Being the owner of both a 1973 (GTA01) and a FreeRunner (GTA02) I can tell you my experience: the 1973 was my first GPS device ever, so I didn't have anything to compare with. After getting the necessary software on the phone (gllin etc.) and configured correctly, the GPS was working correctly, getting TTFF in a few minutes. So there was no problem with the 1973 to report. > Before someone suggests: I don't like the 'fallback' idea of using an > external antenna, since it is very unhandy for bike and walk usage. Nobody wants an external antenna for a permanent solution, and I guess nobody suggested that either. They only suggested the external antenna as part of trying to figure out the problem. > My current thoughts are two sided.

It seems to me like many (ok, some) people on this list are fearful people. People, why are you fearing so much? Are we not pioneers of the open source mobile phone revolution? Sure, the sky could fall on our heads tomorrow, but pioneers have no time or that way of thinking. Pioneers are smart and positive people - anything is possible. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
