Well try using 3G if there is anythere, But I think when you turn off 3G to save battery it turns the GPS off. B/c it should locate you no matter what unless ur inside. GPS does't work inside WPS does. – jarhead2000@me.com, on August 27, 2008 23:24

I'm on the first gen iPhone using the Edge network. There are very few wifi spots at my location. Edge worked well with Twinkle's location finder until about a week ago. – jessrbbt, on August 27, 2008 23:19

Well if you submit your location to Skyhook in a few weeks it should work. Now one setback is that Maps is a Apple app (duh) and will not be able to find your location, most likely, when your only connected to that wi-fi, but all 3rd party apps should work ok with finding you. I don't know when Apple updates there Maps app with new locations so Maps may not be your #1 location finder when using wi-fi. – jarhead2000@me.com, on August 27, 2008 20:55

How do you find the MAC id for the iPhone? I'm not using my router. I'm still using Edge.

Twinkle was unable to find me last night or this morning. I did my usual fix of going into maps but it turned out to be a more general problem as even maps couldn't locate me. After a bit of tweaking everything's fine now. If Twinkle can't find you, try locating yourself in maps first, failing that, shout at it very loudly (doesn't solve it but gets rid of some of the stress!)

Well if you read the Email skyhook sent to you, it said it will be at least 2-3 dys b4 they get it in there database then it takes about a couple of weeks (Depending on when Apple checks for new locations from SH) and they put it to your device, or at least should.

Bow I submited my location b/c Maps wasn't finding me but, after they got my location Maps still can't find me but all 3rd Party apps can, my guess is Apple whenever they come out with a new update they add the new locations to it. – jarhead2000@me.com, on August 27, 2008 03:13

how do I find the mac ID??? I tried to follow the link that explains is but I still couldn't find it!

jarhead2000@me.com replied on August 18, 2008 17:38 to the problem "Twinkle not locating me" in Tapulous:

yeah Skyhook has to take your MAC code (individual code for a Router) and your wireless network plus where you are and put you there. Now it took a while for it to work for me, so far all 3rd party apps work for it but Maps seems not to but idk y. Also they are lazy so they don't give u your EXACT loaction but pretty close.

Nice one jarhead, that was really easy to fix although I've got to wait a while for it to really work. Shame it doesn't work a bit sooner.

Yes you do! its comes on ur iPhone/iPod touch follow the link: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitw...
And then fill it out and then in a few weeks it should work.

Skyhook has partnered up with Apple and uses WPS in there devices, so no need to install or anything.

FIXED! Hey guys its not the App! IT's Skywook/Your wireless network. Skyhook is the GPS that finds u on a iPod touch,(More info on Skyhook below*) but Skyhook is Wi-fi GPS so your network your on is probably not in Skyhooks database.

But don't Worry! you can add your Network to Skyhook so when u and other people use it, it will locate you! Here's the website to add your location: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitw...

*Apple uses Skyhook for iPhone and iPod touch to find you in ALL of the applications that uses GPS or as Skyhook calls there Wi-Fi GPS, WPS. But they hire drivers that have GPSes and Wi-Fi routers to find Wi-Fi spots in United States Metro areas, See coverage area here: http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitw...
Those are just areas they have found but add yours with the link above this link.
Now iPhone use the WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System), GPS (only on 3G), and Cellular Towers for your network (Network as in cellular provider)
