Can I point out that RadarBox Software seems to be running on a MacBookPro in this feature! Is this under bootcamp?

I make no idea but there are several users reporting that they successfully run the product on a Mac. I'm sure they will reply to this thread tomorrow.

I think that the magazine graphics department have just done a cut and paste to show the RadarBox screen on "a laptop" for their article.

First time I've seen the inside of a RadarBox though :-)

One more review with a big RadarBox picture on the frontpage of the magazine.
This time on Australian Magazine Silicon Chip.

Any comment on the suggestion in the review that a trip could be tracked continuously via the network all the way from Wick to Sydney?  I would have thought that there would be a few gaps at least.

It could be tracked if there was RB coverage - need to get a few more outstations on the route :-)

Yes, that's what I meant - the suggestion in the review that "You can 'track' great-aunt Mabel all the way [from Wick to Sydney], knowing precisely where she is at any time" doesn't quite square up with what we see on the network coverage map - so far at least.

Still, we know what these advertising chaps are like :-)
