  1. Weekend Reading on TechAptitude! One of our most popular articles ever >> Satellite Collision Avoidance!

    Get details about how today's Satellite Collision Avoidance Systems and the three-stage process of screening, probabilistic risk assessment and autonomous maneuver planning or “mitigation”. techaptitude.substack.com/p/sa #Space #Satellites #CollisionAvoidance #Conjunction #TechAptitude #AI #ML #Automation #GPS #NASA #SpaceCraft #SSA

  2. My girlfriend owns a Garmin Etrex 35 device.
    I try to upgrade the maps on it via Garmin Express (TOPO, 10GB), which reports there is not enough space on the device, but there is 20GB free on the SD card. Is there a way to tell the Etrex about that card?

    Boost appreciated, as always.

  3. Je découvre les applications et le gps depuis que j’ai un téléphone moderne. J’aime bien Statshunters qui rehroupe tous les trajets sous Strava.

    Mes trajets de mai depuis que j’ai un #gps.

    @emeline, je te confirme que je suis super content du GPS 🙂

  4. Another thing that really surprises me is that the #GPS stuff is driverless on #PocketPC.

    I don't really understand why. Cameras, LAN adapters, non BT Keyboards, etc. all require drivers, but not the GPS stuff.

    GPS uses the #NMEA standard but i find it hard to believe that support for this was baked into #WinCE.

    Whatever the reason its quite convenient!

  5. Recently I have been toying around with a lot of the old #PocketPC #GPS stuff.

    There are a variety of different ways to connect to a GPS. Some connect via the Compact Flash slot, some are SDIO, some Bluetooth and others through a physical serial cable.

    You also have to decide on what GPS software that you want to use and then find compatible maps.

    I'm still figuring things out and it is quite finicky but when it works it is surprisingly decent!

  6. Zwölf Monate mit dem Coros DURA und der PACE Pro: Grevet, Bikepacking, Berliner Alltag, Regen, Schotter, lange Tage.

    Der DURA ist kein Gerät für Menschen, die unterwegs ständig Karten analysieren wollen. Er ist ein extrem ausdauernder Track-Player für alle, die vorher planen — und dann einfach fahren.

    Akku schlägt Features. Zumindest auf der Langstrecke.

    Zum Langzeittest:

    Voilà une bonne nouvelle !
    L'excellente application de GPS CoMaps (que j'utilise désormais en remplacement de MagicEarth et OsmAnd) va dé-corréler la mise à jour de l'application et des cartes. Vous pourrez désormais mettre à jour les cartes sans mettre à jour l'application.
    Et ils ont l'intention de publier des mises à jour des cartes toutes les semaines !

  8. Slightly unsure of how to get home after going out on Friday night with friends and a couple of beers?

    Have no fear! #gnome #maps to the rescue, to help you find your way home!

    (And the dot on the map moved accurately the whole way)

  9. While doing some work on my new motorcycle i found this…
    An active gps tracker with a sim card on a magnet under the cargo bed.

    Smashed it to bits of-course, but what the fuck!?

  10. The Huxe podcast generating app is nice, during my commute, asking a question and listening to a podcast about it. In this case about the question how Ukrainian drones find their targets without GPS.

  11. "There’s More To Global Positioning Than Just GPS" by @hackaday - US GPS🛰️ started it but isn't the only public global navigation system now. Initially planned for military use, GPS was first to open to public use (after KAL Flight 007✈️ was shot down in 1983) and then others followed. Sophisticated multi-network receivers now improve #Positioning #Navigation #Timing #PNT resolution by combining data from all satellites in view. hackaday.com/2026/05/07/theres #GNSS #GPS #Galileo #Glonass #Beidou #space

  13. #WhiteHouse App Is a Terrifying #Security Mess

    From a hidden #GPS tracker polling your location every 4.5 minutes to JavaScript loaded from a random GitHub account, no SSL certificate pinning, and an in-app browser that silently strips cookie consent dialogs and paywalls from every page you visit, the new White House app seems to have a little bit of everything. A security researcher pulled the #APK apart to discover the #cybersecurity #vulnerabilities. "

  15. Put my #ESPHome #GPS tracker to the test over a 30 km trip today! 🚴‍♂️

    The logic works great, but I was mostly curious about the 1850 mAh battery life. The Lolin32 Lite + NEO-6M + small OLED combo managed to stay powered for a whole day (with smart reporting intervals when stationary).

    Honestly impressed by how well this cheap NEO-6M performs.

    Check out the route here:

  16. Dziś na 30 km dystansie przetestowałem #GPS tracker oparty na #ESPHome o którym pisałem ostatnio.

    Logika wysyłania koordynat sprawuje się dobrze, ale celem testu było głównie sprawdzenie czasu działania baterii 1850 mAh. Okazało się, że Lolin32 Lite z modułem NEO-6M i malutkim OLEDem wytrzymał dobę (oczywiście w spoczynku raportuje znacznie rzadziej)

    Jestem pozytywnie zaskoczony tym tanim NEO-6M

  17. Why Your Hotel Room Keycard Stores Far More Personal Data Than the Hotel Will Ever Admit

    Pourquoi la carte d'accès à votre chambre d'hôtel stocke bien plus de données personnelles que l'hôtel ne le reconnaîtra jamais.

    Vous passez votre carte à l'entrée, la jetez sur la table de chevet et n'y pensez plus. Ce mince rectangle de plastique posé à côté de votre lit d'hôtel contient plus d'informations personnelles que vous ne les confieriez volontiers à un inconnu dans la rue – et l'hôtel qui l'a émise n'a aucune obligation légale de vous en révéler le contenu. 😬

  18. Hello #bike and #DIY #electronics fans! 🚲

    While others are grilling, I’m out testing my first custom GPS #tracker.

    Built on #ESPHome, it syncs to #InfluxDB and #GeoPulse. To save battery and storage, it sends updates dynamically based on heading changes, distance, or time intervals.

    Just finished a 1-hour logic test — works like a charm! Next up: battery endurance test.
