Well, now we know what you will be spending the next week on... What are 
you waiting for.. Get to it.. :D

Seriously, you've done good work so far, keep it up. I just showed the 
Osmarender to a USN friend of mine, who just came home from a tour over 
there, doing ECM work against IED (the roadside bombs). When I told him 
that he actually could take that data and make a map for his personal 
Garmin GPS, he said "I wish I had something like that with me, when I left."
(No comments on what was available in the Humvee's he drove around in, 
when doing his assigned duty.)
