I repurposed an old controller wired to his helmet to record positions while Sam biked the trails of Cape Cod. Back then GPS had “selective availability” meaning the accuracy was randomly varied. As Sam always said, keep trying, and we did to improve the accuracy of his trail maps to overcome those early problems. But the best part of the story was Sam’s invitation to his home for a night of lobster and disco music complete with a mirror ball as a thank you for all our work. As I always say, my years working at TapTone in the ‘90s has always been my favorite time as an engineer. We will miss you Sam.
