Hello,
i have some trouble with combining a tour on komoot and using the training app on my iphone/apple watch at the same time.
i guess its not working because both use GPS or something?
When i start my workout/tour on komoot and then start a training (e.g. bike tour) on the training app, the training app will stop my workout like 3-4min later.
are the both apps not working together?

About a week ago I noticed that my supercruise stopped working, kept telling me its unavailable. I then later realized my GPS dont work either. I normally never use the onboard one since I always have Carplay connected.
Then also noticed the Onstar dont work either (no lights, SOS dont work either). And I have no cellular data either. So somehow all this died a week ago. I know the supercruise wont work if it doesnt have GPS and latest map data (which it gets from the cell plan). Ive barely used the included cell plan since I got the Denali Ultimate. It says Ive only used 23gig of the 1000GB they give you.
Ive checked every fuse on this, and they all good. Even did the removed battery for extended period (i did almost 6hrs) and rehooked and still no luck. Something tells me the antenna or hardware tied to it died.
Anyone had this happen?

My girlfriend and I of 1 year had been fighting and while she was mad at me I thought she did something that she knows I disapprove of. Drinking and driving. She left the house came back and I was on the couch and heard a bottle of wine being poured. After she left I checked the bottle and it was halfway gone. Then went to the parking garage to see if her car was still there and it was gone. Then I tracked her location on the GPS and she was at the dog park. I wanted to make sure she got home safe so I watched the dot and it was exactly as if she was driving, even stopping at intersections. It was about 8 blocks from the house. Then was the GPS showed she got back home about 2 mins shes back in the apartment. She was screaming at me for about an hour I just let her vent and she had wine all over her lips. I didnt say anything about the drinknig and driving. The next day we were back at the dog park and she said "Yesterday I walked to the dog park" I said oh you walked? Then she replied "Yea it wasn't that bad". Thats when I got quite and she could tell. I told her that I had went downstairs yesterday and her car was gone. Thats when she started to tell me that she only drove half way and walked the rest of the way. Then I told her that I saw the dot on the gps and it looked exactly like you were driving. Then she told me that on the way out of the dog park the dog got loose and was running down the street thats why it might have looked like it was moving so fast. Then she basically stuck to her story and said to give her the benefit of the doubt. She couldnt give me a clear answer on why half the bottle of wine was gone but she said she only had 1 drink before going to the park. The only thing she said she was sorry for was not being more clear about what she meant by "walked" to the park. I said I needed some time to process it and we had been talking 2x a day during the workweek just checking in. On Tuesday she told me she ran into this guy randomly in her apt complex that she has told me she finds attractive. They always seem to "bump into each other" when things between us get rocky but I dont think anything has ever happened. I didnt really think anything of it when she told me I trusted her faithfulness and dindnt really question things at all. That weekend she came over and I was on my computer and she was asking about all the people who have texted me. So then I said let me look at your texts. She said okay and I went to the deleted text messages and loe and behold she had been texting this guy too and then deleted it. She said that iphone randomly deletes her text messages. The messages weren't too bad, however on Thursday she had a text at 8pm telling him that shes coming over now. She said they just talked for a bit and then she left. But its just to many suspicious things happening and I feel like there is some lying and deception going on. She seems to have a reason for justifying all her actions and doesn't think anything she is doing is wrong, its making me feel like I'm the crazy one and I'm not sure what to do.

I started a drone project years back and never finished. I've tried selling the parts but no luck. Looking for an RC enthusiast that would put this stuff to good use.

If you are on a mobile phone with location-services enabled for your browser, the easiest way to check your elevation and altitude is via the website https://elevation.place
Alternatively, there are some built-in ways to check your altitude that vary depending on if you have an iPhone (iOS) or Android phone

On iOS:

1. Compass App:
   • Open the Compass app. If you don't see it, you might need to download it from the App Store.
   • The altitude is displayed at the bottom of the screen along with other information like your current location and heading.
2. Apple Maps:
   • Open Apple Maps.
   • Tap the "i" button in the lower-right corner and select "Show Elevation" (available in certain regions and on some map views).
3. Third-Party Apps:
   • My Altitude: This app uses GPS and barometer data to provide accurate altitude readings.
   • GPS Status: Another app that shows detailed GPS information, including altitude.

