Hello Charles,
I'd be interested in your GIMP tutorials. I've worked through some
tutorials but know that there is a more depth there. I still want to
spend some time Grokking the GIMP but like a lot of my reading it is
still waiting for a non-busy, rainy day.
I picked up a Garmin ETrex Legend this summer and have been toying with
GPSDrive and GSPPoint. In fact I took the kids geocahcing this
afternoon out by the glacier. We've been having a lot of fun with it.
In downloading the waypoints and tracks I found a bug in the perl script
that converts the data for GPSDrive. If that's any use to you - I'll
dig it out and send it. Also I'm perplexed as to a map syncing error in
GPSDrive that consistently throws off my position (maybe 400 ft WNW). I
see the same error in MS Streets & Trips. Anyways lets compares notes
sometime - at a JLUG meeting or otherwise.
Did you also have to get a usb to serial cable? My laptop has no serial
ports. Also I travel to the northern part of the lp (Roscommon) every
summer to visit family. Where do you go?
