agree on the quality above quantity but how about those areas where coverage is
nill to very poor ? In those cases quantity does help but in moderation. I just
did a quick trip from SC to FL and back this past weekend and it came up. Many
areas have poor to no coverage along I-95 and some areas you just hear an
occasional packet. In those instances where there is a slight opportunity to get
a position a higher rate will have a higher chance of getting digi'ed or heard
by an I-Gate.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

know it could be a nightmare out in the general public but in those areas while
you are driving sending a packet out every 30-45 seconds may actually work.
Possibly once the "My Position" ack is received the high rate of speed would be
deactivated to avoid potential abuse.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The thing to remember is that we want quality of positions above
quantity. Turn triggered beacons provide excellent info. But we do
not need to neatly trace the exact contours of the interstate or that winding
two lane road from the suburbs into the city. But it is nice to know
which street I turned down in a residential neighborhood when there are
streets every 200 feet.</DIV>
