GPS lock time Trinity against Mio A701

I've only had my M700 a couple of days. I've sim and cid unlocked it and flashed the rom to wm6 with radio 1.41 and installed my normal selection of programs including GPSMonitor. This enables you to tweak the settings of the internal gps reciever and I've altered my setting to the ones in this link http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=47817
These are the same settings I've been using in my A701 with its sirfIII receiver. Once installed I started the app on both pda's at the same time ( pda's side by side on the arm of my sofa ). The Mio got a lock first but the trinity was only 6 seconds behind. The trinity was locked onto one more sat than the Mio and it was the first time I'd tried using the gps on the trinity so it was definetly a cold start.
First impressions are very good. I'll use my TT6.03 for a couple of weeks and see how reliable it is compared to the mio, hopefully i won't experience any freezing. I remember my old xda2i (alpine) had a freezing issue with tomtom and the cure for that was to use a high speed sd card (used Transcend x80).

Hi,
I've read your post and it's very interesting.
I haven't found the GPSMonitor, could you tell me where to find it?
Thank you very much.

Sorry for the delay in reply but I've been away for a bit. Below is a link to a download page.

Are you talking about this app? http://www.miousers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=148&highlight=
Seems that there's not much you can actually tweak - I guess you won't be attempting to change the GPS protocol from NEMA to SiRF on a Trinity, right?

I have tried this link and have been going round in circles without being able to find the cab to download.

I auto log in at mio users and the download is probably for registered users only.
Heres the cab itself. The only things I've changed are the settings for GGA, VTG etc,

[Q] Offline navigation for iconia a501

Hi,
I'a going to buy an Acer Iconia a501 tab.
But I want to know is there some offline navigation software for this screen resolution? If yes, could You post names of supported softwares ?
Thanks a lot

Google Maps will now cache maps (a 10km radius of any points you specify) so you don't need an active 3G connection. Look in the Labs settings on Maps.
But if that still doesn't suit you could try TomTom or something? I'm sure that will be on the market or similar. Maybe something from Garmin?

For sure there are Copilot and Navigon on the market.

Sygic Aura, you can download the maps.

I have a A500 and sygic worked for about 3 days than all of the sudden it simpli exits at the connecting screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? Is it because of the last update?
L.E Solved it, it crashes if I have wifi on, without wifi, works like a charm... I reccomend sygic, it's blazing fast on a500

GPS working but no fix

Guys i need some help.
Some months ago my father's gps on his advantage stopped working. Programs could see the internal gps unit but couldn't fix even one connection with satellites even if i left out for one hour .
If i plugged an external ( bluetooth ) gps then everything are woriking perfectly.
A while ago i serached on the net for the gps module to see if i can just replace it . To tell the truth i couldnt find anyhting that would make me sure of the result.
i dont want to open it as it is not mine and m father needs it very much even if the gps is not working. on the other hand if he ll give it for have it fixed they will telll him that it is not for his best interest to fix it as the cost would be a replace of the main board ( this happened before with some minor problem)
So end of story for this unit's gps ? Can you think of anything that i could do to save the athena and bring it back to the old good days with the gps working perfectly ?
Thanks in advance guys .

Glonass & kitkat

Hi, after installed 4.4.2 DBT i'm unable to fix using glonass, the fixing is done only with Gps.
I'm using GPS Status to verify the issue.

I second that
No Glonass on Omega v23 kitkat also. My i9505 sees glonass satelittes, but does not lock to them.
Any solutions?

Nothing is a know bug. CM11 seems to be safe.

no solution (yet)
It would be interesting to see experience of other i9505/kitkat users (if possible GPS status screenshots also).
I would like to switch to some custom kitkat ROM which has no such problems with glonass lock, if such exists.

Mine is a i9500 and GLONASS locks just fine! Lol, what could a dev has done so good that GLONASS doesn't get a fix I wonder
Ground floor, inside my room.

Thank you for your answer, now I am even more confused. I have made clean installation, and as I can see other have that problem too on omega, which is only slightly modified ROM.
Which ROM are you using?
Thank you once again )

I am also having the GLONASS issue after updating to I9505XXUFNB8. Using tools like GPS status I know that the device can see the GLONASS satellites, but they are all greyed out and not being locked. I am getting a fix on US GPS satellites only. GPS and GLONASS worked fine in 4.3.

GPS is usually fine, but under some conditions, when GLONASS would be helpful (and it doesn't lock :/, it is greyed out), accuracy is very degraded.
