![]() So make sure that setting is set to true (look at the link I provided and navigate to Fine tuning response). If in the options object you set enableHighAccuracy to true then it will always look for the best possible way to locate the device, which, if available, is GPS. But generally, going the “normal” route without even looking into the PhoneGap docs works fine. If you look at the details then you realize that the former is built on the latter anyways, and even the syntax looks quite similar. As a side note, my app was built using jQuery Mobile, OpenLayers, geolocation, and even offline tiles (created in TileMill, using OSM Bright, so yes, the app can be way more than just a very simple HTML file that uses some JavaScript somewhere).Ģ) I did not use the geolocation functions from PhoneGap but the Geolocation API in general. once you figure out how to get that set up you can debug just like using the Chrome Developer Tools, or Firebug. You have to seriously test your app, of course, and see if some bugs might have been introduced, but if there were, then you can use remote debugging to look into what is going wrong. You are limited to 50 MB and you can only upload one app at a time (if you are using the free version, that is if you are willing to pay, then you have more possibilities). You will not have to deal with the installation and other things, and you can just zip your entire web app and upload it to Build, which then converts it to files for either Android, iOS or Windows. 1) I used PhoneGap Build instead of installing PhoneGap on my computer (glad to have a workmate who can give me this great kind of advice!). (This answer addresses the comments of John Barça’s comments… a little too large to put into the comments section).Īgain, I got this to work using PhoneGap, but I should perhaps clarify things a little bit. Is there other way I could try to make work tablet integrated GNSS (GPS) on Windows 8 with QGIS? And all software must be changed to work with this new interface… Even when GPS "works" the refresh rate and precision is terrible comparing to my phone. ![]() If you are thinking about tablet with integrated GPS think twice! From my point of view it is just too early – probably also no proper drivers yet as what I have read from Broadcom Readme file. QGIS can see the port (just to test it I changed COM 1 to 5 and 7) and it changes Serial device list in QGIS but after hitting Connect it always fails. This software can simulate COM port and send through it GPS data so some software is able to read it. Including QGIS – at this moment it is on the road map – Īnyway after extensive search I found software which can bypass MS localisation platform. This "new" way means it doesn't work properly or at all in almost any navigation/localisation software at this moment – because this software expect GPS data coming from COM port. Because it is integrated GPS and Windows 8, there is the "new" way of providing GPS data called Windows Location Provider. It's a mess that leaves us consumers very frustrated I had some success using the Lenovo GNSS driver under win 8.I have tablet – Dell latitude 10, running Windows 8, with integrated Broadcom GNSS Receiver BCM47511 (GPS,Glonass…). Since upgrading to Win 8.1 I have had little luck getting the SD Navigation mode to run using Localizer (M Map still works ok) Solutions seen to revolve around SD writing the navigation element to address the Win Location platform instead of (or as well as) com ports and so removing the need for a product like Localizer or Broadcomm/Asus producing an updated GNSS driver or Centrafuze doing some reprogramming People using generic marine software are having exactly the same issues. Under win 8.0 the localizer software and SD (and another Sat nav Mapping application) worked well enough. Original Post for Localizer v 3 To say that the failure of Microsoft to make provision for Existing Generic GPS software to access inbuilt GNSS under WIN8 is short sighted is an understatement. If Localizer continues to work well I will give this 5 stars after testing in the air. Once correctly installed and RUN as administrator, assigning a COM port (eg COM6) is easy. Must be installed and RUN as administrator or it crashes. Start up reading of the datastream can be slow. Generic Sat Nav software Memory Map and Skydemon now able to use inbuilt Broadcom GNSS in Win8.1 Asus Vivotab Altitude and position reporting seems accurate enough with acceptable update interval. **** UPDATE **** New Localizer version 4 and new licence file installed April 2014.
