I am a huge fan of my Delorme Tripmate. It’s a cheap serial GPS receiver that it is very easy to work with and interface with my microcontroller projects. It was introduced over 10 years ago and mine is still in great condition. I’ve used it for a number of projects (e.g., PIC16F88 Delorme Tripmate GPS Logger, GPS Logger with Time and Speed, and a modified version for GPRMC) and I plan on creating more. However, it’s starting to show its age and I have found that over time I’ve become less and less fond of its chipset. The biggest problem has been the gross inaccuracies in reported position.

Japan Day 8, Leaving Japan, Shinkansen
This post is the ninth in a series of nine illustrating my trip to Japan and illustrates my eighth and final day in Japan (March 28th). I packed up my bags, headed out to Kyoto station and took the Shinkansen back to Tokyo station, where I caught the Narita Express to Narita International Airport.

Matt and I wanted to go to the Tsukiji fish market Monday morning before he left for the US. The Tsukiji fish market is the world’s largest wholesale fish market and has world-famous tuna fish auctions almost every day. We left our hotel at 4:30 AM and got there just in time to see the tuna fish auction.
