In open sky conditions in Jaipur, India (outdoors) the Freerunner normally
gives me a 40s (+ - 10s) tiff while my N 95 takes 60s (+ - 10) [ cold starts
after rebooting on both ]. I have not timed them indoors but will do so and
report after Diwali

I find the FR more or less equivalent to other GPS devices I have. The
biggest factor I notice is weather conditions. In overcast conditions I
can use the GPS anywhere inside my house, as well as outside. Under
clear sky conditions, the GPS will only work outside and will not
acquire a first fix
The FR still takes some minutes to get a fix when in a moving vehicle, and
anywhere inside a building, it is as if it never worked.
Nothing new
Speaking from daily experience the FR is in no way less sensitive than any
other GPSr I have used or was around with while geocaching, and that is

Um, does the Nokia E71 have assisted GPS (AGPS), as I
rather suspect it does? If so,
My brother has Nokia N95 and it has about the same performance as my Neo.
No fix inside, around 40 seconds fix outside.
So it's not worse than others.
Also I have good bluetooth gps, and it has problems getting fix in the city
area or while moving, so you can't blame Neo for not getting fix - it's
Good evening Freerunners :)
I can report a good GPS performance :) Two weeks ago I was testing
tangogps on a hike. A friend was also tracking using his new Garmin.

Again, I must ask. Is AGPS enabled on the Nokia N95? That needs
to be specifically turned on, and a
Again, I must ask. Is AGPS enabled on the Nokia N95?
But when you want to compare N95 GPS with FreeRunner GPS, you must
turn AGPS off in Nokia, or turn AGPS on in FreeRunner...

We are talking here about hardware GPS performance of Freerunner.
So to compare two GPS devices they have to be in equal positions. If Neo
Freerunner not using aGPS N95 shouldn't to for results to be comparable. I
didn't think I needed to clarify this.

Yes, fair enough. You are right. Please see my earlier reply
to Johny Tenfinger.
So, given that both the Neo 1973, and the Freerunner apparently
have AGPS capabilities, I think that what needs to be figured
out is how to send out AGPS data from community servers. Anyone
with any thoughts on this?
Neo1973 doesn't have AGPS capability, but FreeRunner has, and some
time ago

I've signed up for an account but not sure if the scripts worked for me or
not. Haven't tested it fully.
Make sure you update the wiki if you have any success or more information.
