Getting my bearings

My new bluetooth GPS navigation Shiny Thing came today! Here's a screenshot from the diagnostic tool that came with it:



That's probably the most boring picture I've ever posted to this blog, sorry!

But you know what they say...

Beware of geek bearings GIFs.

Clarissa  Hum, I see that "most boring picture" is quickly followed by "most awful joke."

Although I suppose that we should at least be grateful she sprang it on us here instead of waiting for Saturday night. 
Gemma  What is it? A dartboard? Some sort of MPEG playback thing?
I suppose GPS is needed out there in the flatlands of East Anglia? There aren't a lot of prominent landmarks, I suppose? ;)

Though GPS would be great in London for navigating down all the rats-warren of small roads to find the tranny locations. The number of times I've circled round Smithfields market looking to find my way home on a night out from Transmission ... 
Becky EnVérité  Gemma: It's a display showing the satellites that the reciever can see, the ones in blue are the ones it has a lock on. It needs at least 3 locks to get an accurate bearing.

Clarissa: Like to see you do better! :-P 
Joanna  Bought myself a Tom Tom navigator a while back... absolutely fantastic... especially around London. 
Becky EnVérité  Yep I'm going to get Tom Tom for my phone, I've seen it at work on a friend's Nokia and it works a dream. :-) 
Lana  Great, put it in your car you'll never get lost again ;) 
Jessica  i just noticed that you blurred out the last few digits of your location :) or maybe it's my eyes, i should go to bed! 
Joanna  Good spot Jessica. I guess thats to stop the US Military dropping a smart bomb down Becky's chimney. 
Becky EnVérité  Yeah, sorry but would you want a group like you lot knowing exactly where you live? ;-)
