TangoGPS is a map application which can utilize Neo's built-in GPS to show your current location.
Website: http://www.tangogps.org
NOTE: There may be other steps because I remember it took a while before my TangoGPS started working, but these are the only things I remember installing |
From the freerunner connected to the internet:
opkg install gpsd opkg install tangogps
If opkg complains about not being able to acquire a lock, try:
pkill packagekit
To get gpsd working on the Freerunner you have to change the configuration according to Gpsd#GPS_on_GTA02. Then start gpsd by:
/etc/init.d/gpsd start
Now you must power up the GPS-chip by opening the "Settings" application and setting the GPS entry to "on". Now you can run tangoGPS and wait until it get's a GPS fix. This can take up to a few minutes.
I think TangoGPS may have started working after I followed the instructions to get GPRS working with GSM multiplexing here: Manually_using_GPRS#Option_1:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_with_a_GUI
There are steps included in those instructions to improve GPS performance. The great thing is that once you get GPRS working, you can roam with TangoGPS running and have it download maps as needed over the GPRS connection!
