Matthew Cream asked:


I know you can buy a device which sends you a text message with the coordinates every 10 minutes and then load them onto a computer for plotting – but they are expensive. Well a GPS chip exists in a Satnav right? How can I force that chip to save the data it recieves?

Are some GPS devices more accurate than others?

I need a device that can detect GPS coordinates precisely. Do most (all?) GPS devices pinpoint locations equally? Or do I need to buy a super expensive device?

Any suggestions on which GPS device to buy?

Thanks!

I’m developing a GPS Windows Mobile application (personal for now, but I might make it public) and I wanted to find out (theory wise) how to get the speed I’m traveling when given 2 sets of coordinates. I would go out and capture 2 coordinates driving at a constant speed, but I was hoping there was a magic formula.

JOHN asked:


I understand how Global Positing System works. What I would like to know is there a way normal people can find with the GPS coordinates point to. The military, and all emergency offices(Police, Sherriffs, highway patrol and fire departments) have them. Is it available for non-emergency personnel?
