[OSGeo-Discuss] Mobile GPS data collection...

[Jody Garnett]

There is a Google SOC project working on the data collection part for 
uDig, and uDig may be squished into eRCP platform (probably only runs on 
CE but still it may be fun). At the very least you can mine the work for 
ideas/code as it is LGPL.
Cheers,
Jody
