[Geowanking] Re: GPS device recommendation

wow that looks fantastic David!

I would definitely try to scale up that map and place my comments on  
the map for sure. That would create a nice way of narrative.


I just ordered my GPS device and hopefully get it and do some tests  
before I leave. I will definitely let you know how it goes.
I am also thinking to implement this on a flash interface in the end  
for a better navigation.

As for the GPS device, I went with Wintec WBT-201 solution. One of  
the biggest reason was time. I just didn't want to risk it. I read  
different reviews about WBT-201 and heard good things about it.

Again, thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge.  I will surely  
let you guys know how it goes.

best,
ilteris
