[Ovmsdev] Locations and scripts

[Stephen Casner]

Anko,

Yours is an interesting additional datapoint, but I think the cause is
unrelated.  In the cases I mentioned the cars were parked in our
private garages.  As Mark suggested, for the Roadster the software may
not be obtaining the GPS data in the most reliable manner.
