As you may have already been alerted (thanks to our friends), Red Hen has a decade of experience building spatial imagery (yikes, how time flies). You can pull a MediaMapper 5.1 Trialware from http://www.redhensystems.com . If you are going to buy a new GPS I would suggest that you consider the Garmin Gecko 103. It is very low cost, small, accurate and if you were to do spatial video collection, you can mount it directly to SONY video cameras and it will not only insert camera GPS location but camera heading as well... see RHS's VMSx. (And for those looking to the near-term potential of MapInfo.NET drop us a note of interest and when the time arrives (soon?) we would like to work with you too.) I personally like Nikon digital cameras but really any one of the heaps out there are fine. I would not go much smaller than 2 mega pixel though.
An alternative that permits both GPS data logging as well as data entry can be put together with a "Bluetooth" enabled PDA (Compaq has good models), a Bluetooth GPS (Socket GPS http://www.socketcom.com/product/GP0804-405.asp) and Trimble's EZMap WinCE (http://www.trimble.com/aggps_ezmap.html) field data and scouting product. Try not to freak-out on EXMap's agriculture design. It is very flexible and can be completely reconfigured to capture really any sort of field data inventory quickly including pick lists and the like. MediaMapper is also resold by Trimble Navigation and you should be able to contact one of their international vendors.

It would be appreciated if you could suggest products of GPS, digital camera, and software. I do no care much about resolution of the photos, but prices do count. I would like to use a handheld GPS, Garmin II, if possible. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 11734 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 11771
