There may be no direct link between the two programmes, but perhaps there is an underlying process taking care of the GPS data which they both use.

Whatever the case I have used this technique multiple times and it certainly works.
No way i got to disagree with you here because i deliberatly proved this time again and i am sure there is no underlying link going on here, maybe you just got lucky that OVI was able to lock on but no way there is a link.
Please please someone prove me wrong here.
