Why?

During a short internship with the Fritz Institute, hosted at Oxfam GB headquarters, my boss showed me how interesting it is to see your tracks on a map after some mountainbiking, exploring, etc. I thought of all the times I had looked at a map upon arriving back at my accommodation and traced my path with a pen, and yet I could have simply used GPS to know where I had been!

When I think something is really interesting, I find it best to engage that idea in a relatively intense manner. So, rather than recording the occasional trip with my new GPS receiver, why not record every single move I make? Of course, when I went to sleep, I had to turn it off as I wasn't moving anywhere. Unfortunately, sometimes the receiver had no signal, when I was in most buildings, in subways, or under dense tree cover. Dotted lines mean I was underground and manually drew the lines onto the maps.
