Thank you for your comments, Iam now confident to proceed with the purchase of a GPS unit for the small data collection project we have at council.   Thank you again to everyone who responded     ----- Original Message ----- From: Johnson, Stuart (ENet) To: 'Holroyd Engineering Services' Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 5:30 PM Subject: RE: MI-L GPS hardware for development in VB Hope I have answered your questions.  I think the origin of NMEA goes back 20 or more years, the protocol was set up to allow marine nav systems to talk to autopilots and other electronics.  Have you used the GPS interface for MapInfo (Blue Marble Geographic Tracker), I use when I go on a field trip to navigate our assets.  I have recently arranged a tablet computer to set up as a field navigation aid with MapInfo running on windows98, ideally, I want to use a palm/windowsCE device for field use.   Regards Stuart Johnson Lines Engineer ElectraNet SA Po Box 7096 Hutt Street Post Office Adelaide South Australia 5000
