Hi List:
Here is my challenge. I need up-to-date, accurate street layers. Affordable Aerial Photos are always behind the growth curve, and commercially produced street layers have the same problem and often show non-existent roads I would like to be able to throw an inexpensive GPS unit on the seat of a truck and drive slowly thru new neighborhoods and record my route, adding a lat/lon point to a continuously recorded snail trail at a recording rate of at least 1point/second. Slow update rates likely will result in missed corners and chords instead of smooth arcs representing the curves in the roads. Once the neighborhood is driven, I would like to be able to download the data and produce a MapInfo TAB file, either from a Shape File download or a comma delimited ascii data download. Can anyone recommend moderately priced GPS unit that will allow me to do this. I know that there are sophisticated Avionics units that will do this, but they are out of by budget range.
