Generally expo centres and show grounds have very high 4g capacity available. I was at the Melbourne expo centre for work last year and even though they had multiple events on I still had the best 4g speed I have had anyware.

Wish they could do the same at the MCG.....3/4G coverage is rubbish there when there is a game on.

AB, you should investigate whether exhibitors have access to a WiFi network at the show. I would be very surprised if there wasn't one available.

When I go to sound wave at the Melbourne show grounds there is no chance of getting on mobile data.

Not sure if anyone would even know the answer but anyways...

At the expo coming up I would like to run a big laptop running the you4wd map to show people at the show how it all works.

I will be connecting it to the wireless 4G to get internet access.

My concern is being in an area with 100,000 people that the internet will not work?

If you remember when you go to the footy or a rock concert with thousands of people the phone and 3G sometimes doesnt work due to the amount of devices trying to connect in a small space.

Would I be right in assuming the 4G wireless modem will be better then everyone's phones and will work ok?

Thought about making a video??? Time consuming I know but would solve any issues of having no signal

Thats a good idea. Make a ten minute vid and just loop it on replay. Whilst also having the actual program there just incase it does work then you can show people how it works....

That is a good idea actually.


I have the screen recorder at work and could do a tutorial on how it works and pick good vids to put on place marks to show etc. show to use the site and how to upload videos etc.

Right so the clock on my laptop was two hours fast after reinstalling windows. I finally decided to fix it this morning. The time zone was set to USA somewhere so easy fix I thought..... I put the time zone to Hobart but that's 5 hours fast???? I tried other aussie cities and they were all fast. Wtf is going on? Have I been off work that long that I don't know what time is anymore!? Lol

[rusty_nail]

hey mate after you change the timezone have you synced with a time server to optain the most recent time?

Nope! Shouldn't that sh1t be automatic!? I was hooked up to the wifi at the time. So there'll be an option somewhere to do that?

[rusty_nail]

yeah automatic but it doesnt happen immediately. see below pics for where to go;

Click the Clock and click Change time and date settings…
Under the Internet Time tab, click Change Settings

Check Synchronize time with an Internet time server. I chose to use the default windows.time.com, click Update now, and click OK
