Re: [WISPA] OT, help with mapping stuff
With Google Earth you can specify the cache size (make it big) and then zoom around the area you want while you're connected and you'll be able to see that area offline. Be careful - if you reconnect and zoom around someplace else you'll flush the good stuff out of the cache.

Re: [WISPA] OT, help with mapping stuff
One option would be to use the product Mapwel to make your own maps which then you could load into the other folk's Garmin GPSes. I don't know if this is more than you need. You'd need the advanced version of Mapwel so you can use the maps with any Garmin GPS. You can make the maps transparent so they'd overlay over the existing base map. The transparent map can be turned on and off. Though you'd be making a map, all it would have to contain is the data you want to overlay over the base map. Mapwel is a very simple program to use and what sets it apart from the others is it does the whole process of getting the map all the way into the GPS without needing other helper apps. You could import the data you have from your GPS, touch it up (add names, change how it will be displayed) and export the map. There's some learning curve but it's not too steep. What do you mean by routes? Is this for people to follow while driving/walking? If it's not too much data I could take a shot at doing what you'd need. I have the advanced version of the app. I use Mapwel to make maps of the area where I live because there are no existing maps. I have no connection, financial or other to this product or company.

Re: [WISPA] Report: Broadband stimulus funds won't suffice
I have to believe we are on the cusp of some real innovation. The answer will not be wireless as we now know it. Instead, it will be some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency band and controlled by software defined radios. With the right algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer. Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low power, and short range. It can be done on a much larger, wider scale. Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of spectrum. The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government will insist on having into the system. http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html Every house or business could have a central device communicating with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to devices in use by individuals, using a lower power UWB. I'm not sure the end device will be a phone/IPhone type device, but instead will be some sort of thin film display you either unfold, or something that is integrated into eye wear. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,667638,00.asp I think we have reached the limits of the technology now commonly available. The smart phone is not the answer. Little tiny screens are usable by young eyes, but not by mature users. A screen that communicates with the device in your pocket will be the norm. I have a friend/customer who just got a new set of hearing aids. It interfaces with his phone via bluetooth. He is able to use a cell phone now, where previous attempts were less than satisfying.

Everything after was built on top of that. But one could also argue that dial-up was the start and this is the additional upgrading. But they are right, fiber is the one true way of bringing everyone up to the same level of access.

[WISPA] Tower Question
http://www.wirelessestimator.com/t_content.cfm?pagename=Basic%20Wind%20Speeds%20Rev.%20G%20with%20ice According to that, I need to have my tower meet 40 mph and 3/4 of ice. http://www.wirelessestimator.com/t_content.cfm?pagename=Basic%20Wind%20Speeds%20Rev.%20G That map says I need 90 mph. Could someone explain the differences? I've seen some towers list round and panel sq. ft. maximums. Can I just figure out the ratio of the maximums to translate panels to round or vice versa to determine my mixed use footprint? - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!

The issue most will have is that different GPS companies can format the data differently for their particular GPS and even the same company can format it differently for various models. The Google mapping file formats seem to have become a defacto standard that most of the software packages support and can import and export. Converting to kmz will also allow the data to be shown easily in Goggle Earth and with a little programming can also be displayed in the Google Maps API on a web site. Nice thing about the Google Maps API is being able to display street maps, aerial images as well as terrain relief. There are plenty of ways to skin this cat and I am sure others with suggest their favorite tools of the trade.

The answer will not be wireless as we now know it. Instead, it will be some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency band and controlled by software defined radios. With the right algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer. Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low power, and short range. It can be done on a much larger, wider scale. Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of spectrum. The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government will insist on having into the system. http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html Every house or business could have a central device communicating with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to devices in use by individuals, using a lower power UWB. I'm not sure the end device will be a phone/IPhone type device, but instead will be some sort of thin film display you either unfold, or something that is integrated into eye wear. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,667638,00.asp I think we have reached the limits of the technology now commonly available. The smart phone is not the answer. Little tiny screens are usable by young eyes, but not by mature users. A screen that communicates with the device in your pocket will be the norm.

The answer will not be wireless as we now know it. Instead, it will be some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency band and controlled by software defined radios. With the right algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer. Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low power, and short range. It can be done on a much larger, wider scale. Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of spectrum. The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government will insist on having into the system. http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html Every house or business could have a central device communicating with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to devices in use by individuals, using a lower power UWB.
