 Hi all,

 I can't get TangoGPS to find my GPS when using 2008.8. Instead of all 
 the useful information at the bottom, it shows 'No GPS found'.

 Locations works so I know my GPS unit is okay. And I made sure I turned 
 the GPS 'On' in the settings menu.

 What am I missing here?

 thanks,

 First you have to install gpsd (it will tell you if it's already installed):
 # opkg install gpsd
 Then:
 # echo GPS_DEV=\/dev/ttySAC1\  /etc/default/gpsd
 and then restart gpsd:
 # /etc/init.d/gpsd restart
 The restart command has failed for me a couple of times (cant remember on
 which image) so just stop and start it if it fails.
 
 I hope this helped :-)
 

Yup that did it. Thanks. I actually found these instructions on the wiki 
a few days ago. I vaguely remember doing this when I first installed 
Tango, so I'm not sure why it stopped working.

thx!

I suspect its because gpsd is not available on OM2008.8 by default.
