yes to both questions. commercial GPS recievers do 100m accuracy I understand (and then averaging will get you more accuracy...)
if you need meter accuracy (~10m) you need a special reciever. If you have such a reciever, you probably should not say so :) http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter/gpsfaq.txt I don't know how useful GPS is at home, but I can see some one using it on a laptop. I think GPS on a PDA makes the most sense. eg as a springboard module for the visor. for running under linux, I found two sites but both seemed to be start up: http://www.netcraft.com.au/geoffrey/gps/ http://gpsdrive.kraftvoll.at/index.shtml the second site appears more "spiffy", but having no GPS hardware myself, I can not give you a first hand. -kg On Mon, 24 Feb 2003, Joydeep Bakshi wrote: > Hi all, > > Just interested to know whether it is possible in India as well as in linux > or not . > > there are a no. of GPS satellites . any computer user in USA can buy a > GPS receiver (PCI card/PCMCIA or external) & using the bundled s/w & maps > (comes with the card) can use the GPS facility. this is very much popular > among the travelers. > > any how > > 1)can we also use this type of GPS facility in India & ? > > 2)is it possible in linux ? > > Please let me know if any one knows this. > > thanks in advanced > > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body > "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line. > FAQ: http://www.ilug-cal.org/node.php?id=3 > -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
