[pct-l] Iphone GPS Question

[Tom Holz]

I have all the quads for the pct loaded and there is no noticeable  
slowdown.  It was somewhat tedious because you have to select and  
download quads somewhat manually, but I posted a list of quads that  
gives you basic pct coverage to this list (should be archived now).

I was reading through the website and it looks like there was a  
startup slowdown / bug fixed in a recent version.

Off to wrightwood.  Thanks for the detour maps, Halfmile.
