Why GPS matters: 1999 evidence vs. 2015 evidence

Here's what looks like a map from the original trial that someone has added shapes and labels to:

Based on the shapes and labels, the road test through this area shows behavior for the L655 tower that does not match the normal spec of:

• A facing 30 degrees

• B facing 150 degrees

• C facing 270 degrees

Some have taken this map and incorrectly concluded, L655 can't be a normal tower. The expert witness trial testimony must be inaccurate and all is lost.

Fortunately, in 2015, GPS affords the opportunity to double check this map and verify it's findings. By overlaying the original map on top of Google Maps, we find that the label for the L655 tower was incorrect. When the correct location is used, the tower behaves normally.

The dotted lines represent the areas where A, B and C hand off to each other. The C (854) to A (911) hand off happens within the expected area, the A (911) to B (926) hand off also happens within the expected area.

Moral of the story: Just double check the data before drawing conclusions. It's a simple process that saves a lot of arguments.
