Help with an app on iPhone 3GS

Recommended Posts

I've downloaded an app on my iPhone 5 and 3GS, it's working great on the 5 but on the 3GS it's constantly says searching for gps...... What am I doing wrong?

 

The gps on the 3GS is not very good. I have a 3GS and I'm always losing gps signal. This is why TomTom sell a car cradle for the gps with an external gps antenna built in because the phones antenna is not reliable enough.

I found with the 3GS if you open the app you want to use (eg. TomTom), put your route in etc. then close the app leaving it running in the background, then open the iOS maps app it locks on to gps far quicker than a 3rd party app. Then double tap home button select the gps app you wanted to use and signal should be locked on.
