If you talk to the GPS directly using the UBX format you can change the mode to match your vehicle/usage type. This changes some of the assumptions it makes in location estimation. This isn't available through the FSO interface, but at least ome app (omgps?) is using it. Links to the UBX docs were in the wiki last time I looked. Remember you will have to disable ogpsd before you use it this way. > - Is there a way to ask for gps coordinates faster then one second? > (for running 0.1 sec would be awesome).

IIRC you can ask the GPS for more or less frequent reports, and the integer seconds are due to the FSO implementation rather than the GPS. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
