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.

 

Thanks

 

Doug Wassmer
