Thanks for your help! well, if you're in a spot with gps reception, after a while (about a minute, maybe even longer) between all these ,,, there should be numbers. i am not that familiar w/ gps, but i think as long as frinst N*?? changes it means that your gps receives signals which means that the hw should be ok. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
