Good evening Freerunners :) I can report a good GPS performance :) Two weeks ago I was testing tangogps on a hike. A friend was also tracking using his new Garmin. See http://www.student.uni-oldenburg.de/stefan.strahl/FreerunnerVSGarmin.jpg for a screenshot. Red is the Garmin track, blue the Freerunner recordings. The facts are:
- the Freerunner needed several minutes until he got a fix and the first positions were wrong (wrong start is labeled "-0", we started at the railway station / lower left corner of the screenshot) - the Garmin showed after some time a drift (reflections from the mountains?) of which interestingly the freerunner did not suffer from (we definitely walked along the blue track). - the battery lifetime of the Garmin is much longer ;) - my batteries were empty after ~4 hours So the GPS accuracy is quite good, nothing to complain about. And once someone found time to implement the A-GPS functionality we shouldn't worry about the first-fix times. So this problem is resolvable in finite time... ;) Happy freephoning and -running :) stefan _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
