I use a variety of relatively inexpensive GPS receivers this way. For field
GIS work I use an older DeLorme BlueLogger bluetooth GPS with an Ipaq HX4700
running ArcPad. Works great. For just getting data I have used a variety
of Magellan and Garmin GPS receivers, currently using a DeLorme PN-20
handheld. All have some means to download GPS waypoints to your computer.
The best software for converting different receivers data format to XYZ
coordinate data, comma delimited, text file for import to a spreadsheet, or
directly to SHP or DBF or MIF or other file types is gpsu. A VERY
inexpensive shareware program from http://www.gpsu.co.uk They let you read
and write almost any type of GPS or GIS point file and translate to some
other type: Mapinfo to ArcMap to AutoCad to Spreadsheet to whatever you
like. And all that with what appears to be permanent responsive support. I
had a problem with my PN-20 when I first got it: no translation software out
there. So, I wrote the owner of GPSU and inquired and he rigged me a patch
within 48 hours. Dynamite.

Subject: [gislist] Capturing raw GPS Coordinates
Hello,
I would like to purchase either a PDA that has GPS built in or purchase a
GPS that would click on to my existing Palm TX. The GPS needs to be WAAS
enabled so I can get better accuracy. I would like to be able to capture
coordinates standard programs such as a spreadsheet or memo pad. Is this
possible without purchasing 3rd party software? If I need software to do
this, what is out there? Palm OS or Windows Mobile is fine.
