Visit to St Fagans

Went to St Fagans Museum of Welsh Life yesterday (St Valantines Day) to scope out the areas I want to focus on for the elactronic guide and map it out with GPS.

Map from outside the main entrance showing what their is to see in its immediate area

Overview of map showing highlighted area around the main entrance

Seeing as when you enter the outdoor museum you see the above map showing whats to see around the main entrance it seemed to make sense to limit the prototype to this area and these buildings.

Using GPS software whilst walking around the sight I discovered that depending where I was I could pick up between 5 and 9 satelites which is enough to give a good fix as you only need 3 to triangulate your position.
