Hello all.  We have a need for mapping a few hundred parcels, and I<br>expect that will mean walking the property boundaries with  GPS device<br>in order to pick up corner coordinates, for subsequent entry into a<br>database.<br><br>Nothing at all unusual, I'm sure.<br><br>I'm OK with taking the point data for presentation, but I wonder if<br>anyone here can speak (actually, type!) to experiences with the<br>initial point data capture step; devices, etc, with recommendations.<br><br>AS<br>_______________________________________________<br>Discuss mailing list<br>Discuss@lists.osgeo.org<br><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss</a><br>
