Hmm...not sure what entrance would be best as I haven't been to Eglinton Square in ages & don't know much about it. How about the outside entrance to the Bay? Unfortunately the website doesn't have a map of the stores so I can't check to see if the Bay has more than one outside entrance Razz. Keep your cell phones on, people Smile! (Note to self: remember to put Star Spider & Hojo's cell #s in your phone before taking off tomorrow.)

By the way, I did a drive-around of the area tonight like I said I would. No signal strength problems whatsoever. I've written out detailed driving instructions to myself that seemed to work well, so I'd love it if someone could be my designated person to feed me the next line of directions (thankfully since I did my drive-around at night I didn't run into much traffic). At this time of night, with me driving at a speed that lets me read street signs in the dark, it looks like it takes about 2 hours to do the labyrinth. I don't know what traffic will be like during our labyrinth tomorrow...the route is mainly residential streets, but there are parts involving main streets or crossing main streets without a traffic light. Anyway, come ready to put in at least a couple hours on this labyrinth thing (hopefully it will be quicker now that I'm more familiar with the area, but again, traffic will be busier tomorrow than it was tonight)...coming well-fed and/or with snacks could be good (and empty bladders Wink), and hopefully we will have time to grab a late lunch together before thebruce and Melody have to take off.

Trackstick data files created (both KMZ and GPX formats). Data looks really good. (I did have a moment of panic when it looked like it stopped collecting data while the walkers were doing their stroll through the park in the NE section of the map, but it was only showing like that because the walkers' long pause at one point made the software think a new "route" was to be started, heh...combining 2 routes gave us the data for the whole labby Smile.) Can anyone recommend a good file-sharing site where I can make them publicly available? I'm kinda clueless in that area Razz.

My only concern is that Eli did comment on how the outside loop wasn't straight (see one of my earlier posts in this thread) and implied that the omphstrength would be lower than the usual calculation would give if we couldn't straighten it out. We'll have to see what the omphaputer has to say.

Has the lab's completion been reported yet?

No, the OMPHSTRENGTH command still only reports 6 knots.

I updated the strength calculation to match the final numbers I sent Eli...I assume that's what we'll see reflected in the omphaputer.
