[maemo-users] can't get a gps fix (was Re: Looking for gps logger for n810)

[From: Samer Azmy]

Hello,

Please have some patience and do the following
1) Setup Maemo to use Bluttooth GPS (I know that you are using the internal
GPS, but this is how it works)
2) Try to put it in a clear sky position
3) Give time

let me know , if it worked

Regards
Samer
