I've seen it go several hours at times. Most of the Americans stop posting around midnight and frequently the Euros don't start up until close to lunchtime.

Eeek, somehow I'm gonna have to build a local map of my rather incomplete and in retrospect, rather muddled gps data:

I don't see why you'd call it "muddled," Mongers, it's clear as day to me.  :)

You mean it's a clear as day it's a muddle? :unsure:

I would say it communicates the information intended with the same crisp precision and stylistic panache as your last post.  :)

A model of clarity.

I seem to be missing a lot more data, that I either didn't transfered or I didn't collect in the first place, it's a problem carry a gps for hours on end hoping to get a good signal, so often easier not to bother whilst out and about.  :(

The file is a merger of all the useful plots I could find, the plan is to now delete tracks bit by bit, adjusting them to know waypoints I've accurately surveyed.

Or next spring I could start again with an ordered plan of what to do.   <_<

What are you planning to do with this information?

Make a few maps of how I get about in the countryside; I'm often stopped by people wanting directions, so it would be easier to just hand them a copy, rather than having to try and explain or show them on an OS map, as many people seem to have difficulty reading those.

You should make some maps where England still controls Calais, Bordeaux and Ireland.  :bowler:

The question is, Is this more intelligible than a Tim map? ;

Read in the NYT Book Review that Alan Greenspan left the NYU economics program before completing his PhD.  NYU later gave him the degree after he had spent some time in business and government.
