Yup, we use the GT-31 GPS (other GPS unit will do as long as it sends raw NMEA data). You can use two laptop and 1 GPS unit the laptop where the GPS is connected can share the GPS data to the other laptop using ad-hoc connection (not road tested yet). You will now have a "GPS server" for the other laptop (all running on Ubuntu 9.04) using the tangoGPS. Nice. Here's the video, its a bit shaky http://www.flickr.com/photos/37115311@N06/3553501790/<br>

Yes we did the "Rally style" mapping its effective and efficient.<br>
<br>
The dry run seems good next the mapping party.<br>
