me: wants to see my headmate's GPS receiver module in action
headmate: doesn't have an antenna for it
headmate: searches on amazon
headmate: ...
headmate: this [left]
GPS receiver, indoors: [right]

what is this sorcery

i can't believe that thing got a cold fix in like, 10 minutes, with a piece of wire torn out of a USB cable for an antenna. what the fuck

as long as i'm holding it (like all angel girls it wants to be held in order to work) [headmate: you're giving it a ground plane] it gets a continuous fix *indoors*, with *brick walls* and *no line of sight* with >4 sats

what
