[OSM-newbies] GPS tracks in realtime on laptop?

[Chris Hunter]

OK, I stand corrected with regards to Surveyor.  Shows what I get for being
born a fat fingered neanderthal who can't stand laptops because he needs a
desktop machine with a real keyboard *CHUCKLES*.

I've used OSMTracker on Windows Mobile and it's supposed to run on any
Windows box with .NET 2.0 installed.  I tried an older version of Garmin
nRoute a few minutes ago and it should do what you want.  You can either
roll your own Garmin maps with
mkgmap<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap>or download a
pre-compiled map of the area you want to groundtruth and you
should be all set.
