Maps4site I tried the demo version and found it very good The good thing about it is that there is no mobilex software so no other licences required And it can view ecw formatted rasters Also uses .wor files instead of having to build .gst files
In the end I didn't go with the maps4site because of other post processing abilities that GBM Mobile has. But like all good competition The products keep on getting better Regards, Andrew Hare GIS Officer Waimate District Council New Zealand -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bob young Sent: Friday, 16 December 2005 11:21 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: MI_list (E-mail) Subject: Re: [MI-L] Need GPS Unit to produce Snail Trail that ccan be added toExisting MI Pro Street Layer Hi Doug You can do this with Maps4Site. The maximum sampling rate is 1 point per second - this is user configurable. You would only need the Lite version. You would need any Pocket PC/GPS combination. QTek and HP now both have released Pocket PC with the GPS built in. Maps4Site can view existing MapInfo tables in WGS84, so you will be able to follow yourself on any maps you have in MapInfo format. When you have finished collecting your "trail" you can export the data as MID/MIF and import it into MapInfo. There is an evaluation version at www.Maps4Site.co.uk, so you can test for free. If you need to test for longer than the standard timeout, let me know and I'll send you a password. Its quite a small program, and needs no install - just run the EXE off the SD or CF card.
