This might be the ticket...IF you can wait until June. For $590 and the
ability to run apps created in SDK, this one looks promising.

Subject: GISList: GPS woes
Ok folks. This has been a frustrating experience so far. I'm working on a
project where we need to do some field data collection with GPS. This is
real basic, no custom forms for the GPS, no navigation from one point to
another, just collection of lat long coordinates in WGS84 for many
locations, save the locations (waypoints ?) in the handheld, then upload at
the end of each day (week) to a PC, post process for differential correction
and then move the point file into ArcView 8.x. We priced a Trimble
solution, excellent stuff but at $5K, it was overengineering a solution.
Garmin seems to have a solution that fits the price point (eTrex Vista), but
I can't get anyone at Garmin to tell me what to use for post processing for
differential correction before putting the points into AV. Aside from that,
trying to find a dealer that is knowledgeable about technical issues and has
this product in stock [ Best Buy, Circuit City and CompUSA staff are funny,
aren't they...] is turning out to be more challenging that the field project
we are trying to accomplish.
My request is for any feedback on a basic solution that would accomplish
what I've indicated we want to do. I could spend days and weeks
researching, trying to weed through the marketing fluff, meanwhile, my
project should be underway. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
Anthony
