Feel the GPS Navigation on Your Cellphone
Category: Cellphone Application -
An old proverb “shy to ask question, you will lose your way†may be is not relevant for pilot and ship’s captain. To whom they will ask? As a solution they are equipped with sophisticated navigation system such as Global Positioning Service (GPS), a digital guidance that enables us to read location and to direct our trip to the specified destination.
Now, a satellite-based instrument has also reached cellular phone. It is available in form of build-up tool that is sold individually and also integrated within the cellular phone. Today, it’s not only a pilot experiencing the sophistication of GPS.
Download Map Process
Step 1
Download and install Nokia Maploader in PC (can be downloaded here). The installation process need you to install Mirosoft Net Framework 2.0 too.
Step 2
Then install Smart2go in your cellphone. This software is compatible only with Symbian S60 3ed edition.
Step 3
Connect the cellphone to your PC in “Fata Transfer” modus, so it could be automatically readen as a new drive. Or you can just plug off your memory card and attach it to “Memory Card reader”
Step 4
Activate Nokia Map Unloader. Choose Region and Country to determine the map to be uploaded. For example, Indonesia. So, you can choose ‘Asia’ > Indonesia. Press plus (+) symbol to indicate that you choose the map. Add map of other countries if you want to.
Step 5
Click ‘download’. Downloading process needs Internet access, because the map database is not stored in PC, but in Nokia’s main computer. After that, you are ready to use it.
Testing the Navigation
Now, we try to use Smart2go as trip guidance. For example, a trip from Los Angeles to Washington DC. Follow these steps:
Step 1
Activate Smart2go (Maps) application of your cellular phone. When at the beginning of activation your cellular phone detects Bluetooth GPS hardware (searching device), just cancel it, except you have one.
Step 2
Click ‘Option’, choose ‘Plan route’.
Step 3
Make certain the starting point, for example Jakarta. Here are the method, direct the pointer to ‘starting point, choose ‘Option’> ‘From map’. Direct to US map using navigation button to left and right or up and down. (See picture).
Use asterisk (*) button to zoom in the picture and fence (#) button to zoom it out. For Los Angeles city then zoom in on about the location. After you see it (Los Angeles), click ‘Select’.
Step 4
Set the destination, for example Washiongton DC. The method is nearly the same to the Step 3. Now you have set ‘Starting point’ and ‘Destination’.
Step 5
Choose ‘Option’ > Show route’. You can get the route from Nokia by accessing GPRS (online). It means GPRS setting should be correct.
Here, the picture shows the route to pass by. The trip guidance is divided into several spaces. For example, from 0 – 25 km, straight, then, turn left, and so on.
The direction display can be adjusted to your desire, for instance in the form of map. Even you can show the trip simulation.
It’s great, right? Want the more sophisticated one? Just buy Nokia Wireless GPS Module. By using this aid, your position will appear very accurate in the form of blinking point. So, when you move, the point also appears move in consistent with your trip direction.
That’s not so much. In some countries, SAmart2Go feature has been used to find such public spots as ATM, bookstores, restaurants, gas stations, etc. Have fun!
