gis - gps

[IRM]

anyone have good knowledge of GIS and gps
a little too long to post requirements but would like to get an unbiased opinion on software
and devices from someone who isn't tying to sell me something

[tank slapper]

What do you intend to use it for? There are a multitude of devices and packages available, which are tailored for different things.

Ditto that what are you trying to use it for..

I have used a multitude of packages in the past included ESRI,Manifold, MAPinfo.

Also on the GPS front what are you trying to do with this?? Plotting routes that have been tracked on a handheld or are you trying to make the GIS talk to the GPS?

Friend of mines done quite a bit of development work with .net talking to PostGIS, might be able to pop a few questions?

using the original DWG file or dxf and possibly shp files

either using gps enabled pda or gps unit using waypoints to be then up loaded to main map saved in dwg and printed off or passed to another for their use
