Location without GPS, but with cell info
I have the feeling, that, in case I only use the mobil cell info for locating me, does not work perfect. At home I set my "home" location with GPS, to save memory I turned the GPS function off. Yesterday my location changed from HOME to NEAE HOME and KIEL (the city I live). I guess the cell info has a big radius and GPS is a lot more accurate. I will take a look if this is often a one time and give feedback, but GPS drain memory. And if I'm right, Buddyclouds check my location every 3 minutes?

Inappropriate?Thanks for your feedback Christian. It is true that the accuracy of location determination based on cell tower data depends on - among other things - the density of such.
Bare bones GPS won't do you much good indoors, but I guess you are referring to A-GPS as it is supported by the Nokia E71.
Anyway, you shouldn't be seeing this kind of behavior, if you have wireless lan access points visible to your handset at home or in your neighbourhood.
You should try turning on Wi-Fi on your device.
I’m interested

Inappropriate?Thanks for your Support Mustafa. I redefined my "Home" Location with A-GPS, Cell Info and WiFi on. Works now perfect! Will do this for my other locations, too. You meant a-gps is better than gps? I turned a-gps off, because I don't now if I get charged for it. I recognized that when you relocate me, I have small data transfer packets via "o2 internet". So I turned Netbase GPS (a-gps) into integrated GPS.
By the way, I try to support your fine app as good as I can and give you feedback or ask for unclear things. But it allready seems perfect. I am curious what will come next! And you call it alpha!? ;)

Inappropriate?Thanks for the laurels Christian.
Stay tuned, there is more ground to cover and more features to come. We are also constantly working on improving our existing location features.
As for A-GPS, it's not autonomous in the sense GPS-only is. I think that the corresponding wikipedia article does a good job of explaining the functionality.
Looking forward to hear more from you ;)
I’m happy
