The promoting information is setup to journey expotentially just like a virus. 1 human being tells five who inform a different five who notify a different five and so forth. The 1st profitable virus advertising campaign is typically quoted as hotmail – who place a website link for totally free e mail in the bottom of every electronic mail. This was when electronic mail was challenging to receive. These days emails can vacation all over the planet in minutes as some hapless men and women have found!. Currently yourtube and myspace function about the viral principle.

I would like to humbly claim that my own attempt was the first to use a cellphone as pen, and a city as paper. I did not draw anything, but used my walking path as a way to write and send a message in English. A bit like Morse Code. I wrote the code in Python for Nokia N70.

This is from one year ago in Bombay, India…

It could be used to analyse whether the package had lingered in any customs sheds or been passed through unopened.

HOWEVER, DHL could have easily specially set up a GPS repeater within the cargo bay, to relay the data from the external GPS antenna. It WOULD then work (with an error equivalent to the position of his GPS receiver relative to the position of the aircraft’s GPS antenna).
My hunch is that this guy works for DHL, hence was able to get the idea for this and implement it (if it is true of course).

Also lets see what his drawing looks like in other projections. My personal feeling on this is that he used his brief case to draw this walking around a field or park, then projected it on this map; but if it is real, lets see the math on the projection conversion.

What an asinine question.

I’m sure DHL scheduled the use of their jets for the sole purpose of lugging this briefcase all over the world, instead of using existing routes.

C’mon!

They’re not even close to each other…
Adobe Illustrator maybe?
