Speed up GPS:

GPS can be speeded up / shorter time to position fix with some simple tweaks:

First make backup:

cp /vendor/etc/gps.conf  /vendor/etc/gps.conf.bak

Then edit:

vi /vendor/etc/gps.conf

There change this:

NTP_SERVER = ptbtime1.ptb.de

# FOR SUPL SUPPORT, set the following   
# NTP_SERVER = 178.189.127.148     # bevtime1.metrologie.at       # 178.189.127.148
# NTP_SERVER = 178.189.127.149     # bevtime2.metrologie.at       # 178.189.127.149
NTP_SERVER = 131.130.250.250     # ts1.univie.ac.at       # 131.130.250.250        
# NTP_SERVER = 193.171.23.164      # ts2.univie.ac.at       # 193.171.23.164                                 
# SUPL_HOST=146.59.144.170                   
SUPL_PORT=7275                                      

# NMEA provider (1=Modem Processor, 0=Application Processor)      
NMEA_PROVIDER=1

Undo:

cp /vendor/etc/gps.conf.bak  /vendor/etc/gps.conf
