I just want to find when thesun norths so I can find my meridian. Since I am not a superman (yet!), I would not be able to process any higher accuracy, would I? :-) I am interested in the GPS pages, but don't worry. I am sure I can find them using Altavista, NortherLight or any other Internet portal. By the way haven't you ever travelled in Brazil? Travelling in the woods, deserts, rain forests, swamps is the kind of think I would like to have done when I was younger. Since I never did it when I was in better shape, I think I'll have to do it sometime now or in the future. I am quite interested in hearing about your trips, excursions, expeditions... - fernando -- Fernando Cabral Padrao iX Sistemas Abertos mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pix.com.br mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fone: +55 61 321-2433 Fax: +55 61 225-3082 15º 45' 04.9" S 47º 49' 58.6" W 19º 37' 57.0" S 45º 17' 13.6" W
