[OSM-dev] GPS Hardware Recomendation

[Johann H. Addicks]

> can you recommend any GPS hardware receiver (no maps, no nothing, just

It depends on your setup:
If you do not need wireless solution, DO NOT USE Bluetooth,  
since you will have a device wich will probably need to "re- 
paired" every few day/weeks/months.
So if the user of the product is not a techie, but just a  
person not familiar with computers, you will end with lot of  
support calls.

> I especially mean stable and working driver, clear interface and
> output data ideally in latitude/longitude/altitude format.

You will have to filter, since modern receivers will give  
you as well lots of additional data like number of visible  
satellites, estimated precision (horizontal and vertical  
DOP), speed, heading etc.. ;-)

anyway,

i recommend having a look at
