GPS Options - Hardware AND Software help needed

Thankyou Si,

I'd more or less come to the conclusion that if I hadn't easily found any GPS Receivers with WiFi there either weren't any, or they were horribly expensive!

From another forum I got techie answers to explain why 'GPS Receivers with WiFi' didn't exist. They convinced me, so I'm not taking that any further.

A work colleague has a card that looks the same as the Zoom, but his is badged Newlink. I couldn't find a Newlink version, so have just ordered a Zoom from Expansys, for about twice what you paid!! (So I'm rather glad your stockist isn't showing any stock!!).

For the GPS Receiver, I'm going to wait and see how it performs with the one in the car at the moment. It's branded 'Clip-on', and has a Sirf chip, but is only 12 channel, so probably not Sirf III.

Cheers.

is this any good for whats been discussed?

The biggest problem with that unit is that it'll require a special pen to use on the screen, it won't recognise finger taps.

It has what is know as an 'active' digitiser, you need to look for a unit labelled as 'passive' digitiser or just 'touch'.

The previously mentioned Fujitsu Siemens LT P-600 are a favourite in the states with pilots but there are two different types of screens on them, one is better outdoors than the other, check with any sellers before buying.
