I'm doing todays dump right now.

cat kismet-20050813-*.xml > wigle0813.xml
gzip wigle0813.xml
post wigle0813.xml.gz to wigle. Works much better than sending up 20 induhvidual files.

I'm using ESR's 2.22 release, running stable as all getout. 2.29 was giving me about 20% without location.

Thanks for that. I tried combining the other formats with some sucess but uploading was quicker. I'll go this route from now on.

The only time I have trouble is keeping enough satellites in view to maintain a 3D lock when I go under over passes (at less than 70 mph) or under dense foliage. It's guaranteed that it will loose the lock withing 20 seconds. XGPS reflects what I'm seeing as well. I've mounted it on the roof, on the dash, all with the same results. It's an SiRFII chip but there's too much stuff in the way.

I have one town that's a gold mine of AP's but until the leaves drop this fall, I'm wasting my time trying to cover the best parts. The streets are like tunnels with huge 100 year old oak trees on both sides reaching all the way across as far as you can see. Beautiful town, just hard to stumble.

See there's something strange with your GPS, I can pull into my garage and maintain lock, I've sat under bridges and maintained lock, and I'm using a cheap puck GPS that I got years ago. I've never had foliage interfere with my lock.

I agree. I have 3 of the EarthMate USB, SiRFII pucks and they're rock solid on everything else. I also have the serial version and a brand new BU-353 SiRFIII and they all have the same problem. I need to experiment some more. The 2.09 GPSD from GPSDrive acts the same.

Maybe the constellation hasn't been optimal lately. I've never had problems with losing my GPs signal (Magellan Meridian Platinum) yet over the past few days I've had a handful of APs that didn't have a GPS location, and Kismet drops GPSD on occasion (never had that problem before, either).

The electro-magnetic field could be unsettled. I haven't read of any major solar flares hitting earth lately, but that's always a possibility. Or else there's a Red Lectroid ship orbiting Earth.

Hmmm, must be my bad. I could have stopped the core again with a wacky project I was working on the last few days... ok maybe not.

That can't be it, cause if the core were to stop, the crust would stop eventually and we'd all be flung off into space since we'd also experience a loss of gravity.

We're smack dab at the bottom of the 11-year sunspot cycle so flares and sunspots are definitely a rarity thesedays.

I wasn't sure where we were in the cycle. I stopped keeping track of it when I stopped shooting the skip.

I did read about a major flare last summer that was supposed to cause some communications disruption over canadia, but I don't think anyone cared.

Why would they?

No offence Render.

Klingons circling Uranus?

Only time I really have trouble is up a local canyon here with peaks up about 7,000 ft elevation, the valley floor is at about 2,500 ft and the width is about 1-2 miles at the widest. Add to that, being under 75 ft tall evergreens.(wrzwaldo will know - Icicle creek!)

However it WILL work most of the time, unless the geometry is really poor with few sats directly overhead. (Say 20deg off of straight up or so.)

Oh heck, I dunno why. Perhaps because it can knock off the whole friggin' electrical grid if it hits just right? I know we watch our long distance lines pretty closely when geo storms are forcast.

Added a bit over 1k today with a quick pass through the north end of Seattle downtown area.

(Netstumbler only - still haven't really taken the time to get Kismet going...
