Dear all,<br>
is it sure, that the GPS in QGIS fails. It can be that the GPS on
the OS fails as well.<br>
I use it regulary with different tablets, even old fashion. <br>
GPS on board and previously GPS via blue-tooth.<br>
I never had an issue with GPS in QGIS, but with the connection
between the OS and GPS.<br>
bye Dieter<br>

<div>Hi<br>
<br>
</div>
We have been using the FZ-G1 in the field with Win 8
and we were pretty happy with it (not with Qgis
though).<br>
<br>
</div>
The only down we have identified until now is that the
port on which the GPS is running (COM3 if I remember
correctly) sometimes switches off without any reason...
Given that the people who use it in the field are not
always super techy, it can be an issue to switch the
port on again...<br>
<br>
</div>
But we haven't been able to identify in which situation
this "bug" (or whatever that is) happens.<br>
<br>
</div>
Hope that helps<br>
<br>

have any experience with the FZ-G1, only some older
Toughbook models. You can't kill them even if you drove over
them with a truck :-)<br>
<br>
Anyway, the agency I assist with their Tablet based field
solution, is now using relatively cheap consumer tablets
together with external USB based GNNS recievers.<br>
<br>
Just keep your option open about the GPS. The market for
cheap GPS'es is moving very fast, so any built-in GPS will
like be outmoded long before the rest of the pc is. Keep
your options open so it's possible to use a cheap and simple
external GPS (USB or Bluetooth based).<br>
<br>
The GPS I'm using and recommending right now is a HOLUX
M215+ (Remember the "+") which is a combined GPS/GLONASS
receiver. It consistently finds around 20 satellites (under
a clear sky), has a PDOP under 1.0 and is very stable<br>
<br>
If you need centimeter or decimeter precision, you're
probably better of by buying a dedicated professional GNNS
reciever in quite another price-range<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
does anybody have experience with the Panasonic Toughbook
FZ-G1 (with Windows<br>
8.1 or 7 professional) and QGIS for field work? Especially
working with<br>
the onboard GPS chip is interesting. Does it work without
problems?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Otto<br>
