With the image from today in testing I get a fix and it seems to work. But with tangogps I then indeed get the message 'no gps found'.
I have looked if gpsd is running but none of gpsd or fso-gpsd is running. Starting it with 'gpsd /dev/ttySAC1' works for me. Now I'll try navit while getting a Döner :-) Lothar lollisoft wrote: > > Using sdcard for debian may be no problem.
