Pulsars I think you mean on the 130, Geminis are deckers.

I'd always assumed that it was GPS. It would avoid the vulnerabilities of a distance-based system to detours (e.g. if a road was blocked) or to an inaccurate initialisation of the starting point.
Anyone know for sure?

As far as im aware of its hooked up to the gps like the ticket machine.

This suggests that, unlike a previous suggestion, more than 3 Enviro300s will be refurbished to Sapphire standard.
