In your case I could see where that's an issue. We used to manage IP's on a spreadsheet, but now we do it with a web based system. Each installer has a temp IP they can assign at the customer location, get online, grab an open IP, and assign it - no big deal for us. Hey, not saying you're

[WISPA] GPS

I am looking at getting a GPS device. I'd like it to work with many different programs such as Google Earth, Radio Mobile, Kismet, etc. What sort of features do I need it to have to work with these programs? I'd also like to have it be an independent unit with elevation so I can climb a tower

Re: [WISPA] GPS

Mike, The elevation reading on a GPS is only accurate to within about 30 feet. Using one to measure tower height is not going to product accurate results. Travis Microserv Mike Hammett wrote: I am looking at getting a GPS device. I'd like it to work with many different programs such as

Re: [WISPA] GPS

Get a WAAS enabled machine. Then you can get accurate elevation measurements. Without elevation figures are pretty bad on a hand held device. - Original Message - From: Mike Hammett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 11:11 AM Subject:

Re: [WISPA] GPS

I figured a real GPS device would be more accurate than my Nextel phone, but apparently not. I've never seen it report an accuracy greater than 30 feet, even in areas where there is no cell coverage to augment the accuracy. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions

Also, get one with an electronic compass... Be careful that you make sure that the compass feature works when stationary. Many have the compass feature, but you must be moving for it to work. On 1/29/08 12:53 PM, Chuck McCown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Get a WAAS enabled machine. Then you can

Re: [WISPA] GPS

One thing to watch with the compasses is magnetic distortion. When we are aiming a PTP link or sector we will use a compass and a reference point from google earth. This is especially important when on top of a grain elevator since they can have some large electric motors for the
