pleasantly surprised at User points in Melbourne Australia



During my one day in Melbourne Australia, I have been actively testing the iPhone GPS and using the BrailleNote and Sense Nav GPS around town. I did lots of virtual exploring first on my PC’s Sendero Maps because all the hotels in Melbourne were booked up with a 70,000 strong Jehovah’s Witness convention. It literally took me 2 weeks and every travel trick to finally find a place when I was just headed for the airport and a flight to Melbourne.

I haven’t been to Melbourne in 10 years or more so my user POIs are few. I found lots of others and wondered who they were made by. As you may know, the initials and date of the point can be found under details. I found a CG, not Chris Grabowski, and a KS as well as others. Thanks for doing this. It was very helpful to me and it made me feel like I had company.

I experienced a GPS accuracy of 13 satellites, 2 metres, a rather rare occurrence.

Now off to Sydney to see what we have there.
