I was talking to an old friend this afternoon, and it looks like I might have another Open Street Map ... "victim" :-) . So, next question being what GPS should he get. My person preferred solution (the GPS receiver that came Microsoft Streets and Trips) fails on the portability area. Here are the parameters:
- Cost is a consideration, he would like to get into mapping but not spend a lot. - He lives away from major population centres and would like to buy local, so a model that is available from major Canadian retailers (Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc.). - Display doesn't really matter, a B/W display would certainly be okay, and a pure data logger might be okay. - Battery powered is important as while this would normally be used in his car, he want the option of following hiking trails. - Ease of transferring *.gpx files to his (Linux) based PC and then on OSM is important. Suggestions? Thanks. Colin. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
