Banglejs2: How to extend the AGPS validity time?

My banglejs2 relies on AGPS to get a GPS fix. But it is effective for at most 1 day. So I have to update the AGPS daily. Is there any way to extend AGPS data validity time?

Not really, since the uploaded data only contains these 24 hours of data. If you can find another file containing more data for the GPS chip you could use that. If you use Android/Gadgetbridge you could use https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=agpsdata to automatically update the AGPS data in the background.

As @halemmerich says, unfortunately the source of data files we have for the Casic chip in the Bangle.js 2 only has data that lasts for a day (I think it's 48 hours but in reality by the time you get the latest and upload it, it'll be less than that).

The Bangle.js one that has Ublox GPS has larger data files available that last for a week. Ideally we'd be able to find a better source for the Casic files, but I guess it may be possible to decode the UBlox ones and then re-encode them for Casic? I'm not sure...

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
