesync and not as a Mass storage device. Ensure internet is available on the PC. Now launch GPS catcher from phone and update. It should update.

How to?
I have some doubts..
Does this device p527 need additional GPS application ?
If yes, which one? Satguide would do?
Which map is suitable for it to use in india.
Please someone provide step by step instructions to make GPS work.
I have Satguide with one-india Q1 map on other devices and it's so easy!

GPS Catcher??
GPS Catcher doesnot update using GPRS or active sync connectins.
My Manila weather can only update through active sync and not GPRS.
Is there any way to fix the GPS Catcher to update via GPRS. SInce if i'm travelling, its only possible to use GPRS to update.

AGPS-

I believe AGPS triangulates your location using the GSM towers.. But when you renew it thru active sync/wifi does it still helps the GPS locate you..?

The celltowers only help triangulate the phone when the satellites can't be seen. The GPS does most of the work.

you get QuickGPS info off wifi/activesync(or even 3G data), and this info gives you moon/earth almanac that allows you to calculate the your position given SATELLITE info.... if you don't have almanac(or out of date), you have to download if from the satellite, which means a 30s lock will be extended to 1+ minute to download... bad connection to satellite means longer
AGPS is downloading data from celltowers(which have a fixed and known location) ... this requires data from 3G(or EDGE)... the GPS program, if not having a valid 3D GPS lock, will use that AGPS info to give you an estimated location, or help validify the incoming GPS satellite info
Google Maps (the WM app), when connected to WiFi, will also attempt to get your location from the known IP address(well, if you have a location aware browser i.e. latest version of FF or Chrome, maps.google.com has a button for you to get the estimated location of your computer).... this though, isn't implemented in most WM GPS apps, so not as useful if you don't use Google Maps

[Q] Location Data?

Hi, there has been much in the press about Apple collecting users location data from the GPS location, cell site id, and if seen WIFI BSSID, for whatever purpose,but I want to know where Google keep this data on an Android phone?
Can anyone tell me where to find this data on Android.What is it stored under?
Thanks in advance

GPS Not working

Hi,
Whenever I try to use GPS it shows "Waiting for Location" Not able to determine your cuurent location. I am able to browse sites so net is working
I am not able to use GPS at all
What needs to be done now ?
Thanks,
Milind

I have the same issue. It's very slow to determine your location at the first time.

root your phone, install FasterFix and change NTP server by your actual location(for me Europe), then install GPSAids and select "Other" in Setup wizard and download GPS aiding data...for me this helps...try

does your compass work?

[Q] AGPS over WIFI on Android?

Hi all,
I'm going on holiday and would like to use my Android (Galaxy Tab) for offline navigation. I'd like to keep my GSM module switched off all the time to avoid data roaming charges. I'll do my surfing etc over WIFI where available.
I'd like to use AGPS for a quick satellite fix.
Can I download AGPS satellite data over WIFI, or does this require a GSM (GPRS/UMTS) connection?
How do I manually trigger AGPS download on Android?*
Help is much appreciated!

* On the Windows Mobile devices of old there used to be a program calles "QuickGPS" or similar that would download AGPS satellite data, but I don't see any such option on Android - - ?

Android GPS requires a LIVE data connection to function with realtime navigation, if u are just using Wi-Fi this won't work.
On the other hand, assuming u have a hefty sdcard in your tablet, u could use "sygic GPS" from market, that WILL allow offline GPS.

icenight89,
I'm using Navigon, which keeps map data on board, no data connection required there. Sygic is another option. Google Navigation does require a live connection, but Navigon, Sygic and others do not. Storage required for on-board map data is not all that massive btw, my Navigon maps of Europe require ~ 2 GB.
My question was more on the point of assisted-GPS satellite data. How do I download current satellite data so that my GPS knows where to look (thus getting a quicker satellite fix) if I want to avoid a mobile data connection via GSM?
Once I have a GPS fix, offline satnav is no problem.
Any ideas there?
N.

Android downloads agps data automatically, there is no way to "force" an update. U could try connecting to wifi and then running android nav (google maps/navigation) with GPS enabled, that would cache the new data I presume. That's your only option really
On a side note, I consider 2gb for one sole app a lot, whether its maps or not lol

Um, GPS Test software lets you do this.

Five years later, google lands me on this thread because I too was asking "can I update AGPS over wifi?". (Empirical evidence: I can, because at the trail-head I get a lock in about 10 seconds. On the other hand, maybe it didn't update, and the GPS hardware/antenna is just that good. )
And since answers were given without answering the question, I will keep looking.
But as for GPS Test, it is essential. Prior to using any nav app, I open GPS Test and watch it get a lock, or not, because the satellite display shows me exactly what is going on, as opposed to the nav apps, which just sit there maybe getting a lock maybe not and you have no effing idea why.
