Buenas noches,



First of all, thanks for that great app you made, I use it since a year and I'm a complete fan  :-)

I just wanted to ask you your help about an issue I'm facing with it since a while; the tracks I'm recording seem to be jumping a few thousand kilometers southbound close to be the equator. It wasn't happening very often before but now I get it almost on every recording I do, even several times during a single trip. I send you a pic of a "jump" I experienced today; it was recorded during a flight from spain to northern France; I'm using Oruxmaps on a Samsung Tab2 with a bluetooth gps antena QSTARZ 818XT



Gracias por su ayuda.

Hi;



nice jump to 0ºN, 0ºE  :)



Sounds like your external gps occasionally returns these coordinates, it is the first case I see. It's weird because the NMEA sentences have a checksum field, which is checked by oruxmaps.



Have you tried using a bridge program like gps provider?

Hi,



Thanks for your reply, I've tried to use my gps receiver with my phone (xperia p) to check wether it makes any difference, but I can't connect it, it says that the phone "can't communicate with the gps receiver".



 I did install bluetooth gps provider on my tablet as you suggested and will try it in the next days to see if there is any improvement... Is there any thing I could change in the settings to try to solve the problem, is it possible to force oruxmaps to ignore those jumps to 0° N 0° E?



greets,
