Host 216.198.139.92
Port 8889

I am now getting locks in 10 secs a la WinMo even indoors. YMMV.

Okay, so this didn't actually solve anything. It appears that I still randomly get locks...but mostly none at all.

I have tried using Winmo to get a lock first and then running haret but that always causes kernel panic and a reboot of the phone. When I load up Linux again that is when I will sometimes get a lock. Other than that, just a couple of satellites.

Could anybody shed some light on this? Other Bell users? Is your GPS running fine?
