Sounds like you have yourself a real cool gizmo party. Does that deng hum or chirp ? Don't forget the solar panel on your back pack for extended hikes.
Here is a little test for you now that you are equipped: What do you find at this location : GPS (lat/lon): 45.46162, -122.67416.
If you find this out til Sunday 2200 hrs you may take your wife to the highest point
in Ozark (again) and enjoy dinner there (again).
Have fun

Hi all on Rangernet. I just went out this morning and got a GPS hand
held from Bass Pro Shop. I hooked it up to my topo USA on my laptop and
it gave me in real life movements on my laptop screen. I had my loving
wife who thinks I am a bit nerdish... to drive me around ozark while I
poked and played around with this Laptop GPS Software configuration. It
was pretty cool drivng around a area I didn't know what was where and
being able to announce exactly what was up a head to the second. Elevation and direction and speed. I even took her to the highest place
in ozark... and we enjoyed dinner there. HA!
Really this technology is outstanding. I also works like a compass and
does elevations as well as topo map download/uploads(I haven't done this
yet) The hand held unit has display so you can use it by itself but the
laptop...it gives you every detail you could amagine. When you turn it
turns...etc.
My laptop didn't have a serial port. I purchased a USB to serial port
adapter and it all works great.
Anyone have any good tips to point me to about these things?
