+The Blorenges Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 ...or you could use your GPSr to get your face seen all over the World: The World's largest drawing. MrsB Excellent -a GPS without an external antenna that picks up a signal through a plastic case and the screened hull of a plane..... where can I get one ?? Awwwwhhh, keehotee! Don't tell me it could never be done... that plane flying around making all those little curly bits of hair... it's a beautiful concept! Where is your soul? Your artistic spirit? So, it's back to wiggly lines across farmers' fields then? I think I can just about draw a wobbly bunny... <deep sigh> MrsB Quote

+The Blorenges Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 (Hey look folks, we haven't seen this topic for a while! ) I'm sure that we're all delighted to know that, thanks to an accurate GPSr, Snowdon is now officially confirmed as being 1.8m higher than it was last week. A couple of steps further for those doing "Where is Snowdon's Summit?" but I'm sure it's worth it for the view (when you can see it). MrsB Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 I'm glad mum and dad took me up there, all those years ago when I was a young 'un. Seemed high enough then! Quote
+Guanajuato Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Some people use it for aiming/controlling missiles and blowing up civilians. Using GPS for altitude doesn't give particularly good results. With my GPS sat on my desk, the altitude can vary by more than 100 feet. Some GPSs have barometers as well and use the two methods in combination to be more accurate. I've used it for adding to Openstreetmap. I also use it on my phone for logging runs. Quote
