theres been a bit of talk on the lx 90 yahoo site with updates and patches for firmware in gps aligning we live east of greeniich and meads gps only gives us major cities

The patch in question only relates to LX90 GPS scopes, and only to the use of the GPS unit itself. It has no effect on aligning per se
When you start yr scope, the GPS is supposed to get date/time and location. Currently, for users east of greenwich, its stuffing up the location, and forcibly reverting them to nearest city.
For users within major cities, this isnt a huge problem,
but the user who found the bug ( in Norway ) was 400km off
and many outback users in Oz will be way off as well.
Using the patch just means you can use the GPS to get date/time/location automatically, which is a good thing, and doesnt affect the LNT.
How you choose to align after that is still up to you.
( however, manual 2 star is the quickest and best )
