Re: Alltel GPS with A-GPS - super fast lockon

This works great on Sprint. Just as how it says to do it.

Only issue Im having is iGo8 locks up if I dont run either GPS Viewer or FreeCaddie first. This only happens after a soft reset. Say I open FreeCaddie, close Freecaddie. Then when I open iGo it runs and gets locks ridiculously fast. Now if in 15 minutes I run iGo8 again it opens the same way. However if I soft reset then try to run iGo8 it hangs on the starting screen.

I also had to set the baud rate to auto. If I set it to anything else it would freeze right at that screen.

Ive been testing this the last couple of days and its really accurate. I was figuring that it might loose at least a little accuracy but its pretty much dead on. Tried it yesterday on my course and compared it to my buddys range finder, it was within a yard or two.
I also just came home from work this morning and set iGo8 to get me home and it worked great.

Great find shadow tech. Maybe the issue with iGo8 freezing will be fixed. Seems to me that the gps is on and iGo8 sees it but it really is not and it just sits there trying to read it.

The combination of this and no2chem's nueRom3 makes iGo stay open and works perfect. Before it would shut down due to low memory. But I was also only getting 18mb after soft reset and having GPS Viewer and iGo8 open would eat that up. Now Im getting 28mb after soft reset (and thats running SPB mobile shell and s2u2) and not having GPS Viewer open it leaves plenty of memory left.
