What if the control software had a real-time dispatcher view of your layout,  allowing you to monitor the location and vitals of every engine AT A GLANCE and also throw switches and operate accessories from the same touchscreen?

 

I'm curious how the BT software and board installed in the locomotive allows you to monitor the location on the layout of the locomotive.  Can you explain the mechanism of that feature to me?

 

Now, the Lionel LCS actually does have that capability now on the iPad using the sensor tracks.  I can operate the locomotives, throw switches, operate accessories, and even check the current switch status, all on the screen. 

 

Pretty hard to see how position sensing will work without position feedback on the layout, are you equipping every locomotive with super accurate GPS?
