I was reminded today of a program I already have for plotting #GNSS #GPS performance from a serial port on Windows - GNSSToolKit3. It works nicely and has many more views than my screenshot shows. This Is plotting from an indoor GPS puck connected to my #tinyGTC.

ICYMI: this week, the #Copernicus Sentinel-5 instrument aboard EUMETSAT’s Metop-SGA1 released its first images - and this global view of ozone is our image of the week!
The image shows a map of global ozone, and the hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica.
