This is definitely a better way to do it since the GSM signal would probably contain time zone information (especially important for travelers) as well, which I doubt the GPS signal could provide, unless someone can correct me.<br>
<br>Apparently, gsmd has not yet implemented this feature yet:<br><a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gsmd#Currently_missing">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gsmd#Currently_missing</a><br><br>I wasn't able to figure out yet an AT command to retrieve the time. Is that even possible? I saw a few commands for controlling the format, but didn't return the current time.<br>

</div>I've done it with<br>

server <a href="http://127.127.28.0" target="_blank">127.127.28.0</a> minpoll 4 maxpoll 4<br>

<br>
in /etc/ntp.conf (it uses gpsd, aka ogpsd, tho I haven't tried it with<br>
ogpsd). But note that it only gives a 1s accuracy and not only the<br>
"offset" can be large but it can vary. Normally the GPS is used by ntpd<br>
using a PPS interface, which gives much better info, but it appears it's<br>
not available. Not sure if it's a problem in gpsd, or in the GPS chip,<br>
or the driver, or ...<br>
<br>
I'm also wondering if the GSM connection can give us some time info.<br>
It probably wouldn't be high-quality either, but at least it would be<br>
available almost always, so it would be very useful.<br>
