If so, I think 5 seconds is a bit too frequent. 30 seconds is probably more appropriate. At 5 seconds it will draw a very pretty circle on everyones map when going through a cloverleaf interchange or roundabout (something we see all too frequent from poorly configured trackers with corner pegging), but it's not very useful and uses too much network bandwidth. With 30 seconds they'll see you took the
exit, and by the time the next beacon goes out you will have cleared the cloverleaf.<br><div id="yiv2086996398"><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br>-Jerome, W0JRT<br></div></div></td></tr></table><br>