On Android:

1. Google Maps:
   • Open Google Maps.
   • Search for a location or use your current location.
   • Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view details about the location. If available, the altitude will be listed.
2. Google Earth:
   • Open Google Earth.
   • Navigate to your location. The altitude is shown at the bottom of the screen along with coordinates.
3. Third-Party Apps:
   • Altimeter GPS: This app provides altitude information using GPS data.

Using a Web Browser:

For both iOS and Android, you can use online tools:

• Elevation.Place: Visit this site on your mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Brave, etc) - it will get your altitude via your phone sensors and also display the ground-level elevation at your current location. You can use these two metrics to calculate your height above ground. Elevation will be your height above sea level.
• WhatIsMyElevation.com: Visit this site on your mobile browser. It will show your current altitude based on GPS data.

How can I calibrate my phone's altimeter for more accurate readings?

Calibrating your phone's altimeter can improve accuracy. Here are some methods for both iOS and Android:

On iOS:

1. Compass Calibration:
   • Open the Settings app.
   • Go to Privacy > Location Services > System Services.
   • Toggle on Compass Calibration.
2. Manual Calibration:
   • Use a known altitude reference point (like a topographic map or a benchmark elevation).
   • Open an altitude app that allows manual calibration (e.g., My Altitude).
   • Enter the known altitude to adjust the reading.
3. Recalibrate Barometer:
   • To recalibrate the barometer, place your phone in a location with a known altitude and let it sit for a few minutes to stabilize.

On Android:

1. Google Maps Calibration:
   • Open the Google Maps app.
   • Tap the blue dot representing your location.
   • Select Calibrate Compass and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Manual Calibration:
   • Similar to iOS, use an app that allows for manual calibration (e.g., Altimeter GPS).
   • Enter a known altitude to adjust the reading.
3. Recalibrate Barometer:
   • Similar to iOS, place your phone at a known altitude and allow the barometer to stabilize.

What are the differences in accuracy between using GPS and barometric pressure for altitude measurement?

Both GPS and barometric pressure can be used to measure altitude, but they have different strengths and limitations:

GPS-Based Altitude:

• Accuracy: Generally accurate to within 10-20 meters.
• Dependencies: Requires a clear view of the sky to connect to multiple satellites.
• Limitations: Can be less accurate in dense urban areas, forests, or indoors due to signal obstruction.
• Use Cases: Best for outdoor activities where a clear sky view is available.

Barometric Pressure-Based Altitude:

• Accuracy: Can be very accurate, within a few meters, when calibrated correctly.
• Dependencies: Sensitive to weather changes and requires frequent calibration.
• Limitations: Atmospheric pressure changes (due to weather) can affect readings.
• Use Cases: Ideal for activities like hiking and climbing, where changes in weather are minimal or can be accounted for with regular calibration.

I like to walk a lot and visit some beautiful places and decided I want to record more of what I see and maybe make a few little videos/vlogs. Not necessarily to put on YouTube but maybe just to keep as memories . Also when I’m walking I tend to need as much phone battery as possible using GPS maps. Now as someone who only uses an iPhone 13 mini and no experience with DJI products or any video editing I want to ask what the quality difference will be like if I buy a DJI pocket 3 compared to iPhone 13 mini. Is it going to be a slight improvement or mind blowing of a difference? Secondly can I transfer from DJI pocket 3 straight to the iPhone 13 mini without having a laptop/pc? Is the transferring quick? How long roughly for a 10 mins video? Told ya I’m new to this! Thank you in advance for any helpful answers 🙂

I am having a hard time getting social media recommendations which are US based. I am going to be in Argentina for a couple of months. Is there any shortcut which can spoof of GPS location? Any Macbook or Iphone shortcuts which will help me with this?

