Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Kyle Cassidy Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 2:06 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] my camera bag is getting BIGGER! -- GPS advice okay -- for reasons that hopefully i'll be able to talk about in the weeks ahead in more detail (though those of you who are shrewd will probably figure it out without too much trouble), i'm driving across america this summer stopping in various places to do a series of portraits. i'm thinking that i might want to get a GPS to make navigating between all these places easier (i'll be stopping in 16 cities and probably taking two, maybe three portraits in each). my thoughts: 1) i'd like a gps that interfaces with my laptop, since i'll be bringing a laptop to store my, er, film, on. it's a mac g4. 2) after this trip i probably won't use the GPS for ANYTHING except geo caching snickers bars. -- i don't own a car. so ... i'd like a handheld unit, it doesn't need intergal maps, but interfacing to a laptop with mapping is essential. and since i'm not going to use it much afterwards, cheap is good, used is good .... renting might not be bad .... any advice on what to get? kyle _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
