Your example is really cool! How well did it do in actually targeting the location of the missing snow boarders?

What a timely request. I'm just such a person, and have *just* this week started a mailing list for local SAR volunteers to explore using GRASS for SAR planning, but it's pretty much a case of the one-eyed guy with cataracts leading the blind. I am very much interested. > Any links to case articles would be great too. Here's a trivial one I cooked up a couple weeks ago (unfortunately) *after* a multi-day search for stranded snowboarders in extreme weather conditions: http://www.swcp.com/~russo/080103/ A textbook toy GIS problem that highlighted how well a GIS could have been used had a volunteer knowledgeable enough to use it been in the command post. The set of such volunteers is microscopic, though, and I hope to change that in this area. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
