today I have finished building my HP25E GPS......

Hello Harald,

Congratulations for having built your own HP-25E GPS!!!!

First, it seems that you have the same car than I, congratulations again

Second You must turn around the GPS module to increase the sensibility significantly, it makes a big difference!

Download the newest manual. I changed the image in the manual last week. The picture you are referring to, was posted before I made the experience, that the ceramic side must be placed opposite.

I sent you also a copper foil, which can be placed below the module, don't forget to isolate with tape. This increases the sensibility again. I'm sure you will receive satellites inside your home, when you are near the window.

Third, you will get "GPS OFF" when using an HP-25 Hardware. Am I right to assume, that you have taken an HP-29 or other hardware? They have a different display coding and cannot show the letter F.

Again Congratulations. But be careful while driving. When I tested the HP-25E GPS I was a very dangerous driver, because I didn't look on the street at all. I can't take on responsibility if anybody is using the HP-25E GPS Version in public streets

Bernhard
