Re: Pendant Tracking System

Thanks for the pics. I wonder what the icons at the top of the page do?

Hmmm I wonder if Ben's pendant being active and the only one listed as model C mean anything. I also wonder if the creator even put that much thought into it or he just made up something completely random.

And based upon your reasoning the other five pendants are either off the map (another country), in an area where it cannot give off a signal or destroyed.

Hmmm with this computer mapping, makes you wonder why randall didn't get them all back since then.

I highly doubt they do anything, a pseudo GUI for tee vee
basically a prop like anything else in sci fi imagery.

Some outputs on programs are taken from hacked together snippets from actual computer programs like in the Matrix for example they used Nmap in a scene with Trinity.

Earlier in Revolution they used a Korn shell on the old MicroATX computer when Grace first showed us the amulet's powering features so she could go online, and later on when she announced "Randall's here." onscreen a few episodes back.

You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

A tracking system that covers a continent suggests that it uses a functioning satellite. Maybe the U.S. military made a shielded satellite, or satellites lie outside of the suppression field.

Would GPS function if the receiver on the ground functions?

After 15 years without any replacements being launched, would GPS satellites still be operational?

Yes. Our current GPS constellation is years, if not decades old. The satellites would still work, not all of them though. However they would not be accurate, they need to be maintained on a constant basis.
