[Qgis-user] GPS route

[Jake Maier]

Michael,

What about a route? String 100m lines together in a route, You even can tell
the GPS when to notify you about the coming of a node which will be the
beginning of a new line. Because it's nearly impossible to hit a 1X1m square
with the GPS, (it will constantly move on you) I use this feature to let me
know when I'm let's say 10 m from the point and then use a fixed amount of
paces and the bearing to be fairly unbiased in locating the point.

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a .gpx route along a straight line, but with a node
~100m. i.e. I have a transect and wish to survey every 100m. How can I split
straight polylines with a node every 100m, but keep the same line?

Obviously I can create points every 100m using the GRASS toolbox, but these
are then converted to a waypoint when saved as gpx. If I save the two node
lines then the GPS wont indicate when I've reached the next survey point...

Any help gladly appreciated!
Michael
