According to that Garmin GPS, my dad was driving over the mountain pass right before Magic Mountain at a speed of 60 mph and a vertical speed of 6 feet per second (360 feet per minute, the preferred unit of measure for American pilots). This information was obtained using the "Where am I" feature on the GPS, showing the coordinates and the altitude. The good thing about the feature is that the position gets updated every second, allowing me to calculate the vertical speed. The highest point of the mountain pass as indicated by the GPS is 4118 feet (1260 meters).
Since I am bored while traveling south on Interstate 5, I decided to do some usless blogging on this iPod Touch app - without access to the Internets. Yay, my family is now slowing down in traffic. I think it is time for me to listen to some music on this iPod instead.
