I bought my Real Time GPS Tracker for teen tracking at http://www.gpsteentracking.com. I noticed that a simular product is at http://www.ggppss.com. They seem to be close in features and price. I bought mine to monitor my teens driving speeds. They are also good for monitoring the whereabouts of a teens vehicle via a home computer….how cool.

You can use any external GPS module with your nokia. I use a Holux GPSlim 436, which works amazingly (It’s a better spec than Nokia’s & cheaper)

There are bugs in the GPS firmware with 3rd party GPS bluetooth devices on the E65 phone. In my case after the first pairing, my phone looses the ability to pair with any device after that. I am using a “cellular line 44 channel receiver”. This device kills bluetooth completely, and only a hard reset clears the fault. I am afraid we need to wait to see if Nokia acknowledges there is a problem, and then hope for a firmware upgrade. See

To Matej:
I have the same problem as you, SportsTracker works first time, but not after that. The same goes for the built-in application “Navigator” that shows GPS info. My solution so far is to remove the bluetooth connection in “Connect.->Bluetooth”, view “Paired Devices”. When I remove the pairing, SportsTracker works one more time.
SportsTracker don’t reconnect to my GPS if I turn it on and off though, so this workaround won’t work in the long run.
If anyone find a solution to this, please e-mail me.

regards

Hi all

I have the same problem like Max and mtlman. When I first installed SportsTracker it worked with GPS, now I have another GPS which works great with other applications but SportsTracker always shows No GPS. I tried to uninstall and reinstall sw but nothing ???

Any help ?

Hi Raymasky,

No path was visible for me either. Only the placemarks/waypoints.
Apperently there is a known bug with Google Earth in DirectX mode.
Changing the line width of the path from 4 to 1 solved it for me.
(Right click the path->Properties->Style,Color tab)

I have a Nokia E61 phone (with updated software)with a Nokia LD-3W Bluetooth GPS module. Installed sports tracker v1.42. The application doesn’t ask me to active the GPS and it runs without connection. It worked only the first time. I tryed to uninstall the software and install it again, to active the bluetooth before and many others test, but without results. My GPS works fine with other application like tomtom.
Could someone help me?

Got big problems with my sports tracker and ld 3w gps it sporadicly loose conn so it autopaus even if i walk quickly, and it shows really weird speed, like over 35km/h sometimes, im not that fast

Is my gps faulty and i should change it perhaps ? It shows like 5 satelites connected but still it works really bad when you walk, its updating like every 10 seconds or something ? ‘
If you can answer any of these please email me or write a comment here please. ientity@hotmail.com

Nokia has just released a new version of the Sports Tracker (v.1.42). I did not have time to test it yet - but it seems to integrate a way to do gps filtering and a setting change the measurment units to miles from metric to imperial and nautical.

Hi Raymasky,
That appeared automatically. I didn’t do anything to the file. Just imported it as is.
Cheers

I bought on eBay an i-blue 737 for about 45€, it works seamlessly with my E61.

You can check on ebay for a bluetooth GPS, with an MTK chipset or a Sirf-III chipset: they are more or less of the same sensitivity (I can keep it in my pocket and run below the trees without losing satellites!), the MTK chipset has about 24h of battery life, Sirf-III is about 12h.

There is an interesting review here: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=81990
