Is this issue resolved with the fix you provided in #20?

gefin commented 8 years ago

No, #20 is a fix for SiRFstarIII on TOMTOM 730 without using gltt.

This fix is for devices like TT XL. It use global Hammerhead GPS and need gltt. The gltt extracted from this device need this symlink to find the GPS chip.

Oh I see, thank you for clarifying. I pushed a fix in 39e3da0 to get gltt working. Does the patch resolve the issue?

Thank you. The patch work well on the TTXL with gltt. I can suspend and resume running navit. It takes only short time to get the actual position.

I just build the new system. Aside my local problems It work out of the box. Just install the map. I'm not sure about the "include SDL" and "stripped libfreetype" problem.

Just installed the yesterday circleci opentom-extra.tar.gz in the TT730( no gltt used ) Great. Just installed the map and it work well. It look like the problem is my environment.
