Do any of you know of any actual working getLocation() samples?
I have the latest firmware upgraded 5800 with GPS enabled and am getting nowhere with the getLocation() functionality? I have tried the various samples on Forum Nokia.

cheers

Hi Alesandro,

Looking at the white paper, its going to be great to be able to use all of these new functions.

I expect that the phone will have to have an on board compass or will it work with without one?

I have looked at some of the very cool android apps that let you look through the camera and see locations tagged, which I think are brilliant. The only way to do this is to have a gps position and a direction in order to get the true location view of what the camera is seeing. Since android devices have compass built in they can do this.

I’m looking forward to trying something out like this when the next gen phones come out.

Mark

I hope they

I do not if they will provide these apis to other platforms, maybe with a firmware upgrade? Not sure.
