[gps-talkusers] Re: Confused GPS--its quite literally turned around

Alex,  
What you are observing is not the normal.  I would need to know several
other pieces of information.

1 The Receiver type.
2 The quality of the satellites, poor, fair, good. Ect.
3 The heading when this occurs. 
4 The status of look around mode. 

Please give me a telephone call or drop a note.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] Confused GPS--its quite literally turned around

Hello All:

My GPS software (running 3.3 on a BN Mpower with Keysoft 7) keeps 
getting turned around.  It will tell me a landmark is ahead and 
left, when a sighted person tells me they are looking at it and 
it is behind and right.  You can imagine the other combinations.  
The same thing happens for roads--it tells me I am coming up to a 
road, then, after I pass the road, it will tell me the same road 
is still ahead, the measure growing as the road, in reality, gets 
further behind.

Is this a normal thing, or am I just lucky? Also, does anyone 
have hints on a faster satellite fix? Does it help to face it 
away from the sun or anything like that?

Thank you, and have a great day,
Alex
