Hi

On my Rpi 4 4GB while operating at home without a GPS unit plugged in, using home

wifi I am seeing on the Conky display instead of "No GPS" I think "Some err". I think

I have traced it to the result of a script named "get-grid" which when executed with

the command ./get-grid has an long error starting with "Some error....".

Now in the past operating in this manor I would get on Conky "No GPS" which is what

I would expect now too. In the past there is a file in one of the Conky folders I edited

to echo my grid square to print on the display, which if operating in the field with a

GPS unit plugged in to show the actual grid square from the GPS unit. Used to work

fine.

Any ideas as to what may have changed to this, seems that it should show correctly

as "No GPS" like before. I would like to get back to normal.

You will typically only see "Some err" when you don't have the GPS software installed. Use the BAP update tool and install/reinstall GPS and GPS update tool.

Hi Jason

Thanks for that tip, since I hadn't planned on using the GPS unit while not making any portable outings I

didn't think I needed to install GPS. I will go back and update now and remember to install in future for

any possibility.
