Re: Love at first sight...then

Understood and I've been researching this myself. Not saying we'll go this route but a couple of things are happening here,

  1. Your cell/service provider could be at fault and I would consider switching to a more reliable provider.
  2. I have seen and heard of this.. but it's a USB devise which plugs into your cell's USB port (power port/charger) that acts like an external antena.
  3. Your GPS software needs to connect to the software's host/developers server. In this case their server might be having connection issues. So check into other GPS software for your smart phone.

I've been thinking of doing the USB antena thing myself.. basically this is how it works.. the USB antena grabs a a more define and stronger signal from other Providers.. Say your with AT&T and you purchase this antena from Verizon which simply plugs into your smart phone. The antena is no larger that a flash card. This will allow you to have wifi or wireless connection more so than if you didn't have the antena before. If you haven't checked into this.. it might help you with your GPS system.

Just research: "smartphone wifi signal usb adapter"
