Spent this weekend implementing a simple addition to Charon: It now shows the travel speed while GPS is active.
Initially I calculated it myself based on GPS position, but then I realized I could just use the GPS NMEA sequence that reports the travel speed directly (and much more accurately). Luckily this means there's now also a fallback when not using GPS NMEA mode.

Open Source Map/Navigation apps, have some of the best features of Wayze/Google-Maps, but without the privacy issues
- Voice directions work fine without sending your data anywhere
- You can save your trips right on your phone
- Offline maps keep working when you lose cell signal
- Topographic maps show terrain without an internet connectionReal-time traffic data & rerouting is still pretty exclusive to the "big-boys" though

Est-ce que quelqu'un connait #navigatrix, une distri #linux dédiée à la #navigation mais qui n'est plus maintenue depuis 2021. Je me demandais si on a la liste des logiciels qu'il faudrait ajouter à une #Debian ou assimilée pour avoir les mêmes fonctionnalités.

#GPS and #Maps #Navigation tool
When switching out from Google products, I found #MagicEarth and decided to try it out. The subscription was €0.99/year.
Either I didn't get it was for the first year only or they changed something, but the price has now increased to €14.99/year.
Overall, I had a good experience, even if the "search for a shop and check opening hours" habit never worked. But I wonder if it's worth the price, if there are better options, if you have advices?
Thoughts?

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧠🐝 A University of #Colorado #Boulder team studied how #turbulence transforms odor signals as they travel.
Using #wind tunnels, #lasers, and real-world plume measurements, they identified three ways airflow filters, spreads, and generates odor frequencies. They argue these systematic changes encode distance and direction information #animals use for olfactory #navigation.

Wenn GPS versagt: China entwickelt Sternnavigation für Hyperschallraketen
Chinas Hyperschallraketen können bald ohne Satellit navigieren. Forscher aus Guangdong haben ein System entwickelt, das selbst bei Mach 5 autonom funktioniert.

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease. That was the surprising result of a 2024 study examining the death certificates of nearly 9 million people in the U.S…
Of the 9 million death certificates from January 2020 to December 2022 that researchers examined, taxi and ambulance drivers had the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease out of 443 occupations. After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall.
This pattern did not extend to other driving jobs. The researchers concluded that the key to reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s was not driving itself but continuous real-time navigation: the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change. Drivers whose jobs relied on fixed or predetermined routes, like bus drivers and aircraft pilots, didn’t seem to experience a similar advantage.
Researchers believe the association between navigation-heavy work and lower Alzheimer’s risk centers on the hippocampus, a part of the brain that governs memory and spatial navigation. It’s one of the first brain regions that Alzheimer’s damages: Problems with spatial navigation and orientation are among the earliest signs of the disease, sometimes surfacing before obvious memory loss.
In one landmark 2000 study [link above], neuroscientists compared the brains of licensed London taxi drivers with those of people who did not drive cabs. Their findings provided the first evidence via structural imaging that regions of the adult brain can measurably change under sustained navigational demand. To earn a license, London cabbies must memorize more than 25,000 streets within a 6-mile radius of Charing Cross, a challenge known as “The Knowledge” that takes three to four years…”

🚀👾 Behold, a mind-numbing attempt to compress the universe of #PyTorch into a single page of #dense gibberish. With more #metaphors than meaningful #content, you're left wondering if this article is a #tutorial or a cryptic treasure map. Good luck picking a door, because you'll need more than breadcrumbs to navigate this maze. 😂🔍

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Stress can scramble your brain’s internal GPS, MRI study finds
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260807035151.htm
Stress may literally scramble the brain’s internal GPS. Researchers found that cortisol, a hormone released during stress, made people significantly worse at navigating a virtual environment and disrupted the precise activity of grid cells, specialized brain cells that help us understand where we are in space. When landmarks were missing, this navigation system nearly stopped functioning, while another brain region appeared to step in and compensate.

Ich habe soeben die aktuelle Version der Openfietsmap vom 01. August in BaseCamp und auf meinem Garmin Oregon 650 installiert. 🗺️ 🚲 😀
Nicht, dass ich die neueste Version unbedingt brauchen würde, aber man weiß ja nie, wohin mich mein Fahrrad 🚲 oder auch mein 🛴 Tretroller führen werden. 😉
