Discreetly testing GridHopperTac. Good GPS reception through the tiny ‘hublot’. Some patchy coverage but easily followed the route on vector map. All offline/autonomous. Surprising performance from the Watch5 Pro.

Arrived. Although, nearly 1hr to get out of Munich due to traffic. Afterwards zipped along the autobahn at the legal speed limit, which often is no speed limit …just common road safety sense 🇩🇪 #GoProChestRig #hamradio2026 #friedrichshafen #qo100 #hamradio #amsat #GridHopperTac
