Re: PR 1.3 has improved GPS lock speed
 
+1 for that.
seems to be really faster and the sites load much better

Interesting. Is this using SUPL? I wonder if they've upgraded the GPS chipset firmware or if it's a change to the ARM-side processing of the SUPL data?

i found that interesting too,cause our "maps" look a little bit less epic fail.
anyway
like that.

Hmm, will test it.

Yeah, when I updated Maps I thought the same thing. Lock is much better now. Kudos to 1.3. No real new features but fixed A LOT of little ones that make this device so much better to use.

Didnt you notice the 'refresh route' button on the map after setting a route? That's a real new feature.
Of course still a far cry from a real navigation system, but we'll just have to wait for Meego for that, hopefully.

I don't see any differences at all. Seems to be the same :)
Placebo effects!!

Do you even have satellites in New Zealand!!:eek:

Seriously though, you don't notice an improvement? I achieve lock in a steel building now.

Hahah yes we do, we use the Oceania satellites. I've always get locked really quickly without internet anyway. And always using mine and got it locked underneath 7 floors of thick concrete building, surrounded by building. Software cannot make the hardware works faster beyond its capability you know. I do think this wasn't the case with the GPS locking. Sometimes,someday the GPS locks faster than other.

I think people think that GPS locks faster because they never experiencing the locking speed before, nor paying attention to the timing. Placebo effects!

I suggeset flash it back to PR1.2 and then timing it. Then flash it to PR1.3 then timing it as well. Comparing both time and if you got a proof then I'll believe ya :D
