@Marek: There is a bug, if you use 2 GPS applications the GPS will not
work for both of them. You can use one, close or leave a while in
background and then run the another.

If you use  a GPS application, the GPS will cache the position for
another. Then, if you run OSMScout, close it and you go to a scope,
the precision will be perfect.

A hug.
