I remember Pavel was having similar problem - probably weak signal since he said his GPS got fix when he was near some GPS amplifier. Anyways i use N900 nowadays - works nearly perfectly and i love that it has decent camera. Btw a little off topic. Can be N900 kernel compiled using armhf toolchain? So that i can chroot into armhf chroot. I am mainly interested if i could get faster web browser and IIRC QtMoko had much better performance when switched from armel->armhf.

Re: gta02 as gps/navigator (in 2016)
Thanks for the replies. Well it would be nice to use gsm as well... I was thinking about using it also as anti-theft (gps+accel+sms). I remember having a lot of problems of data corruption on the sd card with shr (which was my favourite at the time), that I think might be a serious show-stopper. I will start with debian, and if you have any other ideas please tell.

The 2.6.39 kernel is nearly perfect. It has some kind of very rare suspend resume bug, but for navigation it's not problem. QtMoko has NeronGPS - native Qt and very nice app and also native version of navit: http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/apps/qtmoko-navit.html You can launch TangoGPS and other X apps via QX application. My Freerunner has no longer working GPS, so i am not using it nowadays at all.

Or get a mainstream satnav and put exclusively free software on it. That would probably be the cheapest option. Are there projects to do this?

I think that SHR is the only active, but I haven’t time to test it lately and from http://shr-project.org/trac/wiki/StagingTests it seems that other people had the same problems, But it has god documentation on how to build it and is the one that has more targets ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

gta02 as gps/navigator (in 2016)
Hi all, incredible but true 2016 has arrived. I would like to reuse the gta02 as a gps, I really loved foxtrotGPS and I would like to have something like that running. Any chance to have a distribution that still works on gta02? qtmoko: still there? (even if I remember it was quite uncomfortable running gtk applications) shr: abandoned ? hackable1: disappeared (I have good memories of that one ;) ) Thanks for your help!

Some years ago I tried Debian and I think it would be the best environment if you don't want to use the gsm. Qtmoko runs over Debian as well. By the way I am going to resume my freerunner as well: I'd like to use it as a car navigator with navit.
