[Openstreetmap] Reasonable success with a Garmin etrex in bus and car

[frank]

where did you place the gps in the bus?
i had "not so good" results in the side window of a bus

in my car i usualy have it behind the windshild with rather good results
(also on some intown roads wher the bus recording failed)

did anyone try recording tracks in a tramway?
i tried it last year but got realy bad results.
