Re: GPS question

I have had no problems with GPS either. Neither on the stock Sprint ROM or currently on MatBee 6.5 ROM - 5.2.21857. I am currently running Garmin Mobile XT, TomTom 7, iGO 8, BackCountry Navigator, TrackyPro, GPS Tuner, Bing, Google Maps, Sprint navigator, QuickGPS. With QuickGPS my acquisition time is 5-10 seconds. To avoid any priming issues I just fire up and then close either Bing or Google prior to using any of the others. In all of these I set the GPS to com4 at 9600 baud. The only issue I have is that Garmin is not very smooth, jerky movement on the screen - otherwise all of the others work perfectly.
