T-mobile even more plus

[omcomali.rhn at porcupinefactory.org]

Hi Ed,

Congratulations for capturing the beautiful GPS track. Could you share how you managed to do it? Did you wait for the plane to start or did you get on the plane with a GPS fix?

Both times I tried, the Freerunner lost fix just before the start.

Cheers,
rhn
