Thank you, easirider. I think he offered it here in LYN too, but I can't find the thread anymore.
BTW are you still using the GPSr from LeVisGuY? I'm very happy with mine, very good accuracy and trouble free. That was a crazy bulk, right?

I'm very happy with mine, very good accuracy and trouble free. That was a crazy bulk, right? Right now using a holux236 slim. LevisGuy gpsr i am lending it to a friend. Definately a very memorable bulk. Accuracy of the solar gpsr is greatly enchanced with an external antenna. Here's the link to the touch screen in lelong: http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2007-03D...DEO_MONITOR.htmSame person casey in who is doing the bulk here for the holux: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=388030&hl=caseyShould pm him and ask him about the touch screen lcd.

Ms Noob in GPS here. I was wondering what i would need to do this kind of graph? (with or without the land is ok) What im looking for is kinda like a altitude vs distance kind of graph but in a 3D format. Hope this explanation helps!  For hardware, so far reading this thread, i can sum up that all i need is a GPS device that would be able to record waypoints. What about the software? Any pointers?? I cant seem to google any software which would give me this kind of graph. The homepage's of the softwares lacks in their screenshots.. Any help? Added on March 9, 2007, 5:36 pmYea, might i add that i would use this mainly off-roading, mountain biking and trail hiking. This post has been edited by me0wSter: Mar 9 2007, 05:36 PM

For off road use like you described, why not get yourself a Garmin 60 CSx dedicated GPS device instead? It's water proof, rugged and is more suitable for the usage you mentioned.

Depend where you get it. Pricing range from RM 1,800 - 2,400. Price would be cheaper if you can get it at Singapore. Bought mine 76csx from here : http://www.sltsb.com/prod02.htm

There are 3 types of GPS receiver for PDA i.e: 1) Bluetooth GPSr 2) CF card GPSr (Going to be obsolete soon or oledi obsolete as new PDA dun hv CF slot anymore!) 3) SD card GPSr such as those sell by spectec (new) Most of go for BT GPSr as it is more convenient, affordable & abundant......price of BT GPSr has dropped tremenously and u can get one as low as RM200++ to a hi-end Garmin GPS10x for RM700++

Probably u need a driver to connect the GPSr wth PDA. Then u need a mapping software such as Garmin Que + PS proxy (free) or Mapking (About RM200++) or Imap More info from malsingmapsBut be warned..do not try to post such a simple question in the forum unless u have read more about gps in their Help/faq/wiki section or else you will surely got tembak left & right...The FAQ will answer all your question but probably u need days to digest!

Getting Started

I have questions here.
1) Which is mapking version is better? v2007 or v10? 2) My office has a Garmin18 USB GPS. Is it possible to connect to my XDA ATOM mini USB port and use GPS? Any alternative to connect the USB gps to PDA?
Thanks.
