 Be aware that by default data for the maps are stored into your home directory (on the NAND if you're not [[Running_Linux_from_an_SD_card | running off an SD card]]).

 ===== Installation =====
 Installing gpsd is a requirement for using many GPS related programs. It can be installed through opkg, however the version currently in the Angstrom repos is too new for some applications (specifically tangoGPS). However if you want to install it this way you can by running:
-<source lang="bash">sudo opkg update
+<source lang="bash">sudo opkg update http://www.angstrom/distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base
-sudo opkg install gpsd</source>
+sudo opkg install http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd-conf_2.95-r10.0.6_armv7a.ipk
 Now if you do want the older version which does work with tangoGPS, you must download it from [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/gpsd_2.38-r0.1_armv7a.ipk here]. Put that file somewhere convenient, like the root of an SD card. You can still use opkg to install it, for example if you have it on the root of the right hand side SD card:

 Pair your GPS with your Pandora.
 Click on the bluetooth icon in the panel and select "Set up new device..."
 Click "Forward" on the introduction page.
 Select "PIN options" before clicking on anythng else! this is very important, if you do not do this first, it will always pick a random PIN and it will always fail!
 Select the appropriate pin, usually "0000".
 Wait for your GPS to show up in the window, then click on it.
 Click forward, and you should have it paired.

 Until someone makes a PND, you can use opkg:
-<source lang="bash">sudo opkg install tangogps</source>
+<source lang="bash">sudo opkg update
 You should now find TangoGPS in the "other" category of the menu.

 [http://modrana.org/ modRana] is flexible GPS navigation with finger friendly on-screen buttons (keyboard controll is planned in future versions, currently only zooming is mapped to gaming Y and X buttons). PND version of it stores all data on memory card into /media/CARD_NAME/pandora/appdata/modrana/cache. It stores all cached map tiles at default but app also provides clever way of downloading map tiles for offline use. In the menu > download you can decide between several options:
