The long Weekend - Part 3 another walk

Or
adventures in the high peak part one.
We went on a walk.

As I've lost the waterproof holder for the iPhone I have to put it in my pocket.
Turns out the layer of cloth is sufficient to interrupt GPS signal.
WHAT!.Link

Unbelievable but true.
So the track isn't that good.

    Wierd ain't it?
    The Shmapple 'rossiter works fine in it's plastic holder dangling from my rucksack shoulder strap. In a pocket - nada.
    However it is optimised for townies.
    A-GPs or something.
    X-triangulating with any other location service, WiFi, 3G, PTOS net and satelites.
    Pure satellite next to one of the world's big rocks - Kinder Masiff.
    No chance.
