    Hardware Wierdness

    Ride home didn't fare so well, checked the unit half way home and no LEDs lit at all. Further investigation once home suggested that the GPS module may never have got a fix and so the PocketTrack gave up and shut itself down thinking something was amiss. Lack of standby supply means GPS unit has to do a cold start - has no idea of time or previous location and this takes longer if antenna is moving. Have some bits arriving tomorrow to rectify this so will see how that goes.

    Well chuffed with results from this morning though, if nothing else transmitter and antenna are doing the trick :)

    Encouraging results

    Ride in this morning went well, good coverage on route through the back of Cook - down Heart Break Hill, will see how things go this afternoon on the route through the ANU and AIS.
