Maning,<br>Collecting waypoints in tagaytay was how me and my wife spent our anniversary :-) after staying overnight at the Moon Garden Cafe bed&breakfast. Sinusulit yung cost of fuel and lodging, so might as well take waypoints for pasalubong before going back to manila, hehe. Well, my wife enjoyed the activity; but don't worry, i'm not taking her to the mapping party, as we need room for equipments in the car :-D i still have to figure out how to rig a 12v regulator for my netbook, unless someone can bring a DC-to-AC inverter. My china 12v 3A lighter plug adaptor is no longer working.<br>
<br>BTW, i used Nroute on a netbook with sirf usb ext antenna (good low EPE at that time); i did the driving and my wife did the typing. It's all hands free mapping. All I have to say to her was "Ctrl-W" (to mark the waypoints) and indicate if it's a Left or Right side waypoint (L or R). Very efficient, even if it's a stop and go driving. But you will have to decide if you will be collecting waypoints or tracks. Because for tracklogs, you always need to drive at the center of the road; for waypoints you need to drive by the road side so as not to block the traffic when you stop for a good 2-3-sec and get quality coordinates (coz some gps receivers calculate coordinates every 1-second, some every 5-seconds only - especially the bluetooth antennas) - and we need to consider this. Although time is also a factor, because of limited mapping hours.<br>
<br>I discovered that even with a city like Tagaytay, if you ask the residents their street name, they answer back with the name of their sitio or purok; then they will ask you if you are lost or something. I always have a ready answer for that. :-) They don't know their street names or probably no official street names at all.<br>

Hi,<br>

during the mapping party.<br>
