What type of interface? gpsd? Serial? What sort of GPS? What version of Xastir? There was a bug a while ago that wouldn't recognize some GPS sentences that weren't actually GPS (i.e. glonass, beidou, etc.). That bug was fixed years ago, but if you're running a packaged Xastir from some linux distro it could be old enough to still have that problem. No not enough information to tell what's going wrong. -- Tom Russo KM5VY Tijeras, NM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@lists.xastir.org http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
