First light for i-gotU GT-100

Skrevet af morb_au den 8 juni 2008 på English

All things going well, the "first light" GPS trace from my new i-gotU GT-100 GPS logger will be online shortly @ osm.org/user/morb_au/traces/123411. Here's the info page: http://www.ja-gps.com.au/i-gotu-live-travel-blog-master.html

The gizmo is a "matchbox" GPS puck which can run as either a connected USB NMEA terminal or a disconnected GPS logger (can store just over 16,000 trackpoints, i.e. 4.5 hours at 1 second intervals - and yes, the memory fills up before the charge runs out).

I haven't really seen GPS loggers at anywhere near AU$79 before, so it was a fairly compelling purchase for me. If it all pans out as promised, it also means I don't have to drag around a bulky GPS terminal "on the road" any more. Just this thing and a digital camera.

I took it for a test drive in Brisbane around three newly developed areas that you won't find on the Yahoo imagery: Waterline in Bulimba; the Morrisey St overpass (North-South Bypass / Clem Jones Tunnel Ipswich Road portal construction precinct); and the Horace St exit overpass (NSBT again, this time the Lutwyche Rd portal construction).

Lat/Lon is for Waterline.

Sted: Bulimba, Greater Brisbane, Queensland, 4171, Australia
