Refresh Interval Questions

First does it hurt anything to have the refresh at 1min??? I have unlimited data.


Second, on the refresh does it just send the data after the refresh or does it rescan the sats at that point and send the data?? For example if I walk into a BLDG. in between intervals, once the interval hits will it send my last known position outside the BLDG. or my last position the according to the last interval. Sorry if that's confusing, I was having a hard time explaining it.

Thanks,
Scott

Every data sending is preceeded by a fresh GSP aquiring so when you are in building it either fails sending or sends the new position inside the building, not the last position.

1 min interval uses more data bandwidth and battery.

Ok thanks I got it, it does not hold a constant fix.

Thanks,

1 min fix is best suited for a in vehicle application.

in fact, i usually keep the one in my truck on 1 min, but since its charging whenever the truck is on, and it a i605 with a big battery, its no biggie.
