Reply to "Good GPS Article"

bobthurstonMember

I have a tangential question: does anyone have any recommendations for a useful gps device for measurers? My thoughts (i.e. excuses for being interested in a new toy):
1) I think it could help in locating mile or other points on a map, especially when there are no really good reference points (road through woods for example).
2) Could help in knowing the "shape" of a route, especially when you can't see it on a map or Google Earth.
3) If it's feasible to get a device for reading elevations I would really like to know the elevations for bridges and elevated highways, etc. This information doesn't show up on topo maps or on Google Earth (as far as I can figure out).
4) OK I'll admit that it seems like fun to play with.
I liked the article, and I agree with Duane's comment also.
