So, I've been playing around a bit more with the Android chinaphone and GPS.
What is a good forum to join for issues related to this subject?
For example, I've got my external GPS tracker connected to the phone via bluetooth, and I'm getting way better GPS performance, even under the trees around the house.
Supposedly this also gives much better battery life, my other big issue.
I've done some more reading on the subject, and it appears that away from cell network / data services, the A-GPS based chippers used in many phones can have issues similar to mine.
However, the only app that seems to utilize the external GPS is Oruxmaps. Google maps doesn't, nor does OsmAnd.
Oruxmaps would work for me, except that the map download / management capabilities seem to be way behind OsmAnd.
However I really like all the different maps available on Oruxmaps.
And working out a complex route on all of these socks compared to the newer Garmins I have.
