OK WISPs, you now have tools to do the geocoding yourself and I can get your Form477 formatted files or Cameron has/will have a tool you can do it all yourself. What is the next excuse for not submitting your Form477 by March 1. Let's show the FCC WISPs are a large part of the solution. By the way, all I had was latitude/longitude and speed data Friday morning. By late afternoon not only had I submitted the form, but had the tool to use for anyone that needs help. Don't give "It's too hard" as the reason.
