Re: GPS dead after 1 day use?

Guys GPS generally was NOT designed for "inside" use. Doing a COLD GPS start inside is hard for any GPS device. Depending on time of day it will vary.

Try using it in your car and use GPSViewer or Google Maps for a Cold GPS start.

I doubt it's the DLL's and just the variability in GPS and trying to use it inside reliably on a COLD start is asking too much. Once locked you can often continue to use it inside.

I updated Friday night with Alltel ROM and it's running great (IN THE CAR) where I need it.

I think Window Mobile is great. Tethered last night after the new ROM, started USBModem and connected laptop with no changes. 1250k/400k (not possible on an iPhone)
Voice command works fantasic over bluetooth headset (except low confirmation which is no biggy). (Not possible on an iPhone).
IGuidance works great (not possible on and iPhone).
My wife was tehthered to work over VPN and we drove 2.5 hours. Never dropped the connection the WHOLE way. She looses connection at home over wifi sometimes !!!

I love this thing. Always room for improvement but for what it is, it's great.
