MTK GPS: how to add a backup battery?

Posted by Dror Caspi on March 20, 2011 at 12:49pm
Hi,I have the MTK GPS basic board, without the backup battery. This has the very annoying effect of having to wait "forever" after each main battery disconnect. I understant that the GPS does a cold restart since it loses its RAM content. So the question is: can I connect a backup battery? How do I do this?[In the attached picture: this is me waiting and waiting and waiting in vain for the GPS to lock...]Dror

    I have also timed this process..it seems you need to wait at least 5 minutes for a decent number locked, the longer (20 minutes>) the better...must be a faster/better way?
