What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use a 10Hz GPS (and I'm looking at 20Hz) 2. Run some of the other aps 3. Watch them lag or the map moves and current location goes off screen
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? App would keep up
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? It is being asked to refresh too often
Please provide any additional information below.
I don't know how hard, but it would help to have an option that would limit the update events to 1Hz or 2Hz (with full throttle as an option). The pin flashes in the BTGPS app but it keeps up. Something with many layers can have problems keeping up with a change location every 100mS.

Posted on Jan 22, 2011 by Swift OxInteresting observation, thanks. Can you suggest a free one that has that problem (my GPS only has 1 Hz, but I can fake GPS data :). Optionally limiting the update rate to e.g. 1 Hz isn't hard ("check time to last update, t < 1.0 s => drop it). I'll add it to the list.

Posted on Jan 22, 2011 by Helpful RhinoI don't have a free one, but if you can PM me I can send you one of mine to keep for testing (I have three wintecs and three venus chip based all doing 10Hz). It is a GBLOX if I remember so the config software is available by googling. I'll also send a donation early next week. Thanks again.

Posted on Jan 22, 2011 by Swift OxHi. I've asked for the name of a free app that shows problem with 10 Hz updates :)

The latter has links to a video showing the "you are here" dot lagging.

Posted on Jun 23, 2011 by Helpful RhinoRadaractive update to 1.9 and thinks an ipod with your stack is still an iPod. The app is free. Is it possible to look at it again to make it think it is on something with gps?

Posted on Jun 24, 2011 by Swift Ox@tz2 The updated tweak I made in March works for Nike+ GPS, Tom Tom, and Radar Active (just double checked). Please replace /Library/MobileSubstrate/GPS-Support.dylib with this one: http://code.google.com/p/btstack/issues/detail?id=84#c17
sorry, the BTstack GPS update is still on hold, but I'm getting there.

Posted on Jun 24, 2011 by Helpful RhinoOK, that's weird.
I have an 8G ipod touch "3rd" (but really 2nd) generation. Radaractive works on that.
On my other iPod, 32G/4thGen, deleted app, copied in the new dylib, rebooted (poweroff-on), reinstalled radaractive, and it says I have an iPod.
