Hi I has some friends in a Polish National Park (Wigry in the beautiful north-east Poland), which has some problems with the setup for bathrymetric surveying of their lakes. They are using Mapinfo and Vertical Mapper for countoring and has both dGPS equipment (Garmin Survey II) and a echo sounder (Furono). The problem is about integration GPS and echosounder information. The GPS outputs several NMEA sentences but can't merge the echosounder NMEA sentence and produce a complete output with lat/long and depth. They need at pice of soft/hardware which can take GPS NMEA sentences on one port, Echosounder NMEA sentences on another and merge them togther to a new complete sentence (and, if possibly, parse it to Geographich tracker as points with depth as an attribite -ready for use in VM, but a simple NMEA ASCII file would do the job). Do you you know such a solution or could you give a clue about a free or cheap solution for automatic bathymetric survey. Ole Gregor, Viborg Amt (County), Denmark [EMAIL PROTECTED] TLF.
