Anyone working on GPSOne 6700?

Still, per this thread
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/archive/index.php/t-51.html
(could only find it with Google search, not with ppcgeeks own internal search - odd....),
the A-GPS data are accessible (works on my XV6900/Touch also .

It would seem some kind of programming could correlate the numbers with maps as Delorme Street Atlas and Google Maps do with "real" GPS data, even if not as precise as satellites.

FWIW

Hi. I have worked with a surface mount resoldering station for a few years now. In my work I build custom USB sensors. I even repaired a USB thumb drive I sent through the wash! Anyway, if the only problem is lack of antenna, perhaps I can add one. If someone could provide the antenna schematic and identify the chip and pins it needs to attach to, I am pretty sure I could add it.

the 67 has an external ant mount but that still wont help you get GPS. Save yourself the trouble and get a 68 or something newer.

I found a couple ant connectors inside the 6700. But they look like coax wifi ant connectors. And the traces on the board lead in the direction of the WiFi ant.

weedahoe, Am I reading this correctly? Your profile says you use a 6700, but you're sig says you are using 6800 ROM? On the 6700?

uh, your reading it right, i just got it wrong, I recently switched from the 67 to a 68. I changed my sig but just not the profile, Thx for catching it. But Im telling you, get a 68 and you wont go back. I can wait to see what can be done with the Diamond

So, you are using 6800 and the pics you show are for the accessing internal GPS? Or is this external GPS?

[weedahoe]

it is the internal GPS

(OFF TOPIC) FYI, The server IP in your screen shot, 195.207.101.126, according to arin.net->ripe.net is registered to Belgium (benelux). This is Verizon!?! Strange that the GPS server is in Belgium. Of course if the octets are in reversed order,then it is registered in Japan. Still wierd.

Youre looking to much into it and trying too hard, youre not going to get an IP from GPS not do you need an IP for GPS. I dont have data through VZW and use WiFi where ever I go and that I can be ghosted from anywhere or numerous type proxies.
