The very important text, you need to enter in the command window to turn on the device whenever the phone is powered through USB, says the following in white added onscreen: fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0 however you typed the following in the command window: fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0 notice the difference: fastboot oem-off-mode charge 0 fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0 If this is so very important, a bit of consistency might be handy.

A tablet that lacks cell data for GPS-A location refinement can produce odd routing information in locations with adjacent parallel expressways. Unaugmented GIS maximum accuracy is approximately 30 feet and that degrades when radio noise is intense or line of sight to one or more satellites is blocked by terrain or buildings. In areas like Chicago and Oak Ridge Tennessee, I've gotten absurd directions from my map's routing software, like making a left turn on a divided highway where there was no left exit, or being directed into a dead end because the software thought I was on a parallel road.
@jozzerful28 жыл бұрын
You can also download an app, called TomTom yes the same as the GPS TomTom, you download it, and you get 60 minutes offline use so basically, if you get lost and need directions you get 60 minutes of free directions. I think this is good because it is not that often that I need directions and 50 minutes is more than enough time for to get directions and that is just on your standard phone, sorry I forgot to mention you get 60 minutes every month, and put it on your SD card, no other things are required if and when you need directions you just tap your TomTom app and turn on your GPS tell it where you want to go and it will give you directions as good as a TomTom GPS would give you know other messing around.

@brianwolff6516 жыл бұрын
If you need navigation on your old phone or tablet, just download the area map from Google Maps where you live over wifi, on google maps, then use google maps as navigation in your car. It works just fine for a phone or some old 7 inch tablet you have, and does not need any data for the GPS to work....step 1. open google maps. step 2 save area map to you phone (very small file saves in seconds). step 3 run maps as navigation. The local map needs to be saved every 30 days. My local maps includes all most of NC and a good chunk of Tennessee, so not a big issue there. You can save more than one map for continuous function on an across-the-country-drive. If you use your current phone or have data access, you get live traffic updates as well. It is all free except for the very little data you use. The maps are searchable, without data, like finding a gas station, and address or a certain business.

Google maps only lets you highlight a select area on the map up to a certain size.

There are better apps available that let you save all the maps you want and then use them whenever you want offline

In order to use an old phone as a GPS, you'll need to purchase 2 apps from the G Store. Then, you'll either need a used tablet or phone (preferably a phone with a big screen) then spend upwards of 2 days installing...or you can buy a used GPS for less than $100. And if you have an old phone, you can donate it.