This case fits the Puli AX, tightly with no modification. No additional foam necessary. Oh yes, without the wall-mount adapter of course.
If that link is jacked up for you, the description reads "Shockproof Hard Shell Carrying Case for GPS, External Hard Drive, Power Bank, Charger, Cable, Heart Monitor, Cell Phone, Electronic Accessories - Larger Capacity Storage Pouch Travel Bag" by GLCON.
You will have to get a second of this same case for the antennas and power supply. I found you have to spin-off the country-specific adapter from the power supply, but that also does fit.
Yea. The Puli AX isn't the "ideal travel router" for all travel, but it's EXCELLENT for camping where there's otherwise no wifi at all! In fact, I think having the built-in battery is nice for when determining the best placement for the 4G/5G signal.
Enjoy! Rock-on my friends.

Just bought the W670 head unit to install on a '06 charger. I have it all wired up on my desk and I'm about to rip into the dash but I have a question. I have googled it, tried navigating alpine USA website, searching Reddit, and the user manual. I've seen many different answer and guessing, but can anyone tell me,
Where the hell do you mount the GPS antenna?

Hi,
I've never used an iPhone. But I'm interested because so many told me that GPS is better in iPhone than in Android.
But I'm not rich enough to buy the latest iPhone. I have a good credit history, but no one is going to give me loans if I'm unemployed.
And I'm thinking about purchasing an iPhone that is not the latest model.
For example, a renewd iPhone 13 costs about $620, but SE about $100.
As I know, the latest versions of IOS are available on all iPhones from SE 2nd generation. But as I know, iPhone 11, 12 and 14 have new GPS functions, and perhaps by purchasing an iPhone SE I will not get the maximum GPS capabilities.
There are only two reasons to use an iPhone: GPS and the accessibility of certain applications. Otherwise I'm on Android's side!
Any advice please?
Thanks in advance!

Hello fellows, I'm searching for something like the Garmin devices to use strictly for navigation even in regions without cellular connection (4g). Anyone have experience with those devices? Specific models?
I am also searching for a GPS locator that can reliably track the location of my bike in case it is stolen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I see mixed reviews for certain devices. I don't have an iphone or Samsung to use their Airtag-type devices plus I think it's better if it works with GPS satellites rather than rely on other devices to be around. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated 👍

Hello everyone,
My sister recently dropped her phone. Since then the gps can’t seem to find her position accurately.
She can’t use Waze anymore, and she can’t play Pokemon Go because her character will keep changing positions on the map, sometimes miles from her actual position.
The problem happens only when the phone is in 4G/5G. It doesn’t happen when connected to the WiFi.
Is there anything that can be done?
Thanks for your help :)
Edit: iOS 17.4.1

I have someone on Find My and they live in an apartment building. The radius of their blue circle is about a centimeter but when other iPhones are around, it seems like it gets almost dead on accurate and the blue circle is barely existent around them
Do iPhones feed off eachother to approximate their GPS coordinates?

