Ah yes, because what we truly need in 2023 is a guide to turn our beloved e-readers into high-contrast 🧭 devices. Why use an actual GPS when you can awkwardly fumble with your Kindle’s browser and a cascade of apps on your phone? 🙄📚 It's like trying to navigate using a magnifying glass and a sundial.

**Android-Mock-Location**

GitHub - warren-bank/Android-Mock-Location: Android app that mocks the GPS and Network location providers.

#android #fake #mock #location #gps #navigation

**Design Goals**

Combine the best features from all:

**FakeTraveler**:

- methodology for mocking location (GPS and Network)

**FakeGPS**:

- overall architecture;
- "joystick" and "fly to"

**OsmAnd**:

- geo intent filters

**other considerations**:

- though the embedded map in FakeTraveler is elegant;
- the geo intent filters make this unnecessary;
- external mapping software can provide better features;
- Google Maps can work offline;
- OsmAnd can work offline;
- OsmAnd can broadcast geo intents;

Model workshop today, working on housing for my b&g vulcan 7" plotter that I bought used last year. I place it on the roof top for best visibility, and the housing will protect it from saltwater spray ect, and all cabeling will be hidden and protected as well.

Next step is building the actial housing, and install the kit.

I am testing alternatives to Google Maps (or Apple Maps) at the moment.

To be honest, the usability of the open source software available is rather horrible, so I heard from an old friend: Here WeGo. Old friend, because it was #nokia here long ago.

I downloaded the app for my #iphone and registered on the webpage for my browser.

The usability is very good! One time, the app hang up on me but overall this could become my daily driver

Seagull’s Perch on Wallis Buoy

Ah, the majestic Wallis buoy. It’s a beacon of maritime sophistication and seagull real estate. On my way to Sherkin Island, I came upon this floating masterpiece, complete with a solar panel that probably powers the seagull’s Netflix subscription. The bird, perched confidently atop its throne, seemed to be enforcing the 6 km speed limit with all the authority of a traffic warden who’s had one too many cups of tea.

Data from over 150 elephants demonstrated that these giants plan their journeys based on energy costs and resource availability. The findings – published today (26 March) in the Journal of Animal Ecology– could provide crucial information to help protect these iconic animals and their habitats.
