When I do a disconnect and reconnect I have a maybe 1 in 20 chance of getting an update (vs. last value seen). I have never seen an automatic update after the comm error.
I also sometimes see a log pause when connecting, like something is getting reset. After this reset I often see a locked GPS and lat/lon/etc.
If there is value to you in this I’m happy to provide data/debug. I’m also happy to get the GPS unit you recommended as a solution.
On the specific GPS unit I am using, this is something I have had for a long time and use it with various software and have a high degree of confidence in it, it also works great with the u-center software provided by ublox. It would also be interesting to know what GPS you have tested with and if any use ublox chips.
on the baud rate I am set at 115200. 2k is a fair bit of data, I may not be compliant with your timeouts.
thanks for the help.
