Re: GPS not working

Can you explain what you mean by "OSM" in this question?  Are you talking about some piece of software?  If so, what is it called and where did you get it from?

Re: GPS not working

Had a similar issue - mine just randomly started going to all 0's on S/N for every satellite. I got GPS Lock maybe once a week, if i was lucky. I simply unplugged the antenna and plugged it back in, and voila, worked. Required one medium sized phillips screwdriver and about 10 minutes of work.

Re: GPS not working

As far as I know, the data format used by this device is neither published nor has it been reverse engineered, so it is not possible to create OSM maps that would fit.

Re: GPS not working

You guys need to provide some information, seriously. Its simply not even possible to help you. GPS from your car? From your cellphone? What application do you use? When the GPS from you car is not working - contact your car manufactor. When there is some routing-problem, please contact your car manucactor (Audi, BMW, whatever).

That all does not sound like an OSM problem, sorry

Re: GPS not working

I also use X5, I see this OSM is working very well. You can give your car to Salon.
