<P><BR>GPS's can log points a time intervals/ distance intervals, or automatically compress, so that if you dont move it will make none. If it was to be left to leave 1 point every second, then it would do just that.</P>
<P>But yeah...I asume noone would really want to just mount up there amount of points/dots. but, if someone goes on a 5 days expadision, then they will have gained a lot more than someone who sits in a traffic jam for 2 hours, but there gps will only have the same capacirty, so the consentration will be less per mile. This can only really be reflected if the amount of nodes created is counted, instead of the breadcrumbs uploaded.<BR><BR>Ben </P></DIV>
