  1. I'm not getting it: why would the GPS know about things like cloud, visibility, swell direction, etc
    ???

  2. Hi Ulli,

    Good question. The only thing the GPS generated was lat, long, and time. I made up the rest, as I will do every 24 hours during the voyage. But our followers can see this info on YOTREPS. ~Chris
