gps issue

For everyone with GPS issues who is able to download Apps via IDE, I did a quick & dirty hack:
There is a very nice Acceleration Logger App ( https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/t­ree/master/apps/accellog ) which I modified for logging NMEA data.
As I hacked it with a minimum effort, all explanations how to use the Acceleration Logger App are still valid - it just will not log acceleration any more but raw NMEA telegrams. Also the files that contain NMEA data are still named accellog.?.csv .

To use my attached code, do the following steps:

• download the "Acceleration Logger" App from https://banglejs.com/apps
  
• start the Acceleration Logger App, stop it and download the data to get used to it.
  
• load GPS-NMEA-Logger.js into the Espruino Web IDE https://www.espruino.com/ide or the IDE you're using and download it to RAM.
  
• use it as learned above.
  
  

The downloaded accellog.?.csv should contain something like this:

$GPTXT,01,01,02,MA=CASIC*27
$GPTXT,01,01,02,SW=URANUS5,V5.1.0.0*1F
$GNGGA,185459.750,,,,,0,00,25.5,,,,,,*7C­
$GPGSV,2,1,06,02,30,050,,12,27,100,,18,1­3,178,,25,57,100,,0*62
$GPGSV,2,2,06,26,24,289,,32,07,230,,0*65­

$GPGSV,2,2,06,26,24,289,,32,07,230,,0*65­
$BDGSV,1,1,00,0*74

$GPGSV,2,1,06,02,30,050,,12,27,100,,18,1­3,178,,25,57,100,,0*62
$GPGSV,2,2,06,26,24,289,,32,07,230,,0*65­

If anyone has severy problems with GPS reception, post the .csv here (please not more than ~80 lines) and I will have a look at it.
