 The suggestion to convert to Google Earth/Google Maps kml/kmz file

the same company can format it differently for various models. The Google
mapping file formats seem to have become a defacto standard that most of the

 Converting to kmz will also allow the data to be shown easily in Goggle

display street maps, aerial images as well as terrain relief. There are

With Google Earth you can specify the cache size (make it big) and then zoom 
around the area you want while you're connected and you'll be able to see that 
area offline. Be careful - if you reconnect and zoom around someplace else 
you'll flush the good stuff out of the cache.

Re: [WISPA] OT, help with mapping stuff

2009-12-12 Thread os10rules
One option would be to use the product Mapwel to make your own maps which 
then you could load into the other folk's Garmin GPSes. I don't know if this is 
more than you need. You'd need the advanced version of Mapwel so you can use 
the maps with any Garmin GPS. You can make the maps transparent so they'd 
overlay over the existing base map. The transparent map can be turned on and 
off. Though you'd be making a map, all it would have to contain is the data 
you want to overlay over the base map. Mapwel is a very simple program to use 
and what sets it apart from the others is it does the whole process of getting 
the map all the way into the GPS without needing other helper apps. You could 
import the data you have from your GPS, touch it up (add names, change how it 
will be displayed) and export the map. There's some learning curve but it's not 
too steep.

What do you mean by routes? Is this for people to follow while 
driving/walking?

If it's not too much data I could take a shot at doing what you'd need. I have 
the advanced version of the app.

I use Mapwel to make maps of the area where I live because there are no 
existing maps.

I have no connection, financial or other to this product or company.

Re: [WISPA] Report: Broadband stimulus funds won't suffice

2009-12-12 Thread Mike
I have to believe we are on the cusp of some real innovation.  The 
answer will not be wireless as we now know it.  Instead, it will be 
some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency 
band and controlled by software defined radios.  With the right 
algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise 
the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer.

Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low 
power, and short range.  It can be done on a much larger, wider 
scale.  Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use 
and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of 
spectrum.  The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government 
will insist on having into the system.

http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html

Every house or business could have a central device communicating 
with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to  devices in use 
by individuals, using a lower power UWB.

I'm not sure the end device will be a phone/IPhone type device, but 
instead will be some sort of thin film display you either unfold, or 
something that is integrated into eye wear.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,667638,00.asp

I think we have reached the limits of the technology now commonly 
available.  The smart phone is not the answer.  Little tiny screens 
are usable by young eyes, but not by mature users.  A screen that 
communicates with the device in your pocket will be the norm.

I have a friend/customer who just got a new set of hearing aids.  It 
interfaces with his phone via bluetooth.  He is able to use a cell 
phone now, where previous attempts were less than satisfying.

My prediction is many of the people on this list will be amongst the 
innovators that bring these technologies to the masses.

 Maybe if it was given to those who are truly interested in providing
 broadband, it would be more than enough.
 
 How much more could YOU do, Scottie, if they gave you 100 grand outright?
 I
 bet it would go directly towards the customer.

I have to believe we are on the cusp of some real innovation.  The 
answer will not be wireless as we now know it.  Instead, it will be 
some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency 
band and controlled by software defined radios.  With the right 
algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise 
the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer.

Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low 
power, and short range.  It can be done on a much larger, wider 
scale.  Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use 
and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of 
spectrum.  The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government 
will insist on having into the system.

http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html

Every house or business could have a central device communicating 
with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to  devices in use 
by individuals, using a lower power UWB.

I'm not sure the end device will be a phone/IPhone type device, but 
instead will be some sort of thin film display you either unfold, or 
something that is integrated into eye wear.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,667638,00.asp

I think we have reached the limits of the technology now commonly 
available.  The smart phone is not the answer.  Little tiny screens 
are usable by young eyes, but not by mature users.  A screen that 
communicates with the device in your pocket will be the norm.

I have a friend/customer who just got a new set of hearing aids.  It 
interfaces with his phone via bluetooth.  He is able to use a cell 
phone now, where previous attempts were less than satisfying.

