Hi All, Today I compiled foxtrotgps for the freerunner and did some initial tests, mostly to see if foxtrotgps is faster or slower than tangogps.
Overall, it seems to be just as fast (and probably faster in some cases), except when dragging the map. In order to make it a fair comparison I disabled the OSD entirely, because that's the way tangogps handles things when map-dragging. When 'slowly' dragging (couple of pixels/second) it's just as fast as tangogps, but when dragging 'faster' (i.e. larger distances) it stops updating the view, until you stop dragging, or drag slower again. So maybe there are some inefficiencies in osm-gps-map when exposing new parts of the underlying pixmap to the view. For those that want to see for themselves, I put the foxtrotgps ipk's and its deps online here: http://www.outrightsolutions.nl/~sander/openmoko/foxtrotgps/ Since it now uses libgps and not fso-gpsd you might run into difficulties actually getting live GPS data, but for me that's not a priority right now :) grtz, Sander _______________________________________________ This message is sent to you from [email protected] mailing list.
