When I began using my GEEZ last year, I could never get the maps to
look much like the course even after adjusting the end speeds, but 
I think that was mostly because my calibration was so far off.  When 
I saw the traces last night, my first reaction "not again!", so I just 
shut the program down and left it.  I'll try adjusting the end speed 
again tonight and see if that's enough to get it close.

Hmmmmm, I'm using a Palm Pilot - I wonder if that's why I've had so
many calibration problems?  The new software does seem to help, though.

...and here I thought that this was a good calibration string since I 
didn't have any four digit numbers any more!
