I've been playing with GPS Tracking by downloading Sports Tracker to my phone. Initially this was to see hard data on the progress I've been making, but then I started to play with it...
At first just zig zagging across the field to see how sensitive it was to smaller movements, which came up with this:-
I like the effect of leaving an ethereal trace of where I have been on the landscape, more than just footprints, but an essence of myself.
I then took some string up the local playground and gained some very bizarre looks from teenagers as I wrote on the football pitch, and then walked it. I also tried to map my friends living willow labyrinth, but that just ended up looking as though a toddler had been scribbling on the trees. I'm a bit clearer on how precise the GPS tracker can be.
At this point my own kids pretended not to know me...
