But produce supported on Linux officially by manufacturer is what required. Now, it is just matter of chance. If if worked on Linux fine, otherwise keep rebooting or use friends PC on M$ window to use you device. Found following GPS devices when searched for Linux. http://search.store.yahoo.net/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=SEMSONS-INC&vwcatalog=SEMSONS-INC&query=linux&x=0&y=0 http://www.semsons.com/vivgblgpsdal.html has facility to Voice Tag with inbuilt mic. http://www.semsons.com/amaggpsdalos1.html ======= OT ======= We purchases Smart Class Room system. Company promised it to work on Linux. When I demanded its working on Linux, even after 3 week I yet to get CD for Linux [Courier lost it in between :-( ]. Yesterday they send person (from Delhi) to give me demo on Linux, who does not carried any CD with him and has never worked on Linux. He just wasted my two hours and went back without any gain. Their website do mention support for M$window, Mac and Linux, but number of software for M$ windows is more and are having higher version. http://www.einstruction.com/support_downloads/downloads.html -- H.S.Rai _______________________________________________ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in
