There was a very cool presentation by Chris Terkelsen today in Västerås on GPS/GPRS-based tracking; technologically, a
different approach from the one that failed in Finland. The system appears to work. I wouldn't bet the farm on TV companies buying up rights to broadcast WOCs just because there are cool blips on the screen, though. The tracking really adds insight to those of us who are already fanatics of the sport... to the average Joe, it is just more funny lines. A good TV production goes much farther in revealing what our sport is about—drama, personalities, man against nature and the course setter's tricks.
