Very nice application!
If you could just add the 'myposition' and the 'friendsposition', like in
TangoGPS you would make me very happy :) (I was trying to port TangoGPS to
Qt just for those functions, but you are almost done).

I tried it in the car yesterday and found that the cursor moved off the
map unless manually centred - is there a way to make the cursor fixed
and the map move under it as does tangogps? Its not possible to
continually hit centre whilst driving/biking.
I do like the way

this should give you some output like this:
r...@freerunner:~# cat /dev/ttySAC1
NMEA unknown msg*58
$GPTXT,01,01,01,NMEA unknown msg*58
$GPTXT$GPRMC,,V,,N*53

Hey,
I have been doing the exact same thing the last few days.
I thouroughly read the different wiki pages [1] but it did not really
help me besides pointing me to agpsui. I was only acknowledged the
device was working when I activated the GPS, booted tangogps and
started walking around in town.
you can cat the output...
through terminal or just look at it in agpsui (the last tab lest you
see a list of the recieved GPS information)

Thanks for that, I captured the output and here follows a short snippet:

In open sky conditions in Jaipur, India (outdoors) the Freerunner normally
gives me a 40s (+ - 10s) tiff while my N 95 takes 60s (+ - 10) [ cold starts
after rebooting on both ]. I have not timed them indoors but will do so and
report after Diwali

I find the FR more or less equivalent to other GPS devices I have. The
biggest factor I notice is weather conditions. In overcast conditions I
can use the GPS anywhere inside my house, as well as outside. Under
clear sky conditions, the GPS will only work outside and will not
acquire a first fix
The FR still takes some minutes to get a fix when in a moving vehicle, and
anywhere inside a building, it is as if it never worked.
Nothing new
Speaking from daily experience the FR is in no way less sensitive than any
other GPSr I have used or was around with while geocaching, and that is

Um, does the Nokia E71 have assisted GPS (AGPS), as I
rather suspect it does? If so,
My brother has Nokia N95 and it has about the same performance as my Neo.
No fix inside, around 40 seconds fix outside.
So it's not worse than others.
Also I have good bluetooth gps, and it has problems getting fix in the city
area or while moving, so you can't blame Neo for not getting fix - it's
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.
