GPS Update Interval

Hi All

Thought of another question that many others might also have, so i started a new thread Mr. Green

Are there any (or is it possible) to change the default update inteval for gps receivers from once per second, to something less, for example once every 0.5 seconds or so ?

Or is this interval set on the actual satellites themselves ? Question

Thanks

This is set in the GPS receiver itself and cannot be changed. Unless the manafacturer changed the firmware, but I have never heard of this happening.

You can change the update interval of various pieces of GPS data on the TomTom unit using a program such as Winfast Navigator which is in the Leadtek downloads section of this site. (Leadtek make the TT BT unit).

Make sure you know what you are changing and why you are changing that parameter before you do it by downloading and reading the intructions.

However you may find that there are no benefits in changing the settings due to issues such as GPS accuracy and the way your software interprets the data.
