Finally broke down and bought a smartphone.
So I am logged on to amtrak connect WiFi on the NER, and it looks like the train tracker is giving me a pretty accurate real time location, but the speed seems to lagaybe 10-20 seconds. (We'going about 115 mph right now.)
I used a navigation app yesterday on the MARC train with a 4G connection, and it seemed like the speed readout was more responsive.
If I use the gps navigation app on the WiFi connection would I get an accurate location or speed? Or would I get the location of the nearest cellphone tower? How exactly are the nab apps and the WiFi getting their location /speed?
