Hi,
Do you mean your phone was inside your backpack and it could reliably save  
a position every 3 seconds? Or was it stuck to the outside of your  
backpack?
And you were not using the 'assistive' part of a-gps, i.e. not  
communicating with a server to provide positioning info?

I'm surprised as I heard reports from other devices of people having to go  
up on a hill and wait for 10 minutes before they got a position fix...


BTW, I think you have a small error in the title "Qtopia on Neo1973  
unrevealed!". If you meant to say they have hidden something that was  
previously revealed it is correct, otherwise you'd want to use 'Qtopia on  
Neo1973 revealed' or 'Qtopia on Neo1973 unveiled'
