Re: Gps problems
I have had some of rouge gps coords myself. Ummm.. If you have been having heavy overcast conditions it can cause weaker sat signamls to disappear altogether .
Which make and model GPSr are you using?
I'll do some digging wround the internet and see if I can come up with some remedies for poor signal

Re: Gps problems
Okay BoBer.. Did some digging.. not really much to help with GPS reception other than
A) use an external GPSr antenna if possible
B) relocate the GPSr to reduce interference from other objects
C) wait for better weather LOL
YEah I have had data jump on me just like that before. I'd send pic but that just gonna take tooo long LOL

Re: Gps problems
I've seen data like that when i have a real low amount of satellites. Vistumbler uses a checksum that is in every gps string to determine if the gps information is corrupt, but you still see some weird data like this with a low number of sats.

Re: Gps problems
Andrew is correct... The more sats, the more accurate the fix.. this goes for all GPSr's... The first image you sent, apparantly you had enough of a signal/sat loss that you had one set of coords zero out at position N00.0000 and E000.0000 .

Re: Gps problems
Hi bober
I am doing ma ms project in war driving and i am stuck with the gps part
GPS status shows that port error when i try to use TOM TOM GPS device.
Do I need to use different gps device?
