At the very end of our holiday i lost my gps receiver ( i left it in an rental RV...) so on the trip from the USA to holland i jammed my fr between the window and the shade ( a plastic curtain that covers the window to make it dark ) if you remove the back cover of the FR it fits even better. I had a fix prior to take off, but i lost it after take off when i checked the FR. It seems the FR really needs to be close to the window to obtain and keep a fix But it did get a new fix after i put the FR against the window again and after studying the GPX logs at home is noticed that i had a dgps fix most of the time, so WAAS or EGNOS are really working on the FR. I also noticed that the elevation seems to be working too, i was on +/- 1 meter and that seems right.

I forgot to ask whether it's possible to get a fix after takeoff, but you answered even that question ;) It seems that my problem was hiding the Freerunner underneath some cover on my lap. Next time I'm going to try the shade trick and a deafness strike (they didn't mind me taking photos, so I guess it's safe). I'll also try to see if losing the fix is related to the start of the engines. What program did you use to capture the log files? I'm always using TangoGPS, and I never saw any DGPS information in it. I didn't even know SHR (am I guessing right?) supported DGPS!

But sorry, can't send you a patch. One show stopper, the rest can go as 'known issues': - importing contacts from SIM doesn't finish clean - some numbers are either not imported or are missing the last digit - contacts unusable Known issues: - 'can't add contact' -message every now and then when opening contacts. Not sure but I'd think this affecting the adding of contacts - things listed above r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
