[OSM-newbies] Mapping software question

[Habib Habib]

Thanks Claudius. When I was installing WhereAmI, the installation kept
failing by telling "Certificate error contact the application provider", so
I turned off the Online certificate check setting and installed. That may be
the reason it is not picking up GPS. Does someone has some experience with
that?
