Test with starting point at Exeter using research library (N-squared) matching algorithm and variable cache size

Cache is built using a square with sides 20 km. User's path has steps of (2000, 2000) metres, with a total of 11 retrievals. Amount of look-ahead (both E and N) is 5km. Cache size is 46.

Threshold for building the cache was 5%.

Point furthest from the centre of cache (29700000, 09700000) is 2835605, 0825684; distance away is: 19.8116 kilometres.

Non-default algorithm used was: Context Matcher with N-squared location-matching algorithm: version of Jan 4 2003.

Commentary on this starting point: this may be a favourable case as the cache is centred on an area with lots of attractions, and the area outside the cache has fewer attractions.
