One of the main reasons I got my Freerunner was to play with its GPS features. I want to be able to use it as a replacement for closed-source applications like TDS Solo Field and ESRI ArcPad. Especially I want something that would facilitate my volunteer "citizen scientist" work
At the rate I am going I will probably never have more than 15 minutes a day to work towards this. In spite of this I decided to spell out what I have been thinking about in a wiki page because it would take too much space here and I think the interest might not be high enough to clutter up this very busy list with yet another very involved topic. I have a GPS in my pocket most of the time. I use a Garmin on my bicycles and on hikes. I have used various TDS and Trimble and ESRI products. Being a software developer I want something that I can tweak and tune and none of these commercial products even comes close to what I have in mind. Therefore I started this page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GPS_Data_Logger to talk about it and the intro there says this: -- This page was created to address the use cases mentioned in GTA02 GPS, including * I want to log GPS data for later analysis. * I want to collect GPS data for scientific field work (forestry, biology, etc) The page was started on 17 August 2008 mostly as a thought exercise. Please jump in and add to it.
