Field Test: Scout on a Plane

Took Scout along on a trip from Cleveland to Phoenix last fall to visit a little hot springs place with rescued cats.

Tested it on the flight to see what it’d do. Wasn’t designed with airline speeds in mind, so it kept crashing.

But it kept restarting gracefully. Same screen, last-known position, pretty much ready to go. One of the design goals on Scout is always to have helpful information. So mission accomplished 😉

A few firmware tweaks since to handle plane rides without panicking.

More from this trip coming. Desert maps, field-test scenes, whatever turns up in the camera roll.
