Hi, I have just started to use adehabitat have maybe stumbled on bug in the calculation of dt in as.ltraj I have GPS data sampled in reasonable regular interval. In this case the interval should be near 1800 seconds. What I don't understand is how dt for relocation number 6 can be 5471 seconds. Is it a bug or is there something that I don't understand here? Any input appreciated. Demo data and code:
library(adehabitat)
points <- read.csv("points.txt",header=T) points$LMT_Date <-
as.POSIXct(points$LMT_Date) points
