[Ovmsdev] Kia Soul status.

Geir,

that sounds great :)

Regarding the passive GPS antenna, I've got mine now, it's this one:

…and it's a bit disappointing. I don't get any better results than with the simple GSM antenna. It's more the opposite, I had 10 satellites with the GSM antenna
in about a minute, this GPS antenna needs around 10 minutes to get there and then doesn't get better.

So maybe you could first try a second GSM antenna instead. Or maybe the LANCOM antenna is garbage, it's one of the cheapest passive antennas available.

Regards,
Michael
