Will GPS work in my rucksack?

alexthecheese · 5 Mar 2013 at 11:15

Got a Nexus 10 and want to use it for MapMyRun, so I can record my cycling and see how far I go / calories burned etc.

The reason I want to use my Nexus is because of the battery life, and I don't want to drain my phone in case I need it whilst I am out.

I've only got a normal backpack and will pop the Nexus 10 in there, protected by its case.

Would I be able to expect it to work? Is GPS line of sight only, or will it penetrate usual rucksacks?

EDIT: ... wrong forum!

Yes it will work. My Galaxy S2 does.

I turn on Strava and put my Galaxy S3 in my pocket with no problems.

Wrong forum.

But why not just try it?!?!!?

To answer your question, my One X works fine in my bag when I go running. It's only cloth it has to pass through.

Should work fine. Mine does.
