Once GPS lock is obtained, the 3G phone then switches from the faux GPS location to your actual GPS location<BR/><BR/>I suggested this on the xGPS web site, and theyve said they may look into it (as it gives a faster general location, before giving your specific location with true GPS)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975675032996285431.post-6545436396864003272008-12-05T00:30:00.000-08:002008-12-05T00:30:00.000-08:00@j.d. and Vincent: got to look into MobileSubstrat...@j.d. and Vincent: got to look into MobileSubstrate.<BR/><BR/>@Plak: I have been testing a newer release of xGPS and a lot of bugs have been fixed and things have been reorganized quite a bit. Delay has disappeared (was a screen update bug) and speedometer works properly now (also a bug that has been fixed). Also some new user options are available. Regarding XRoad, most likely they are bound by Apple not to distribute their app as 3rd party software. But maybe if enough of us contact them they might consider making a version that works with serial port NMEA data (or in other words, with the iGPS360 module ;-)GPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331238936838868419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975675032996285431.post-21391197126870865892008-12-04T09:57:00.000-08:002008-12-04T09:57:00.000-08:00Congratulations once again for your flawless work....Congratulations once again for your flawless work.Since the xGPS soft is having an enormous delay(3-5sec) with iGPS360(at least mine has) have you consider other soft options?A company called XRoad is the first to announce a real turn-by-turn,offline GPS system for the iPhone 3G in mid December.Is there a hope for us the 1gen iPhone owners?Will our module be compatible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975675032996285431.post-88340708168366137412008-12-04T08:50:00.000-08:002008-12-04T08:50:00.000-08:00@JD : MobileSubstrate is the way to go, unfortunat...@JD : MobileSubstrate is the way to go, unfortunatly I am also lacking skills to achieve this...
