Re: GPS Lag with Sprint Nav on Touch Pro

Well,

I did more experimenting.

Using google maps, I set the GPS management to manual under options. I set COM4 port and tried all baud rates. As the rate went up, the lag decreased. At the rate of 0 (last option down the list), the lag was minimal at 65mph using bridges as points of reference.

Then I went back to TeleNav, and there was no difference. Lag was as bad as before. I opened google maps again, and again the lag was minimal, position detection was more accurate, and my seetings have not changed (still was on manual).

I was wandering if those setting changes applied to google maps only and if there was a way to make them apply to all GPS based programs???

I did notice that downloaded data soared from 100-200 kb at 4800 baud rate to 2000kb at 0.

Any comments or thoughts?

Thanks
