Nokia E61 and GPS
July 13th, 2006
I’ve just discovered something today, thanks to a user of J2memap: The nokia E61 support the JSR179, but does not have a built in GPS. So it can be only server side localisation. But you also have the ability to pair it with a GPS bluetooth device directly, so JSR179 implementation will use this informations…Smart approach! Unfortunatly the JSR179 provide more limited information than a full access to the GPS device, but that’s probably the price to pay for interoperability.
Ok, the E61 design could have been better, but the screen is really great, especially for this kind of application!

This is very interesting. I’d never thought about having JSR 179 without having a GPS receiver built in. It makes perfect sense, though. Thanks!

Do you mean that I have been the first using jsr 179 and external GPS bluetooth? Quite a miracle that it works so nice
For completion sake, I use SonyEricsson K608i and a no-brand 40euro bluetooth GPS. Thank you again, Thomas

Yes. I use this combination quite a while and I like it. There are some others that can do so, too like the N80 or the E60…
