Thinkvantage GPS : what program will you use it with?

Dear all,

calling to all Thinkpad WWAN user here. What would you use your GPS enabled thinkpad for? Mine using just a standard Thinkvantage Maps, please see below :



Mostly i use for 3G Connection only. It is a nice feature though.

 

Are you asking this question out of curiosity or want to decide on something to do with the GPS feature?

A lot of civil engineering, mining, land surveying and geologist may use the GPS for GIS (Geological information systems) purposes.

Geographic information system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The GPS systems on the laptop are used in conjunction with more accurate GPS systems, laser rangefinder, etc.

I use it for Google map and do some simple site surveying work for property development. Most people i know just play it for couple of days and forget about it, just like using the various GPS enabled mobile phones.

 

Can we use it for geotagging pictures? What program to use?

 

Google map should have geotagging feature.

 

Thinkvantage Maps = Google maps

You can use most of GPS software. In program you must select com-port and rate.

Most of software use NMEA_0183 protocol.

 

I use MS Streets and Trips and Garmin PC.

 

Thank you all for the inputs. I will try to google it. Any further suggestion are welcome.
