Go to View->GPS Status and it should tell you when it last heard from the GPS. Another way: Go to File->Configure->Change Debug Level and enter 128, then click OK. You should start seeing the GPS strings on the xterm you started Xastir from. Enter a '0' on that same dialog and hit OK again to stop the output. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
