white strip Robin Lovelock in Sunninghill Click here for page on robot boat to cross Atlantic from UK to USA From Robin Lovelock: I officially retired in 2012, but my wife June says that I retired 10 years before ! GPSS.co.uk began in 1995 for my GPS Software business - now a hobby. Millions of copies of GPSS had already been distributed on PC Magazine CD. Over 10,600 people in 153 countries contacted me then used GPSS. SatNav was very new then, and GPSS did much more. e.g. Radio Direction Finding and AVL / Chase . GPSS spoke your language. e.g. Russian or Japanese. Some pages are still updated. e.g. Snoopy's attempts to cross the Atlantic from UK to USA, almost every year since 2012. See Snoopy's Robot Sailing Boat or click on the changing picture to the right. Since 2002, I maintain the NHSCare.info Coughlan Campaign Charity site, helping people in the UK to use the Law to get free long term care from the NHS, and not have to pay for the care home. I also have inside knowledge into UK NHS mental health treatment. See my Grumpy page, with my personal views on World events. Much of GPSS.co.uk has changed little over more than 25 years. Since I retired, I'm too busy for paid work. Visit my Bigger Picture page, to see how we spend time. e.g. Hobbies and Holidays or Walks :-) white strip

Dr Strangelove Cockleshell Heroes I entered Defence Industry as an apprentice in the mid 1960s. Ferranti sent me to City University for a B.Sc in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. That's where I saw Dr Strangelove . I became a Systems Engineer, and work included Royal Navy ship software. I worked for SHAPE as a NATO scientist through the 1970s, when GPS and the Internet were secret. See Robin's memories of SHAPE Technical Centre and John Manniello . Our young family returned to the UK in late 1980 and I worked for EASAMS until starting our small GPS Software business in 1994 - now a hobby. In publicity about Snoopy's Robot Boat, the Press called me a "Retired NATO Scientist". Perhaps that should be "Mad Retired NATO Scientist" :-) white strip

See Amateur Radio and Radio Direction Finding pages. e.g. tracking a radio transmitter. See picture on the right. Techys can add mapping to GPSS. e.g. from Bing and Google maps; sounds for spoken guidance. "It's like having a little friend in the car with you" :-) Make GPSS speak other languages. white strip

Tuesday 1st April 2025 and our Spaghetti Tree is in flower again ...

spaghetti tree June, Robin, and Spaghetti Tree Robin and June pose proudly beside the Spaghetti Tree in their back garden which continues to flower every year. The tree is now nearly 50 years old, having been raised from a small seed collected by June and Robin during a holiday in northern Italy in 1976. The trip was funded by NATO, we hired a Fiat 500, and Samantha, just two years old, kept shouting "Spaghetti!". We stayed in Abbano Terme near the military base inside Monte Venda - no longer secret - Google it ;-)

These Spaghetti trees, very rare outside Italy, cannot be grown from cuttings or the fruit - many have tried planting spaghetti, but with disappointing results. We've also tried tagliatelle, but that also did not grow. This particular variety is "Spaghetti Monstera Grande" - known to some seasoned gardeners as "Big Whopper". Tap or Click on us to enlarge the photos.

You can see the original BBC TV broadcast about the 1957 bumper italian spaghetti harvest if you click here or the first youtube video below.

After that are videos of Robin's early robot boats, built for Snoopy to cross the Atlantic, from UK to USA. Yes, that was Robin who saved that antelope :-) white strip spaghetti tree Man Rescues Antelope Snoopy's Cat Snoopy's Windmill Boat white strip

GPS tracking of people near BBC TV Centre Video of GPSS the Free GPS Software GPSS can track and control multiple vehicles from a fixed or mobile PC, by use of mobile 'phone, radio or satellite communications.

The objects tracked may be vehicles, people, boats, or even bottles. They may be many miles away, but seen on mapping for 164 countries - right down to "house level" maps. GPSS can be used in "chase" mode, guiding the driver to a mobile target. See AsOnTV for UK police doing this in 1996. Play this video to see what else this free GPS Software can do.

Robin Lovelock You will see that I am extremely "up front" about who we are, and our GPS Software business since 1995 - now a hobby :-)

Click here to see GPS Navigation with the GPS Software See my business page. Big resources are not needed to give people permission to use GPSS, or make the occasional software change. I've worked in larger companies and on larger projects than most people, and have no need to pretend what I am not. I greatly respect others who are able to be equally "up front" about themselves and their own business - however small it is - so don't be shy :-)

I would like to thank the many thousands of "enthusiasts" around the World who helped us test and improve GPSS. This was a family business, but it is still a great network of friends. Thankyou.

The hosting on user28153.vs.easily.co.uk also worked well for many years, until August 2020. Company* aquisitions resulted in problems - mostly fixed. * See Endurance International Group, including Newfold Digital on Wiki. ** TSO had not updated since April 2024, following lack of support. See end of Host Europe Group . BUT, after aquisition by 123Reg and good techical support from Romania, in January 2025, progress was made in updating the TSO site. Thanks Tudor & others ;-) BUT, on 14th March 2025, 123-Reg stopped redirection of their domain gridhosted.co.uk. Robin is still waiting to hear if he can pay to bring it back - or what the URL of the 123Reg hosting now is :-( You may research these companies yourself on the Net :-)
