[Qgis-user] Panasonic Toughbook FZ-G1 and QGIS

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

I don't 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 :-)

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.

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).

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

If you need centimeter or decimeter precision, you're probably better of 
by buying a dedicated professional GNNS reciever in quite another 
price-range
