Kevin,
Thanks for the tip.
I bought a Garmin GPS because it was main stream and because I got a
discount. Mostly I use GPSPOINT for uploading and downloading data.
And GPSDrive for mapping. Someone else (Chuck H? Nels T?) also
recommended GPSBabel for data manipulation but I never got it to compile
correctly. My Garmin eTrex Legend will also talk nicely with
NetStumbler and Kismet and even MS Streets and Maps.
Lots to look at: http://freegis.org/database/?cat=0
I suspect a lot of progress has been made since I surveyed things a
couple of years ago.
Also of interest is the Sept 04 Linux Journal article: GPS Toolkit
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7467
Lots of fun to be had.
