Anyone uses TinyGPS and GPSfromOSD ? Could we remove ?

Post by EOSBandi »

Is there anyone who uses TinyGPS and GPSfromOSD ? These code parts are quite old and buggy. I recommend to remove them. If there is no opposite opinion....

I tend to agree.
I doubt TinyGPS is really used.
Mis introduced GPSfromOSD mainly to support MISOSD with a standalone GPS device. Is there someone who currently uses it like this ?

I use GPSfromOSD to test EZ-GUI when I don't want to go and wait for GPS Fix. So if you can please leave it as an option.

For now, it is only usable with m328 boards, but the code size is too high in most cases. Better solution is drop this option.
And best solution is drop support for ugly, small, and problematic 328 boards :roll:

actually I would like to use it now.
I bought the MWC pro with MTK gps which has only 5Hz refresh rate, and I have the Tiny OSD III GPS which has a 10Hz refresh rate plus EEPROM (I beleive). And truth said I would like to connect the TX and RX signals from the OSD GPS to my serial connection. But now the question can the code handle this or not? Has it already been removed? Im using version 2.3.
