Lost GPS in Preston (15/7/2003)

[Alexander T. Sm]

How ironic, I lost/mis-placed/had stolen my Garmin eMap while in Preston on Wednesday. If anybody is
offered such a unit with the serial number 99235349 please contact myself or the police immediately.
It has a slightly scuffed display (after about 2 years of use) but is otherwise anonymous.

Alex.

It may be no encouragement or help -- but it knows exactly where it is !!

Certainly. Over the hill and through the woods -- I was going to grandmother's house you see.

Unless the batteries have expired? Don't GPS's suck the juice out of batteries at a hell of a rate?
Why don't they make one that runs off the mains?

No they use it for precision application of seed, fertilisers and pesticides. It can also be used
when harvesting to record the yield of the fields by area so that in the next cycle the application
of seed / fertiliser can be adjusted to boost poor areas.

I'm working on it. I've got one that works quite successfully, but it needs time consuming
recalibration with an OS map every time you change the socket you're using.

Mains?? You must be walking in some very strange places if you've got mains access!

There will soon be lap top computers that run off of methane.

Probably needs one to navigate from room to room at home.

I quote from an article lurking in the databases here in the Nut Mines:

"Tractors constitute the largest sector within this market [Agricultural Machinery in Germany],
accounting for almost 50% of sales in 2001. Tractors have become more sophisticated with *on-board
satellite navigation systems*, hydraulics and three point linkages increasing productivity."

I know that farms are getting bigger these days, but do they /really/ need sat-nav to find their way
back from the Thirty Acre Field?
