[Qgis-user] Live Mapping with QGIS on Toughbook

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Daniel Green from Québec?

I would start by testing in a wide open field.  Is the problem with the GPS in the laptop or with the connection with QGIS?  If it’s the later, explain what you are doing and what versions of QGIS using.  If you only get a position with the wifi, maybe you don’t have an actual GPS chip.  Look at the computer specs.  Some tablettes (iPods also) and rare phone only use wifi for positioning and do not use an actual GPS chip.  Make sure you are not in airplane mode with antenna’s turned off.

Ça va bien aller!

The software on the Toughbook shows it is picking up satellites so I am confident it isn’t the hardware. When I try to connect it occasionally picks up my location if I have wi-fi but without it never does.
