Something like this app on a phone would only update via your phone network's cell tower wouldn't it?

[Brock]

I have a portable wifi in my pocket, and Thailnand has towers every where. Im away from my puter, so cant fix up the link til tomorrow.

[Brock]

More work to do in setting this stuff up.

Will try again another day

Looks like I need to update to full version of Bubbler, as way points are few and far between

[Brock]

May be lunch trip today

This was my thought until Gavo went to NR this year, his updated every 20 or so minutes across the paddock.

You may need to change the "update settings" to give more points?

Alan, I believe you are correct,  it will store the gps points in the phone until it locks in with your phone network cell tower.  This then will update all the points since its last connection with a cell tower.  Bubbler needs a wifi/wireless and/or a cell connection (depending on how you set the settings),  to transmitt its points.

Obvious choice for service provider is Telstra due to monopoly of cell towers around Oz.  I can remember being somewhere out your way Alan trying to make a call on my mobile phone (Optus), coun not get a connection.  A guy standing a few meters away was chatting away on his cell.  He was with Telstra so changed my service provider once I got back from my ride.  If you are riding in high population areas then it may not matter who you are with.

Yorkie, I am not sure what the distance separation is for the towers across the paddock but I know on some of my trips I actually lost cell reception for some periods of time.  Bubbler just "caught up " with the gps points and updated Spotwalla as if it was constantly updating?

Bubbler Pro is a good bit of kit for my Android phone

I just had a look at the Optus mobile coverage maps and from home to Ceduna is fairly well covered and then nothing until Norseman.

I can remember being somewhere out your way Alan trying to make a call on my mobile phone (Optus), could not get a connection.

More likely between here and Broken Hill......

Looking at Brock's Thailand track, it's amazing how much of the country is covered by Google Streetview!
There are lots of countries with no coverage whatsoever (apart from North Korea    )

I thought bubbler would only update when in cell however I checked Gavo's by logging in 25 mins after the last update and it had moved, in the paddock Telstra have a tower at each servo only, reception is limited to around 15k either side depending on terrain.
