After re-reading that a few times, and looking at the maps, I see now what you're talking about.. basicly when making maps with kismet, it takes all the data points, averages out the range, and draws a circle. this leads to data points outside of that circle existing (ie, it doesn't just plot the edges of the range at the outermost datapoints), in moos-survey4 it's putting points at the outermost datapoints (hull map) which gives you a better idea of what the actual range is (based on what the datapoints actually were, not guestimating) You can see in moos-survey6-6 that the datapoints on highway 5 were very few, unfortunately this is because I drove a little bit before I noticed the laptop had locked up (again) from overheating (check out the gap between those datapoints and Hwy 149 south of the river on moos-survey2, you can see the long-ish break in the driving track =/) I would like to do another survey soon, but before we do it i'd like to run through a quick check on everyones system and help out anyone that needs help. perhaps this is where my mini distro can come in handy.. I'd also like to go out further, to the higher points on the map (moos-topo.png) > -- > andyw at pobox.com > > Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634 -- Matthew S.
