       | There are many urban and forest locations I go to where GPS
       | signals are poor and tracks are often offset half a block or
       | more. Nice to see the L5 train pull out of the station.

         | And on that subject, worth noting the date of the blog is
         | January 2021.

         | The train has well and truly left the station. Apple, for
         | example, now have L5 (starting from iPhone 14 2022).

           | noticeable difference in comparison to my old AW 6 (and my
           | non-L5 Garmin 945LTE). Running single track out in the woods
           | of Anacortes, WA, the Ultra consistently marked my position
           | within feet. In comparison, on the same trails the Garmin
           | would regularly think I'm on a trail parallel to the one I
           | was actually on.

         | still new). Do it!
