N95: speed and course

[redsmurph]

Must the "Required" settings be true for the N95 to at all return speed and course, like so?
cr.setSpeedAndCourseRequired(true);

I guess there can't be anything wrong with how the values are read out:
speed = l.getSpeed();
course = l.getCourse();

With the above set to false I always get NaN for those value.

Thanks in advance for any help

If you need these informations, it is a good idea to set them in the criteria object.
The problem with the Nokia API is that you can't set the desired location method. And there is also no documentation that states which locationProvider you will get for a certain criteria.

The reason I didn't set them at first was that I was concerned the phone might choose not to report any such supported device at all, but in the case of GPS I hope this will be accepted even if it at the time doesn't have any access to satellites and the actual speed and course.

Practice makes perfect...

Just to help anyone else looking for this info: Yes, this helps and enabled speed and course from N95.
