3 miles from morecambe i showed if the app and it finding my location 3
miles away in morecambe , because it got my location from the wifi access
point which must have been connected to a exchange in norecambe :(

Yup, that's true.
I don't think that is quite the problem, GPS has got every chance to
work, the problem is the starting time, I don't want it to start
thinking about a location when I do something that needs one. I want it
to already have sorted it out before I ask for it. The principal should
be "don't make th

so, if I ensure my phone has current location by running a maps
application that continuously updates, then close that, and drive a few
miles, get out and chill for a while, giving the phone plenty of time to
get it's act together, then take some photos, then visit

Hi Thomas,
These are very good news!
By the way, about the accuracy of getting an old position update, I missed
the fact that the timestamp could be used to validate the usability of the
position update. That's enough for the client app.
Best Regards,
Felipe.

We will introduce an API for applications that allows
navigation/tracker apps to enable monitoring of positions. ETA is OTA
11, OTA 10 is too close right now.
Exposure to Qt/QML will happen similar to the BlackBerry backends,
with a property "monitor" on the position source.

Hi,
I think I didn't get Alan's message clearly, but makes me think that this
dummy position given by the location service as the first update should
carry a flag saying "take it with a grain of salt, this is the last I
checked" which in the Qt context could be achieved setting the

It would be just good to have the feature of tracking or wiping our
phones if lost.
I know its a bit stupid if you leave your phone at some random location
but accidents do happen

it isn't really about that, it is about providing less broken location
data to applications that ask for it. The current situation is that if
an application requests location data it gets given random coordinates
of somewhere you may have been to in the last week or so. Then it thinks
