Networking for Communications Challenged Communities: Architecture, Test Beds and Innovative Alliances Grant Agreement: Nokia 810 application: Maemo Mapper [#1037] Power saving mode for slow motion (walking) Date: :15 Sender: Andrew Daviel On the N810 tablet (internal GPS), it is not the Bluetooth, it is the GPS chip that consumes most power. The version of mapper I have (2.4.1) does not turn on the chip when using localhost:gpsd but does when using Bluetooth to talk to itself - I guess that the N810 listens for Bluetooth location requests and turns on in response (and times out if there are no requests for a while). So, for the N810 at least, this feature (power saving mode which makes a location request every minutes) would save battery. Even better would be to use gpsd and the Nokia API to actually turn the chip on and off every few minutes - it takes about 30 seconds to get a fix if it has a recent position and almanac, so getting location every 5 minutes would be a 10x saving in GPS chip power (I estimate 10 hours of tablet battery continually polling the GPS vs 100 hours almost always idle)Andrew Daviel Date: :16 Sender: John Costigan Maemo Mapper can't generally tell the bluetooth receiver how often to send updates. It is the receiver's decision. The only other alternative would be to connect to the receiver, get a single point of data, then immediately disconnect. Perhaps there is a GPS receiver that allows you to specify the time resolution of its output?John Costigan
