Re: TomTom is really slow!

I applied the GPS logging fix last night and just tested it a little while ago -- no go. Seems no faster or different without the hack and when I manually configured the GPS for 115200. This is on a stock VZ TP2 -- the only things I've added are Rescoe Explorer and TomTom so far.

I'm going to get iGo installed and go with that that. I prefer TomTom but I'm a field tech and use GPS to get to where I need to be. Since I already carry a cellphone (GSM) for work, having one device with GPS that works accurately is crucial.

Although, as an anecdotal aside, I do find the situation odd. With the original TP, I used a puck with TomTom and performance was spot on. Once VZ unlocked the GPS, I started using the internal chip and TomTom performances did take a slight hit, but nothing like what I'm experiencing on the TP2.

EDIT: Pardon my spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm working through a bad cold. Damn kids.
