Q : Has the product been tested on all phones ?
Testing carried out in over 300 handsets. Real testing carried out for
more than 48 hours and 25 miles of continous tracking on handful of
models. The model details are available in the "Compatibility" page
under Navigation menu.

Q : Is my phone supported ?
Please check our extensive compatiblity page to know wheather your phone is supported.

Q : How does GPS Watch Application stand out from other J2ME applications?
GPS Watch application has been designed by J2ME application
development experts with core emphasis on compatibility and efficiency.
Its quite vivid from the size of our application which is ~35KB and the
blazing fast double buffered screen rendering for such an intuitive
app.

Q : Does GPSWatch require a GPS Receiver?
GPSWatch requires a Bluetooth based GPS Receiver or GPS Receiver built into mobile phone. 

Q : Does GPSWatch require WAP or GPRS?
GPSWatch requires GPRS for initial activation,but for our valuable customers we offer customized solutions to not require GPRS for activation. our product is designed in such a way to not require a WAP or GPRS for normal usage.

Q : Installing GPSWatch in Motorola Phones
In order to install Java apps from the file system (such as in
development) you need to enable JAL (Java Application Loader) for the
phone. By default this is locked out of Motorola phone I assume
because of the DRM issues. Non-signed binaries can be run is seems but
it is not clear if it treats them differently or not.

For windows it is a relativity simple thing to do if you can get
hold of the programs to do it. Joining motomodders.net is prolly a good
start ;)

Gives a rough overview of how it is achieved.

On Linux it is a little more skilled but not so hard either. Using
moto4lin you can edit the seem table and enable the flag.
(http://www.planetmotox.net/motox101/v3_seem_table.htm) Then it is just
a simple case of copying the jad/jar files across to flash and
selecting GPW. Triggering the JAL, enables windows users to use the
program to manage the midlets for them. moto4lin doesn't do that but
seeing as I have direct access to the file system instead it doesn't bother the user.

Q : Installing GPSWatch in Siemens Phones

In order to install Java applications on one of the BREW devices of
BenQ-Siemens you need a Windows based software named Java Midlet
Installer, or, in short JMI.

This software can be downloaded free of charge at http://download.benqmobile.com/repository/1297/129775/sxg75_jmi_v03.zip

After exctracting the software you can start it and connect your
mobile phone to the data cable. After some seconds the application
should state in the right part of its screen that the phone is
connected. If the phone isn't recognized check connection with the
Mobile Phone Manager which ships with your phone and can be downloaded
on www.BenQmobile.com/SXG75 in the support section. (For other mobile
phones just type your mobile phones name). If you haven't installed the
„MPM“ yor system may just lack the necessary drivers.

Choose which type of application you want to install (application or
game). Browse in the left part of the screen to the folder in which the
JAD and JAR files of the application are and selcet one. Click on the
„Install“ button on the right side. The application will be transfered
to the phone. After the transfer is completed the phone needs a restart.

Now you can find the application in the games or application list in
the menu depending on what you had selected as you installed it.

Incase you are not able to locate the JMI installer on the support website, please write to us.

Q : Speed is reported as 0
GPSWatch application retrieves speed data from VTG NMEA messages
which provide data on Course over ground and ground speed. Some GPS
receivers have VTG messages disabled by default, refer to your GPS
Receiver manual and enable VTG messages for proper functioning of
GPSWatch.

Q. Is there a limitation on the size of the PNG Map Files?
Yes, mobile phones have some limitations on the memory allotted for
the JVM so it directly affects on the size of the image that can be
held in memory. Phones usually support from 50 KB - 250 KB of image
size based on the configuration of the phone.

Q Why is export/import feature not working on my Nokia phone ?
You need to give the application the permission to create and access files
on your phone memory card. To do it, go to collection (where GPSWatch
is found), then go to options, then to Application Access, then to
Phone Access, in "Read User Data" and "Add and edit data", select "Ask
everytime"

Q. Is support being provided for the application?
In case you face any difficulty in using or installing the application,
we request you to contact our Technical Support team via e-mail with
complete platform and scenario details so that we could work on the fix.
