Do you have access to laptop projectors? I may be able to borrow one.
How does this sound for the next class:
Have everyone in one group and use a laptop projector for a quick
demonstration on what various software will do.
Since your room has a divider. Then divide up into two groups. Then we can
divide up the time for training on how to use software and how to create
pocket queries.
Here are some of what I think we could demonstrate and train on:
Pocket Queries
Street Atlas USA 2004 Plus
MS Streets or what ever it is called
GSAK
SPINNER
GPSBABEL
EasyGPS
ExpertGPS
QuakeMap
Plucker
MapSource
EasyMPS
Anything else we are missing?
We probably would not have time to teach and demonstrate PDAs. That could
be the next session.

Jim;
sounds good. May want to add Watcher with GSAK. For the PQ we'll need
internet access so I guess that's no problem with Mike's PC. I think the SW
you mentioned will take up the whole evening so saving the PDA's for next
time is a good idea.
PDA session should be started out with everyone for those that are thinking
of getting one and can get an idea of how they should go. Then break up the
room again with Palm/PPC sessions.