I live in the Uk (northwest), and caught scabies a few weeks after having covid and the covid vaccine (unsure if relevant but I think these reduced my immune response. I have had it for 2.5 years ever since and tried everything to try and cure it - spending thousands of pounds). I have never had any type of skin problem in the past. I have seen many doctors and 3 dermatologists - all said I did not have scabies - but I showed the spots that are present all over my body, face and scalp (hundreds / thousands) to a pharmacologist and his words were that it was "100 PERCENT SCABIES". I still have it and it keeps me awake at night - sometimes all night with itching / scratching and painful bites. I am constantly pulling the mites out of my skin on scabs which have dozens of tiny oval shaped yellow crusty little mites all over them in clusters - sometimes many are deep red with blood. I look at these under a microscope and you can see the mites with claws that show that these are living creatures. I have showed these photographs to doctors and dermatologists of these mites but they take no notice, don't seem to care, and say that I am mentally ill etc. I have a PhD in Physics and still lecture all over the world plus I am a Fellow of The Royal Society and so I am functioning at a high level and patently I am not mentally ill. All of the doctors and dermatologists that I have seen are completely stupid, poorly educated and simply don't care. They seem to have been trained as fools, I am sure there must be some good ones but I have not seen any. Anyway the condition seems incurable by all of the methods listed on this reddit. Although when I take Ivermectin horse-paste in the correct dose that seems to kill many of them overnight and the condition eases or goes away for a few days but returns when new eggs hatch or larvae mature etc. I did not catch this from a sexual partner either but believe I caught it lying on a beach where dogs had been; lying topless sunbathing (with a tiny open wound on my stomach) and noticed burrows on my stomach close to this wound a few days later. Doctors do not believe this is possible since you are supposed to not catch it from animals - different type of scabies - but that is not true you can catch animal scabies! This is by no means the only misconception about scabies - because I have it on my scalp and in my nose etc; but once again it is not supposed to go on the scalp as I have been told by many doctors - but if you look up medical papers you find many examples of people with it on their scalps. Plus the spots do move about the body in groups - and also sometimes form large scabs sometimes over 1cm in size. Also I often feel a painful bite like a bee sting and then go to the site of the sting and see a bloody spot - and can even pick the scabies from its burrow (yellow oval shaped beastie which looks like a triangle 1-2mm in size)- also the sheets are full of bloody spots every night where I have been bitten - once again doctors do not believe you can feel scabie bites but you can - they are super painful. Someone needs to to start a petition to government to get this disease looked into - because I hear that there is a severe outbreak in England and Europe right now in 2024. Anyway its late at night and I must try and get some sleep. I have lost almost all hope of finding a cure - either with natural medicines or drugs etc; I have tried everything. Many bad thoughts arise in my hopeless condition in relation to suicide - but I shall try and continue.
Below you can see a photograph that I took of a dead scabie through my professional microscope using an iPhone (around 100-200 times relative magnification). It is dead but I believe you can see its head and some legs, however the doctors / dermatologists just ignored this image and say nothing. Below you can see a photograph that I took of a bloody scab on my skin that I removed, and the region you see is about 5 mm in size - and shows some kind of creatures or scabie lavae I believe - but once again doctors and dermatologists are not interested and in fact make no comment when I show these pictures to them (printed out at A4 size). Below you see more images that I have taken through my microscope of dead scabies taken from my skin. Once again nobody seems to think anything of these images - even when I explain that I am an optical scientist by profession and have taken these images myself using professional skills and knowledge. Do readers of this post think that it is right that I should be ignored and ridiculed (called mentally ill) by doctors and so-called dermatologists who cannot even recognise scabies. I would show even more horrific images of the way my once full head of hair (a few weeks ago) has been eaten away by these creatires with large bald patches now showing.
