Well just to poke the bear, I thought I'd throw an observation in there. One of the unique features of the Prime's OE GPS spec. was the addition of reception of the Russian Glonass GPS satellites. Only a few devices have these receivers. the Prime being one of them. In all the previous...

I did a new install to SD card with the CM7.2RC Most things work as should. Biggest issue is that after some point, the unit will not accept a charge. I plug the cable in (NC Cable/charger) and the light on the cable goes straight to green. Leaving it plugged in for awhile doesn't change...

No. 10 char. ---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ---------- I see the change by adding the word :D . I still don't see how 4.5 meters from the Dual unit is 'shocking' bad accuracy.

Bob- You do realize that 4.5 meters is approximately 15 feet; which would be 1/3 the minimum you got with the beer can chicanery. Indoors (where GPS has very little signal), I'd say that +/- 15 feet isn't so bad, actually pretty darn good.

I was having endless Netflix issues (CM7) and updates that wouldn't work from the Android Market; Then I noticed that Netflix was available on the Amazon market, unistalled, then got the free app from Amazon, and all's been well ever since. Maybe it will work for you?

Google's WiFi location info + WiFi downloaded Emphmeris data tells the GPS chip which satellites should be overhead based on time & location...allowing the receiver to look first for those satellites that should be overhead--speeding up initial or 'cold' lock. I didn't spell out the details but...

Actually ATP has one of the newest GPS reception chips out there, has both US and Russian GPS satellite reception, and reading through Erusmans (sp?) modifications, proves that with a decent antenna design the thing does VERY well. And my point was valid that WiFi on or off GPS signal strength...

I took your post to read that the ATP GPS reception signal strength would be affected by having your WiFi turned on. The 'WiFi' portion of (a)ssisted GPS simply tells the GPS processor which satellites should be overhead in the 'general' area location determined by WiFi location. After that...

So what did you prove, besides the fact that you have no idea how GPS works ?

...."we need sheilded grounded cable - coax" ... of the correct impedance. Probably 50 Ohms, but I'm not sure, and not all coax is the same impedance.

I have one, but these style antenna's are 'Active' or powered; they run off of a small DC voltage supplied by the 'receiver'. Since the TP's GPS antenna is a passive device, connecting one of those to the path of connection for the OE antenna, they won't work. If there is an alternate...

I get what you are saying, and I agree wholeheartedly that the subject has been beaten to a pulp. I didn't start this thread, somebody else did, and they asked a few questions. Folks (like myself) felt the need to answer those questions. Make it so this particular question can't come up...

I really do like the Asus TP, it's a real nice tablet. I have looked at the Tab, and I just don't seem to like the thing. Yes, I do plan on purchasing an alternative. I have and use my Nook Color a lot, and with CM7 it's been a great little tablet. I want a bigger screen, and a functional...

Use your imagination! Think of places where you might want to know where you are but there is no wifi or cell coverage. Think of things you would want to do with that information. Think of reasons for wanting that information integrated within a device you use for other purposes (ie: using...

Regarding your title question.... To you... Not much. To others... I can't say, but for me, I put off my purchase directly because this feature is not available/functional. 'always' = o'rly? As it remains, now, yes, but AFTER ASUS TOOK THAT FEATURE OFF OF THE SPECIFICATION LIST....AFTER...
