ExtGPS is an application that allows end users to share their mobile’s built-in GPS module via Bluetooth and/or USB connection. Location details received from GPS are shared as NMEA data. 2.2. Working configuration The current version of application supports following Nokia mobile platforms that include GPS support:  S40 platform from 6th Edition onwards and  Symbian S60 mobiles from 3rd Edition onwards MUST have requirements for the application to work properly on device are:  Bluetooth and/or USB connectivity  built-in GPS module  JAVA runtime supports J2ME MIDP version 2.0 and CLDC-1.1 Application has been primarily tested and developed by using following platforms/devices (the actual device support is not limited to models below):  S40 6th Edition (Nokia 2710-c2)  S60 3rd Edition FP1 (Nokia 6210 Navigator, E71)  S60 3rd Edition FP2 (Nokia E5, N96)  S60 5th Edition (Nokia 5800 Express Music)  Symbian^3 / Anna update (Nokia N8, E7, E6) User Guide for ExtGPS Page 5 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. 3. BASIC USAGE - SHARING GPS Following steps-by-step guide will introduce how to use the application for the first time and how to start GPS sharing. STEP 1: Launch the application After successfully installing the packet from store, start the Symarctic ExtGPS application from the application grid. First the application will show a splash screen and after a while an application Disclaimer dialog is shown. User Guide for ExtGPS Page 6 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. STEP 2: Start position sharing After user has accepted the disclaimer dialog, application initiates with a permission query to allow position sharing. After user has authorized the sharing with “Yes” button, the application will start the position sharing service. Main view is activated and position search is ongoing. Bluetooth and USB connectivity status are also updated based on status and device details. Below is an example when GPS is searching the position and Bluetooth is in discoverable state, means that other devices can found it and create a connection and finally PC is connected via USB-cable and ExtGPS is ready to share NMEA data when position is received. ExtGPS shares data when position is received and Bluetooth or/and USB is successfully connected. After this it is possible to use this received NMEA data with your software if it supports Bluetooth or USB connection to read position data from.

APPLICATION FEATURES All features of ExtGPS are quite simple and easy to use and also the application lifecycle is quite straight-forward. The main user interface is used to show status general service status and also the status details for all sub-systems: GPS, Bluetooth and USB. 4.1. Idle state Application is in “idle” state (no services are running) when ExtGPS is started without automatic sharing, or user has ended the sharing session. 4.2. Start and Stop service When ExtGPS is launched from the application grid, the application prompts an automatic query to start GPS sharing, as described in previous chapter, although it is not mandatory to start GPS sharing immediately after the application launch. If user does not start immediately then the idle screen is shown. Now GPS sharing can be started and stopped when user selects command from application menu. User Guide for ExtGPS Page 8 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. 4.3. Positioning Check that your mobile phone is equipped with built-in GPS and positioning methods are activated. If GPS positioning is not activated, then the position cannot be shared. The screenshot below illustrates the situation when GPS positioning services was disabled from the mobile. Tip: Check the positioning methods on your device and activate positioning for Integrated GPS. User Guide for ExtGPS Page 9 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. 4.4. Bluetooth connectivity ExtGPS will not share data until Bluetooth (or USB) is connected and GPS sharing is activated. Additional Bluetooth activation query is shown right after the GPS sharing has been started if the BT is switched OFF. In general the Bluetooth can be activated from the system settings. Notice! Some mobile phones will show query like below to turn on the Bluetooth and some phones will just skip it. After Bluetooth has been activated the ExtGPS sets mobiles Bluetooth to discoverable state and yellow icon with text “Bluetooth: Discoverable” is shown on user interface. After sharing has been started and remote device has been connected successfully, the Bluetooth icon will be green and status text is: “Bluetooth: <remote device name>”. Bluetooth client can be changed during the runtime without first closing the sharing session. Just disconnect the remote device and use another Bluetooth device. Bluetooth will be changed back into discoverable state if the client connection is lost. If the Bluetooth has been deactivated from device, then interface will show red BT icon with text: “Bluetooth: Not available”. User Guide for ExtGPS Page 10 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. 4.5. USB connectivity ExtGPS will not share data until USB (or BT) is connected and GPS sharing is activated. After sharing has been started, the USB icon will be green and status text is: “USB: Connected”. If mobile supports USB connectivity then user needs to know the actual port number which is managed by PC’s operating system. To get the correct port number, please check your PC’s device manager and validate that mobile is recognized properly. Then use your GIS software and select USB communication port for source of NMEA data. Notice! ExtGPS will show red icon with text “USB: not connected” if USB-cable is not connected/not recognized or it is unsupported in your mobile phone. Check example screenshots below.

Home screen Shorten the time to access ExtGPS by inserting the shortcut to home screen. Although it should be noted that home screen is not necessarily supported in all devices. 5.2. Bluetooth pairing When using Bluetooth, check that the devices can be paired together before trying to share GPS data. When devices create an authenticated pair, the ExtGPS should be usable. With some device configurations it seems to be hard to get Bluetooth configuration work successfully. User Guide for ExtGPS Page 12 (17) Copyright © Symarctic Solutions Ltd. All rights reserved. 5.3.
