Annoying bad traces

Posted by Andrew Gee on 28 November 2008 in English.

Does anyone else find it annoying when you go out on a trace. You come back, only to find that it was awful, and kept losing connection, with bad accuracy:

I'm going to try and fill in what I can from the good parts, and memory, but I will have to do this again on Monday. But for now, back to school work!

Yep, it can be really annoying.
It's taken me about 2 years of mapping, but I now have the habit of checking signal strength regularly. This is more frequent when it looks like it will be bad, and then I can stand still/walk slower, or just accept that it's bad for geographic reasons and I won't get better(that avoids me going out again and getting similarily bad traces).
