Gidday All,
I'm late to this thread so someone might have already said it, but as well
as ArcPad there area bunch of little Windows CE specific mapping programs
hanging around that are quite useful. Itils MapInPocket is really cool and
HandMap pro isn't too bad either. Both take GPS as a plugin thru the old
RS232 and are good in the field.
They really only use ESRI shape files and .gif images, and the layering can
be a hassle until you fiddle around a bit, but they are a useful tool in the
field. Both are free to download for trial, and cheap shareware to buy -
way better than 5 hundy for ArcPad.
Isn't MapInfo bringing out a program similar program to ArcPad though?
Also, I use a Sharp PV-5000 H/PC which comes with 32MB as standard and a
decent colour screen. This machine kicks arse for running the handheld
mapping programs, but costs about $1700 Australian.
Cheers,
Stu Bell
