Thats what I thought. Requesting the GSM resource might be a good
idea, if FSO can handle more than one app doing it: this way I
shouldnt have to run other apps if I just want to log stuff.

What logs you want? fso? does openbmap strore it's own logs in
.openbmap.. will check..

For some reason I had this bad feeling that actually it's FSO that
fails, not openbmap..

Well yes, true.. I just didn't believe it that suddenly sometghint
would break so that things stop working if I don't install anything..
I've heard they call Linux stable so I trusted.. :) The only changing
thing here is the country and the GSM cells, other than that I really
can't come up with anything that has changed.
