It ws on the buttom of my back back - I had laptop there, some clothes and Neo was in the middle of it. I was realy surprised too when I found out about accuracy of the device. > And you were not using the 'assistive' part of a-gps, i.e. not > communicating with a server to provide positioning info? No, I think at that time there was no GPRS available on Neo (or I didn't know how to turn it on). > I'm surprised as I heard reports from other devices of people having to go > up on a hill and wait for 10 minutes before they got a position fix... Well, It catches fix after about 1 min if there's clear sky above. As you can see on the picture accuracy was good - Neo recorded my exact route - I rode a bike on parking lot, once I drove in a circle, once I didn't use road and drove on the sidewalk - everything is there :) I think accuracy is comparable to my Garmin device. > BTW, I think you have a small error in the title "Qtopia on Neo1973 > unrevealed!".
