Re: Alltel ROM vs JD's 6.1 GPS ROM - GPS Performance Poll

Good idea on the poll but misleading questions.

You should be Comparing COLD Start of GPS on both.
And you also need to describe what software your using to initially lock with.

Warm starts are meaningless.

Outdoors running AllTel 6.0 ROM Google maps from COLD start locks in about 1 minute everytime. Doesn't matter if a I soft reset or not. I expect JD's runs the same and is the least thing to be comparing.

I think it's running great but Google Maps seems to tickle it on Cold Start better than using GPSGate with iGuidance. After Google Maps has locked in and I can shutdown and iGuidance /GPSGate will work fine (just tested on 2 hr road trip and it worked with out a hitch). Ran 2.5 hours with screen on and still had 30% battery left. Not bad.

I think some apps like Google Maps is tickling the "assist" in aGPS on Cold Start while using just GPSGate with iGuidance does not and takes forever.
