Unless you ditch your sd card as a data store.

All new FR's have the HW fix and new software will be written to take
advantage of that HW platform.

The software fix alone allows you to get a fast TTFF but after that, sd
card data transfers are just to noisy to maintain a high quality GPS
data stream.  Yes it works but poorly, which is better than not at all.

I have two Fr's, once I get the caps(this week). I'll do the HW fix on
one, install the software fix on both, and do a side by side comparison.

Does the Qtopia distro have the GPS fix and GPS software?  If not is
there a GPS package I can install on Qtopia?
