Expedition mode 9.0

here first small results on expedition mode on 9.0 fw

set up 66i in expedition mode, fully charged

during first 2 hrs checked if all behaves well, power consumption seems OK, resuming takes some 30sec

Trcing points were sent every 4h as unit outside but stationary

Now after some 22h, attempted to resume but:

Resume on the screen, but no way to switch the device on. Resume ist still after 20min on the screen, can not be used.

assuming the FW 9.0 was not tested prior publication at all

  • >> just the GPS radio - no Iridium activity as there would be with a sent point.<<

    yes, but it still checks mail each hour

    from some previous tests I can say that stationary battery endurance of abt 100h will give with same settings, but when actually using it and moving something close to 65-70h

    (this was done with 8.50, no complete test with 9.0 av yet)
