Fabrice:

Check out Terrasync, Solo Field and ArcPad -- all of those do what you are talking about. Rumor has it there may be an open source/freeware GPS + field data software out there, anyone know if these rumors are true?

Hi All,

A quick question, does anyone know of a good field GPS which permits you to easily enter field data associated with a GPS point? For example, we're interested in spatial arrangement of trees at the pasture level and thus will be conducting a census of trees including their GPS coordinates, DBH, crown measurements and a couple of other measures. I was wondering if there was a machine with good positional accuracy (<4 m) and that capability.

Any suggestions are helpful.

Cheers,
Fabrice
