In my past life I developed a fleet management device that had GPS and GSM in it, able to send the fix data to server in intervals. we even implemented some location alerts (around the vicinity of, or near customer..). Based on that experience, we used on of falcoms devices for it, it most probably did not have much of a cache for gps data (black box, tough to tell), but it needed a strong antenna for gps. For a GSM antenna you could use a hairpin, anything that had 10-15 cm of length was totally enough for good quality gsm connection. GPS required much more, in our case we supplied all the devices with external antennas. My knowledge is based solely on this work experience, I'm no radio-geek so I cant really tell much about antennas and signal catching. What kind of GPS-antenna is there in FR? Embedded for sure, but could that be the problem? I guess your TomTom comes with an external windshield antenna? -- Kalle. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
