[Kde-imaging] Xmas pressies - anyone recommend a good GPS device?

[Julien Narboux]

Hi,

Sorry if it is a little bit off topic. I got the Wintec WBT-100. It 
works perfectly under Linux and MacOSx using gpsbabel.

I wrote a small tutorial about how it can be used using linux:
http://www4.in.tum.de/~narboux/misc/wintec.html

If I find time I would like to add information about geolocalisation 
using the kipi plugins. What is the conclusion of the discussion about a 
Digikam / Kipi wiki ?

Best wishes,

Julien
