I see a number of plot files in Plot Place with a recorded date of 30 Dec 1899. That has to be the earliest use of a GPS ever. I think this technology must have been kept secret for some time.

Hi mad dog
I have have been the one up loading a lot of the Plot place files with the bad date as David says these are from my GPS which does not save dates or time, when I open these file in Ozie they have the opening time and date eg. todays
And I can assure you that they are all real time recorded trips.
We have just returned from a 3 week 11,000 km trip over to the east and had to e-mail my file to David which was save from my Garmin etrex to Ozie CE on a HP iPAQ 2210 the file is over 2.51 MB and will not upload so I have only up loaded the Garmin file at the moment
Regards
Richard Kovac

Thanks Richard that clears up my confusion when I was looking at one of your plots today. At first it seemed to be a manually created plot but then I noticed it contained altitude information. All clear now.

Richard, you have just returned from a trip over to the East. Maybe you were spotted in Hoddle St Melb by one of our members.
