I seem to have got it working, although I’m not too sure how.

It finally got a fix when I was inside playing around with different gllin options. I tried the "cold" option (cold start) and then “-sim“ (not using simulator) 5min after that it was getting fixes. Although I can't be sure the different options had anything to do with getting it to work and I have no idea why it would have been using the ‘simulator’ in the first place since I was using a normal buildhost image and standard gllin ipk

In any case, it's working now so i'm happy :)

Thanks for your help

Ben.

*75 the checksum data, always begins with *

Looks like you're only seeing 1 satellite. Are you in a city or
somewhere else where you'd have a lot of obstructions?

You need line-of-sight with 4 (preferably more) to get a lock.

Hi

My gta01 never gets gps lock, i've had it outside for over 15min on
multiple occasions over the past few months with no luck.
I followed the instructions here
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-November/011916.html
to get gllin installed
and i do get the $GPxxx info, it just never locks. (Always A1).

I get the date on the $GPRMC line which i've been told means the gps
receiver has found at least one satellite.
I've tried it on different kernel/rootfs images and i get the same thing.

Does anybody else have this problem?
