Hi all. On another note, did I miss it, or was there no mention of the 
GPS capabilities that Janina outlined in the original message? Is this 
mentioned somewhere else other than the previous two podcasts, or does 
anyone know how its all going to work; receiver type, accuracy of 
realtime data, etc? Thanks.