Oh and I think there is something else going on here with the poorly trained and woefully unknowledgeable doctors and dermatologists - whereby because the scabies are microscopic creatures (at biggest 1mm for adult females) - then because the doctors cannot easily see the creatures for themselves they seem to have some kind of psychological episode THEMSELVES (ongoing) where they ascribe these as imaginary and existing only in the mind of the patient! This only happens with this condition primarily I believe because the scabies are microscopic. When I went to the doctor with pain in my knee they sent me to have a scan and found that yes I have slight arthritis in that knee. So patently checkable conditions that happen at the macroscopic level (real world visible) do not result in the patient being called mentally ill - but the very nature of scabies as a microscopic parasite seems to bring about this 'mental projection' from the doctodermatologist - and so it is they who are suffering from a mental delussion as many people on this reddit can attest. So we need to re-train all of these people and stop the possibility of them suffering from mental delustions that the paient is delusional just because they have a microscopic parasitic skin condition. Once again we need a government investigation and re-training of everyone involved. Also I have been told by these people (doctors / dermatologists) that they have seen scabies many times before and know what it looks like. But we have over 300 different kinds of scabies that are known to infest humans; and also we have different forms such as classical, nodular and crusted etc, and I do not believe that the bite spots look the same in every person because they do not even all look the same at all times on my own body. Sometimes I have crusted spots up to 1cm in size, sometimes pin-prick bites isolated, and sometimes groups of hundreds of spots over about a 10-20cm region of skin. I have read dozens of academic papers on scabies plus all of the reddit posts of hundreds of people here - and I do not believe that the doctors and dermatologists have read anything about this disease and are aware of its features in any way whatsoever - they are simple not interested and need some kind of wake up call.
GPs or General Practitioners (read also dermatologists here whenever I use this acronym) also are unaware of the medical literature on scabies, for example: 1) There are many academic papers on how scabies can move from animals (dogs) and live and reproduce on humans - although there is widespread belief in the contrary amongst GPs. 2) GPs say that it does not affect the scalp on adult humans - but many papers and images prove it does. 3) GPs say scabies always show burrow like spots in a straight line - but that is simply not always true. 4) GPs say that you have to catch it from a human or sexual partner - but you can catch it in other ways also. 5) GPs say that permethrin and Ivermectin etc will cure it easly - but there is widespread resistance as explained in many papers. 6) GPs say that you cannot feel scabies biting - but as attested on this site many people do feel the stings of these creatures. 7) GPs think that scabies is only for people who are homeless, unclean and in crowded conditions etc - that is is somehow the patients fault but this is simply not true - anyone can catch scabies as many academic papers attest. etc etc. Basically GPs are uninterested in educating themselves about the true nature of this disease, perhaps because they do not know how to cure it, and want to simply get you out of their surgery and to ascribe it as a mental illness (and this goes double for the dermatologists who just sign you off without asking for your permission after you wait 6 months to see them with this miserable disease). And worst of all - my sister works for the NHS and has access to my secret NHS records - they write on your record that you are mentally ill because of your claims about having scabies - when you have never in your 59 years of life ever before had any such claim made against you. I am a professor who has spent years teaching hundreds and hundreds of students and never once did anyone (to my knowledge) ascribe such a problem to myself.
By the way lack of education and knowledge are not the only problems exhibited by the GPs and so-called Dermatologists - because in my experience (8 doctors and 3 dermatologists) - many of these people suffer from a bad case of ARROGANCE - combined with LOOKING DOWN UPON THE PATIENT WHO THEY PATENTLY HAVE DECIDED IS AN IDIOT. They do not listen to logical arguments, evidence etc; and I have written many several page letters to these people explaining all of the medical details, evidence and logical facts - but they never once refer to any single detail related from my letters or logical points and evidence - but rather they simply ignore each and every point. See the attached letters which were not addressed or replied to in any way by the GP practice (anonymised).
Plus the medicines they prescribe do not work (often) and they then take that as evidence that you do not have scabies - but it is well known (in the academic world) that the scabies are becoming resistant to all drugs used against them. The low level doctors simply do not care - and have no idea how this terrible disease detrimentally affects an adult humans life - children with stronger immune systems may be able to cope and throw the disease off - but not all adults can do so easily as seen on this reddit - it actually ruins ones quality of life (in every respect) and so much that a normal person begins to think of suicide. If they (the GPs) had it they would know and perhaps take it more seriously.

There are always these Cutouts. But how do you know where to place a cut?

Hi. I have an iPhone which connects to a CarPlay device on my motorcycle.
On the Insta360 app, I have gone through the steps to accord permission to the app to read the GPS position 'always'.
What I was hoping was that I could get GPS overlay on the footage. I hoped that this would happen if I just opened the Insta360 app and then backgrounded it.
This doesn't appear to be happening. Is there a conflict between CarPlay and Insta360? Does the latter need to be open and running all the time, to get the GPS data?
Thank you.

Seems it is possible to get quite an extensive info from FX3100 via API.
Sorry if I am publishing info that was posted before.
