[Ottawa_users] Re: Ottawa_users Digest, Vol 32, Issue 3

Come on out to one of our meetings and have some chats over beer.

Our list specifically targets Free and Open Source Software for Geomatics (FOSS4G), so the solutions offered tend to fit into the open source stack. Open Source Solutions run on all the major operating systems including WINDOWS, MAC, LINUX.  The crowd tends to be quite LINUX centric as well.

I would start with:
* QGIS and their GPS plugin....
http://www.qgis.org/

If you are working with windows try the OSGEO for Windows (OSGEO4w) installer... The express install will allow you to select QGIS
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ 


Keep us posted, and feel free to come out and chat.

Cheers
