"Hundreds of UAVs lost during Melbourne show" by @GPSWorld - #GPS jamming likely caused 350 drones practicing a light show to fall in the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia https://www.gpsworld.com/hundreds-of-uavs-lost-during-melbourne-show/ #GNSS #satnav #UAV #drone #aviation #avgeek

OMG, I have just had the BEST IDEA EVER. A satnav with, like, a set of filters, so that it only shows place-names deriving from a particular language. So you'd start your journey, right, and you'd be, like, OK, we're going to Chester, set the satnav to Latin! Or you'd be, like, arrrgh, I can't find London on the satnav! Oh, wait, we forgot to set it to non-Indo-European. It would be brilliant. #etymology #place-names #satnav

Today's DevRel blog article is on using GPS satellite navigation without an internet connection. Maybe this will help you out next time you're attending a conference abroad.

@GeoffBySea Even if you could, they wouldn't sound like William Daniels.

In fact, come to think of it, the fact that no SatNav system provides a William-Daniels-alike voice option shows an unexploited niche in the market.

If they could put Kenneth Kendall into the BBC Micro in the 1980s, they should be able to put #WilliamDaniels into a SatNav by now. (-:

@ceravanlife my plan has been to use the 4" square #HyperPixel4 as a dashboard computer, an entertainment unit as well as #SatNav but I'm leaning more towards getting a bigger touchscreen. The 7" original #PI monitor looks good, even though it has BIG bezels. But I wouldn't mind going to alternative shapes and sizes (wider and less tall for instance). But you could do a "retro-punk" theme, have it digital but the displays are retro looking ;)

If you struggle with Basecamp, the best alternative is www.myrouteapp.com - which has a Black Friday sale on subscriptions today. Definitely worth it - especially if paired with the MRA Navigation app for phone navigation. Check it out

Some kind person donated this to my collection this week: A fully functional HP IPAQ rx5720 with all its original accessories. Even the battery holds a charge 🔋👍

After some time playing with it I can confirm that Windows Mobile 5 is a steaming pile of 💩
