[FQP] Whither K4M?

My firefox, version 11.0.xxxxx (don't know eggzact version,) complains 
bitterly that it cannot verify that someone might be tampering with my 
connection, and lists a bunch of IP numbers instead of fqp.k1xx.com in 
the url which it says cannot be verified and therefore I should NOT 
trust it.

How do we know this is a legit site, and that someone has NOT tampered 
with it to give us a virus when we connect?

To see the data, click on the box that says "Show on Map" and then the button that says "Update Map"  You will now see red and/or position tracks depending on which buttons you selected.  The data you see now is just for explanation purposes.  (Craig and I drove around a bit with devices.)  What you see is what you get.  The browser interface was intended to be very simple and will only show position.  You can see the actual lat/lon/time by clicking one of the position balloons.  That's it.
