This week in GPS is a weekly link roundup of (mostly) GPS related odds and ends, from GPS Tracklog and other places around the Web. This week’s featured image is the GPS tribute to actor Bill Paxton, who passed away this week. The GPS dots that spell out his initials were made by storm chasers motivated by Paxon’s role in the 90s film “Twister.”
