I used to see odd behaviour a bit like that from gpsd when the gps was powered up after gpsd was started. To save a bit of power I took to running gpsd only while the gps was powered up, starting and stopping both from a script. After I started doing that I stopped seeing the odd behaviour, but it could have been coincidence as there was a lot going on around gps in those days. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
