Got Xastir going in the Pocket CHIP and discovered through a posting on
the CHIP forum that a recalcitrant Window can be re-positioned with holding the
"Alt" key while pressing and holding the left mouse button and scrolling
around! Now I have to see if I can tame a Bluetooth problem and will be all
set. I'm surprised how well Xastir looks in this small screen on a nativelinux
Debian "jessie" distro. A cold boot and start of Xastir takes 2 minutes 20
seconds of the offline Cloudmade map of Illinois I have stored to come up but
repaints from zooming are pretty quick zooming in and longer zooming out. I
can live with it.
I didn't have the skills to put a pure Linux ROM on a Nexus device so took a
chance on this and quite frankly I'm impressed withit. Sure, only a single cpu
and it's not a fire breathing laptop but I certainly could run portable with
this. I just have to get a B/TTNC to pair and run reliably. I was able to see
a B/T GPS come up albeit a 38.4bps unit. I was able to get an NMEA
9600bpsreceiver to pair with the 38.4 but not with the 57.6 B/T GPS attached.
