I met a guy today at the mini-RR in Glencoe.
We got to talking about GPS technology. He
said he just started working for Agilis Systems.
Its Chief Technical Officer is going to do a
presentation at a local Java Users Group
meeting next week. The keynote presentation
is called: "How to capture GPS locations
and display them on a mapping system."
This talk will explain the fundamentals of GPS,
and will step the audience through capturing
GPS locations on a laptop with an attached
GPS receiver and eventually displaying
them on a mapping system. An intro will
be provided to GPSD and the Google
Mapping API, and several key GIS concepts
will be discussed.
They meet near Olive and highway 270 from
6:30pm - 8pm. More details can be found here:

I am not a Java programmer, but I am interested
in the Google API (I'm sure that's what
geocaching.com is now using). I currently
work just a few miles from the meeting location.
I think I will attend (it's free). It doesn't
hurt to get out and mingle with some new people
(although, they are still geeks, like me).
