I'm looking at GPS units, and would like to hear about anyone's specific experiences with the data capture side of GPS, specifically aiming to boil out a brand or feature recommendation that could guide me. I've already found at least one app. that claims to be a fairly universal translator [1] for different vendor data formats. But don't have much direct experience with getting the different flavors of GPS unit to talk to workstations.
The main choices seem to be Garmin and everything else, having recently heard some news about Garmin's USB models [2] that makes me leery ( I don't like giving money to someone's world domination plan ); I'd like to hear about alternatives. One feature I've been looking for that doesn't seem to exist, is the ability to record the orientation as well the location in the same waypoint. it seems to me that if a unit can offer bearing to next waypoint, it should be able to record a bearing in relation to some fixed point,no? Anywho, I've barely started researching this topic [3] and I'm looking for any advice and suggestions you all might have. 1. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsbabel/ 2. http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5745 3. http://gpsinformation.net/ -- http://Zoneverte.org -- information explained Do you know what your IT infrastructure does? _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
