Re: Are you happy with your GPS(N810)?
 
can anyone explain how to use agps I have it installed but I guess I'm not using it right I didn't even know it needed net connection. Like do I need to open agps first or map. Also do I just open agps or do I need to do something once it open.

I'm just curious, and this is a tad bit off subject, but has anyone sent an open letter representing the N810 user base stating the problems of the GPS?

Harumph - I spent 20 minutes in (NY's) Union Square probably looking like I was making an offering to the sun-god "GPS". I had it tethered to my phone (which wants a proxy!) and getting nada, zip, zilch.

Though here, in my living room, A-GPS just tells me (on startup) that it wants an internet connection (no proxies here), and the "info" selection always just indicates that "Cached data is not valid".

Meh. Maybe I'll replace A-GPS with "I am Free" or something ....

Since the 0.11 a-gps update I'm getting fix times under 2 minutes consistently on cold starts, and a few seconds on warm starts, as long as there is open sky.
Before 0.11 I could get a fix, close mapper, open it again and not get a fix even in 30 minutes. Now, doing the same, I get the fix in few seconds. So they must have fixed some things.

I was one that defended the sat lock times of the internal GPS......I mean what's a minute here and there to get a lock, but after getting Nokia's ld-3w sirf bluetooth gps; warm times are down to 10 seconds and cold times take 30 seconds, it just highlights the deficiencies of the onboard gps and I don't think any amount of tweaking will solve the issue.

I also tested the new a-gps update on the internal GPS and I was 2 minutes cold and 1 minute warm to get a lock.

I would have been more likely to respond "yes" if the full Wayfinder was reasonably priced. When I can go buy a GPS unit for $100, paying $113 (USA at current rate) for a license to enable a mediocre solution is ridiculous.

There are tricks around this issue. Search around.