My prediction is many of the people on this list will be amongst the 
innovators that bring these technologies to the masses.

[WISPA] Tower Question

2009-12-12 Thread Mike Hammett
http://www.wirelessestimator.com/t_content.cfm?pagename=Basic%20Wind%20Speeds%20Rev.%20G%20with%20ice

According to that, I need to have my tower meet 40 mph and 3/4 of ice.

http://www.wirelessestimator.com/t_content.cfm?pagename=Basic%20Wind%20Speeds%20Rev.%20G

That map says I need 90 mph.

Could someone explain the differences?

I've seen some towers list round and panel sq. ft. maximums.  Can I just figure 
out the ratio of the maximums to translate panels to round or vice versa to 
determine my mixed use footprint?

 Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT, help with mapping stuff

 The suggestion to convert to Google Earth/Google Maps kml/kmz file
 format is probably best. The issue most will have is that different GPS
 companies can format the data differently for their particular GPS and 
 even
 the same company can format it differently for various models. The Google
 mapping file formats seem to have become a defacto standard that most of 
 the
 software packages support and can import and export.
 Converting to kmz will also allow the data to be shown easily in 
 Goggle
 Earth and with a little programming can also be displayed in the Google 
 Maps
 API on a web site. Nice thing about the Google Maps API is being able to
 display street maps, aerial images as well as terrain relief. There are
 plenty of ways to skin this cat and I am sure others with suggest their
 favorite tools of the trade. Whichever you chose just realize that you
 should do whatever supports the most brands of GPS's possible.


 Thank You,

 I have to believe we are on the cusp of some real innovation.  The
 answer will not be wireless as we now know it.  Instead, it will be
 some sort of ultra wide band signal spread over a certain frequency
 band and controlled by software defined radios.  With the right
 algorithms, many users could be using the same band and only raise
 the noise floor slightly to an observer or an analog spectrum analyzer.

 Most of the recent innovation in UWB is for personal devices, low
 power, and short range.  It can be done on a much larger, wider
 scale.  Distance will dictate the amount of spectrum a device can use
 and still have adapting radiators efficient at that slice of
 spectrum.  The biggest hurdle will be the back door the government
 will insist on having into the system.

 http://www.deviceforge.com/articles/AT8171287040.html

 Every house or business could have a central device communicating
 with the mesh or whatever it becomes, and relaying to  devices in use
 by individuals, using a lower power UWB.

 I'm not sure the end device will be a phone/IPhone type device, but
 instead will be some sort of thin film display you either unfold, or
 something that is integrated into eye wear.

 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,667638,00.asp

 I think we have reached the limits of the technology now commonly
 available.  The smart phone is not the answer.  Little tiny screens
 are usable by young eyes, but not by mature users.  A screen that
 communicates with the device in your pocket will be the norm.

 I have a friend/customer who just got a new set of hearing aids.  It
 interfaces with his phone via bluetooth.  He is able to use a cell
 phone now, where previous attempts were less than satisfying.

 My prediction is many of the people on this list will be amongst the
 innovators that bring these technologies to the masses.

 I've been with authorize.net for nearly 10 years and am basically happy 
 with
 them.
 With that said, I considered switching to IP-Pay but could never get a 
 full
 quote from them.
 Robert, Please let me know how it goes.

IPPay. Only saved us $500 per month and we get our money in 1-2 business 
days (instead of 4-5 with authorize). :) :)

Wow you saved 500/mo?  That has to be like 25c per customer!  Glad you
get your money quicker though :)

 IPPay is really cool. Expecially automatic features like figuring out
 the
 right CC exp date after it expires. We'd like to use it, if we could.
 But we dont use them because you really need a seperate billing system
 to
 integrate with them.
 We use Quickbooks for our billing, and from what I understood IPPay
 does not
 integrate with Quickbook's billing.

 PS. I know, why are we using Quickbooks for billing still? Resistent to
 change when something works, its easy, and no compelling reason to
 change.
