For nuvi owners (and maybe some others) - check out that tower you just drove by.

I'm just a tad confused.. are those towers that you put into your GPS?

My guess is that he plotted tower locations into a GPS compatible file.
Sort of like "Points of Interest" where you find restaurants, but this one also shows tower locations.

I dont have a Nuvi but I know this probably took some work.
Good job, great idea.

They're every license from the national TAFL files. The screen gets kind of hairy when you drive past the CN Tower though - there are nearly 300 licenses at its coordinates. Thankfully, the rest of the 300,000 POIs tend to be spread out a bit more.

The 'Ryerson University' post is actually the Ram in the Rye's (campus pub) security channel. Ryerson itself now operates on a 3 (maybe 4) channel uhf LTR trunk.
