Actually I was thinking rural routes to build up roads around towns, but in any case as long as the streets/roads are plotted, someone else can then add names afterwards similar to what they did with Sydney and London by plotting the streets out from the yahoo sat imagery and then getting others to name them etc. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Good idea sending a data logger out with a postie type person. Out of curiosity how do you plan to capture the sign posted street names as they weave around the district?

I was just going off the specs listed and all the devices about the $100 mark only listed 5-60s log times, default of 15s. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Cheap data logger
Hi, I have a QStarz BT-Q1000 and I just set it to log every 10m which also avoids the multiple points while you are stationary problem. It logs 100,00 points and has a battery life of 36 Hours. There is obviously a newer version (BT-Q1000X) but it seems compatible with the software I uses (bt747) which allows you to set the "log every 10m" option. I have used this device on Windows, Mac and Linux for grabbing the data. I don't know for sure but it seems to use the MTK chipset so I wouldn't write off any device using MTK - My device has been excellent for logging OSM data and the accuracy has been excellent.

After doing a fair bit of reading I came up with the following results: Globalsat DG-100 Chipset: SiRF StarIII cheapest found was $112 from http://www.expansys.com.au/d.aspx?i=149006 Pros * per second logging * 60,000 point memory Cons * doesn't record dulution of position * fragile housing * non-standard data access via windows only software, gpsbabel claims to be able to access Amod AGL3080 GPS Data Logger Chipset: SiRF III Pros * per second logging * can store dilution of position information and almost all GPS data * 256,000 point memory * shows as mass storage device, text based nmea log files Cons * Can't find .au distributor All MTK chipset devices seem to be unsuitable for OSM purposes due to minimum 5 second logging, at 100km/hr there will be almost 140m between points. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
