Title: Off topic: GPS and MS Access

Another
indirect method, and perhaps not exactly what you would want to do, is to use
the (free) ExpertGPS which allows recording tracks direct to a map and will
save as the standard XML format for GPS (known as GPX). The GPX data standard has
been in use since 2002. ExpertGPS i9s lighter-weight (idownload, install,
licensing, disk space requirements) than MapInfo plus BlueMarble Geotracker.
It’s
worth looking at the Topografix / ExpertGPS websites - http://www.topografix.com/default.asp
and http://www.expertgps.com/default.asp
Access
2003 will be able to import the XML format (via a Wizard). As with all Access
imports, those import parameters established once, are then available for a
very simple import of the data format thereafter.

Good
morning all
Anyone
know of any options for recording GPS data directly into MS Access rather than
to MapInfo? Manifold GIS previously had a GPS Tools module for this but
it is not compatible with current versions of MS Access.
