[Openstreetmap] Open Map of Paris

[Karen O'Rourke]

What does the GPS unit need to be able to do? I gather there are problems of
reception, storage and compatibility. Do you have any concrete suggestions
on which models might be better for this kind of project? We need some kind
of receiver which can be connected to a PC. There is no need to buy any kind
of map data if we're generating our own, or is there?

I've been looking into GPS & have found some lists of waypoints online
(http://www.swopnet.com/waypoints/gps/france5.html). Can these be
used/useful to the project?

Thanks,

Karen
