The device is Pico-powered and plugs right into the MacBook to function.

Previous Next 1 of 15 @WallyGPX ) has been drawing giant virtual geoglyphs across the heart of Maryland — and they get more impressive with each passing year. So far he’s made over 361 glyphs, ridden somewhere around 6,000 miles, and had more than a few strange encounters along the way.
