Actually no, I did two years ago and had Arndt send me a gps mouse, but never found the time to actually do more than preparation. After one year Arndt needed the mouse back and that was that ;( > > We do not have any such OpenJUMP projects at work right now that would > benefit about GPS connection but if you believe you could build such a > function I can consider supporting your work in some way. I pretty much am busy during the week with my day job in dvd/blu-ray authoring. I sometimes do independent projects as a freelancer and take weeks off for that. If you or somebody wants to invest in it I can offer a good weeks work for may be 500 Euros to reanimate the gps extension at least on windows boxes. Unfortunately I have to setup eclipse and jump dev environment from the scratch as I am doing no java development lately. Alternatively I can offer my findings (have to look for my notes) from 2 years ago to anybody who wants to do modifications. I'll forward this to the lists. I could imagine that some parties are interested in this and therefor might be willing to pool funds. regards ede > > Regards, > > -Jukka Rahkonen- > > -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- > Lähettäjä: edgar.sol...@web.de [mailto:edgar.sol...@web.de] > Lähetetty: 4. kesäkuuta 2008 13:16 > Vastaanottaja: Rahkonen Jukka > Aihe: Re: Off-list: Mobile GPS solution in OJ > > Hi Jukka, > > >> Hi, >> >> We have a need for GPS field data collection system.
