GPS Tracking

Postby PeterJ » Mon 03 Mar, 2008 10:10 pm

I had my GPS on to help locate a campsite but when I got there I put the unit in my pocket, but forgot to turn it off. I only discovered this mid morning next day and have just downloaded and viewed the track record on the map. What an amazing multitude of tracks I made about the campsite, including heading off to find water. Quite amusing
