Hi Dave, Some people have found more luck getting a GPS signal in the carriage ends (I believe they're called the vestibules?) - however it's a pretty uncomfortable journey stood their the entire time.
Otherwise, it simply depends on the type of train (some are more shielded than others), and, I guess, the type of GPS device (ones with bigger aerials might cope better). Also, I think it helps if you get a GPS fix before getting on the train - they seem to have more difficulty getting a fix when moving at high speed (or at least mine does). Where are you mapping? Most of the UK train lines should already be fairly well mapped. Frankie 2009/9/25 d f <fac63te...@yahoo.com> > Hi > > I've seen a few railway ways where it says the source is GPS.
