Re: Altimeter for iPhone

There are several altimeter apps for the iPhone. The one I would choose would be the Sichtwerk one: (this site is in German) This simple app gives you your latitude and longitude in DMS (degrees, minutes, and seconds), as well as your altitude i

Re: iPhone/GPS

Or you can use one of the many turn-by-turn GPS Navigation apps like Tom Tom or Navigon or MetroView etc etc. Just go to the navigation section in the App Store. I have used Navigon a fair bit in the past and it compares very well with my Garmin Nuvi 7600 dedicated GPS. -Mart Sent from my i

Re: iPhone/GPS

MotionX GPS allows me to load maps whilst connected to the network for viewing later when there is no network. You can only load a limited range/resolution of maps. Tim On 11/06/2011, at 11:06 AM, cm wrote: > > Hi Stuart, > > What may have happened is that the GPS was working but you wer

Re: iPhone/GPS

Hi Stuart, What may have happened is that the GPS was working but you were not able to fetch the maps. GPS works by directly contacting a so-called constellation of 30 or so satellites that are in special orbits so that 4 to 10 are always visible. The constellation was put in place by the US D

Re: ADSL2 Download speeds

Hi Michael, John, Stephen, I was trying to follow this thread; Michael originally posted about his ADSL2+ download speed, then John replied mentioning ADSL2 speeds. There is a difference between ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ Broadband. There is also many reasons why download speeds can vary for differe

Altimeter for iPhone

I see that Altimeter is reviewed in the latest Macworld magazine for June. It was also reviewed the Macworld site in April. A more detailed review and did not appear to be very accurate. Is Altimeter the only application that measures altitude? Are others ore accurate? Stuart Breden

iPhone/GPS

I visited the Scotia Sanctuary that is between Mildura and Broken Hill on the boarder between NSW and SA. AWC needs more donors. I was told that it may be a bit difficult to find so wanted to use the GPS on my iPhone. Once out of mobile range from Wentworth no GPS coverage. Does that

Since I moved from Woodbridge (a very old suburb) 18 months ago to Jane Brook (a new suburb) my download speed fell from 600 cps to 30 cps. I was with Westnet. I contacted them several times regarding this and was told that there was nothing that they could do about it. I discovered this was be

Following Ronni's words of wisdom on preparing for Lion I had a look at my applications with System Profiler. A number are marked as "Native (preferred) or Classic" What exactly does this mean? For example, Corel Painter 8 is so marked and runs happily in 10.5.8 Leopard. I am not looking

Re: Westnet Invoices: Customer service is an Oxymoron

And I can match that story. I got really pissed off with iinet, switched to Westnet after many years - about the time when Michael Whatshis name revealed his real modus operandi to get listed.. Now, I get the same iinet treatment from good old Westnet. Mind you, it is VASTLY supe

Re: Westnet Invoices

Daniel, Westnet used to send me a text based invoice/receipt, but have stopped doing so. There's now a requirement that I log onto to the website and find and download the receipt. As far as I'm concerned, the customer shouldn't have to do that. The invoice and the receipt should be sent to the
