improve gps startup latency #150

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I came across this post [1],[2] of Reto Meier in which he describes the way to 
reduce startup latency for location-based apps.

I think every location based app should make use of his tweaks in the hope to 
reduce the time for the first 'gps-fix'.

Reto has the code in a Google Code project, see [3]

Yep I saw those pretty good articles.

This would certainly be an improvement (patches welcome !) however in the case 
of OSMTracker the use case is maybe a bit different, because accuracy matters.

The techniques described favour a quick fix over having an accurate one, which 
I'm not sure is suitable for OSMTracker.
