I have a problem using Skydemon with my Samsung Omnia i900 with Windows 6.1. Everything works fine except that the "Seeking GPS Satellites" warning stays on all the time, however many satellites are in view or are being used. I have been told that this is because the GPS is not giving the skydemon software a value for "Position Dilution of Precision". All other GPS navigation software works fine on this phone.



I wonder if anyone else has had this problem either with a Omnia i900 or other Windows smartphones / PDAs.



Thanks

Runways, could you go into Settings -> GPS Setup -> Output and let me know what it says for horizontal dop, vertical dop and position dop?

Because a few chipsets don't output the position dop, which is what the warning is based on, we are considering switching the warning to be based on the horizontal dop instead.

Tried putting Skydemon on a Omnia 2 (also Samsung) and the same problem - so yes I guess looks like a Samsung chipset issue with their Windows smartphones.
