    Hello Robert,
    thanks for the greade Project!
    Can you modify the OLED output for more detail on the Lat and Long?
    it is now xx°. yyto xx°. yy zz" ?
    Also to " degree, minutes, seconds "

    Best Regards
    Andreas

    All OK,
    EQAscom shows degree, minutes, seconds! The same as the OLED!
    Thanks Robert.

    Hi Robert,
    I copied the new myold to the library folder, but the degree is not a °
    rather a !.
    Any Idea?
    Best Regards

    Hi Andreas
    My fault. I forget to replace the OLED library with the newer one.

    Hi Robert,
    no problem, now i have a °.
    Thanks!
    One more question: Is there a "Dimm-Function" on the OLED?
    The Boot-Screen "myGPS-OLED GPS" is much brighter than the "Data-Screen" with Dtae, time, Lat, a.s.o.

    Yes
    Line 266
    myoled.Display_Dim(0;

    sets the display to dim after writing the boot messages

    you could change this line to
    myoled.Display_Bright();

    for a bright display

    Cheers
    Robert

    To get a desired level of brightness, you can use

    myoled.setContrast(255);

    and change the above value of 255 to any value between 0 and 255 (0 meaning dim and 255 meaning bright. I use a value of 255 for bright and a value of 0 for dim.

    Hi Robert,
    looks much better, because i use red foil on the OLED.
    Thanks.
    Cheers!
