satellite acquisition failure

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Getting finds hasn't been a issue, using the phones network for coordinates. 
Unfortunately, the GPS for tracking has been acting up, it's taking a long long 
time to get a fix here in China; about 10 minutes at best of times when 
standing in one place. I thought it was because we were in china connecting to 
US ntp server, something mentioned in the forums. However, I installed an app 
called "GPS Test" and it worked in under two minutes or so seeing over 10 
satellites at times. There might be something off in the Tracker code the way 
it's searching for satellites perhaps.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to 
run a trace to identify where it's going down.
