It's good to know that uninstalling and reinstalling Free42 fixed it, but two other options also tend to fix "bad state" problems: (1) force-quitting the affected app, by double-pressing the home button, then swiping the app upwards; this performs a kill -9, which is as drastic as it gets except for (2) rebooting the device.

I had tried both options. BTW, option (1) is the way I always close Free42 on iOS, as shift OFF will only cause a beep, even after rebooting and installing. On my old kindle Fire shift OFF causes Free42 to exit, as expected.

I deleted Free42 from the older device and installed it again. It works fine now. After saving all my programs I'll do the same on the other device.
Thanks again!

Gerson.

Ah, OK, I thought 25°25'25"S was some random incorrect result, but since you're in Curitiba, it's actually entirely plausible. :-)

A quick calculation told me about 6 meters to the north would return 25°25'25.25" S, however here I am limited to only 2 meters more. 25°25'25.25252525... should be actually 10 meters northwards, judging from my outdoors readings. But I can never be sure as I got 25°25'25.26 and 25°25'25.27 and sometimes I would get as high as 25°25'25.40 here:



Likewise, Massimo's latitude is less than 4 km southwards from the Duomo di Milano, which is quite plausible.
Paul Dale's coordinates should be plausible too, except perhaps in this parallel Earth :-)
