can you recommend any GPS hardware receiver (no maps, no nothing, just GPS) to use with notebook? I own a Xaiox Xplorer, a Wintec WBT 201 and a i-Blue 747. From all three I like the i-Blue most. The used MTK chip is quite resistant against reflections. The NMEA protocoll has all information

For webmap rendering we use the spherical mercator projection, which assumes the earth is spherical. Although it's not particularly accurate, the maps are good enough. I believe the spherical earth is assumed since it simplifies client-side calculations considerably. 2008/9/23 Jan-Benedict Glaw
