The traveling Mars Rover 2 stopped here to collect data on GPS units.
Place your GPS unit on the same spot as in the pictures and record your coordinates. Then: log this page with the cordinates you got, make and model of your GPS unit, and software used if your GPS unit works with a Palm or other handheld. I will then compile the information into a usable format to share with everyone. This location is under tree cover so it will be interesting to see how the data varies with the seasons.
