[OSM-talk] Galaxy S3 for Mapping

[Toby Murray]

I'm not sure if this was an issue with all S3s but mine had a tendency to
jump back to the last place where a GPS lock was acquired for up to about
10 seconds when I first turned on an app that required GPS positioning. Not
the last place I was when using GPS but the place I was when the GPS system
was booted up the last time. Seemed like an odd thing but it happened
consistently. But yeah, running a GPS logging app in the background to keep
a constant lock will probably help. At the expense of battery life of
course.
