# beta_12 — GPS hotfix (one user-facing note per non-blank, non-# line; # lines are section comments)

# --- GPS fix (headline) ---
Fixed GPS being slow to get a fix — or sometimes never acquiring at all — on the T-Deck. The GPS receives its data over a small serial buffer, and on the busy touch UI a heavy screen redraw could stall long enough to overflow it and drop the satellite data mid-stream, which forced the receiver to start over. The buffer is now 16x larger, so those redraws no longer cost you the fix — acquisition is back to normal (a fix in about a minute instead of several, or none).

# --- A note from Kaj ---
More and more people are picking up wadamesh lately — which is genuinely awesome — and it's surfacing feature requests and bug reports fast, in big numbers.
I can't get back to every post in every channel, but I'm on it: I'm prioritising the fixes and quality-of-life improvements, and I'll be working through them later today. Thanks for all the reports and for the patience!
