\nGood Satellite Tracking<\/span>\nwith three different units, as I rode<\/span> along the south edge of this road\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

Over the years I've reported on informal tests with satellite-tracking location-logger units (“<\/span>GPS trackers”<\/span>),\nsuch as\n\n“<\/span>More GPS Cycling Tests<\/a>”<\/span>\nfrom three years ago, and from six years ago,\n“<\/span>Another Informal Location-Logger Test<\/a>”<\/span>\n(itself a followup<\/span> to “<\/span>iPhone 4s GPS is Shockingly Good<\/a>”<\/span>).<\/p>\n\n

I've recorded every one of\nthe 23,827 kilometers I've ridden since getting into “<\/span>real”<\/span> cycling a few<\/span> years ago, and I love<\/span> every bit of it.
