More GPS Data Logging
A solar powered GPS data logger has been doing the rounds, from Vector One and Free GeoTools (who links to the specs page). This neat little GPS unit has a SIRFStarIII chipset (32 channel) with 8mb of memory. Its (of course!) solar powered, with a foldout LCD screen so that it can be used as a “standard” GPS or simply set to data logging. Its also BT enabled.
Given my previous review of the Sony CS1 I think we are going to see more devices in this form factor (partly because us NeoGeographers are collecting data not, navigating). It seems sensible for there to be a convergence in this area and the Keomo certainly seems to do that with solar, blue tooth, data logging, form factor and regular GPS functions. This is going to be in interesting area of development.
