Re: [gpsd-users] Get fix mode with disconnect antenna

[Yakov Shmulevich]

Hi Gary,

You don't understand me, I disconnect the antenna, so at this time the PVT data by sure changed.

At least I expected that gpsdata.fix.mode will give me MODE_NO_FIX1.

But I got the data as before disconnecting antenna, include gpsdata.fix.mod=MODE_3D.

I found the workaround, but it seems me very ugly.

Now every time that I want to get PVT data, I open the session by gps_open(), and after I get the PVT data I close the session by gps_close().

Also this solution have some strange behavior - I found that after gps_open() I get right PVT data only after 3-5 gps_read().

It despite the fact that I am using gps_waiting() before gps_read().

Thanks,

Yakov

The reference point is the time of the last fix you got.  If the last fix
you got is 10 seconds old, and you are not getting any new data then
you are not getting any new data.  gpsd only passes on what the GPS
give it, and when the GPS stops talking gpsd has nothing to pass on.
