Anyone else notice how cheap technology things have become?

For cheap, look on ebay for a really old model – like a Garmin GPS III or something like that.

I have one. It is several years old. B/W screen. Anchient maps. No navigation guide. Still, it does two things well: Lat and Long. It would probably serve you well on your hike.

It has some nice features, too. You can offload data to a PC, or plug into a serial port on a laptop and superimpose the lat/long in real time on some mapping applications.

They gotta be $50 on ebay.

ubuntu linux is stupid easy to install and run, comes installed with open office and gimp and suduko and mahjong. and terminal server if you need to actually work. (gimp is a great, or nice and capable anyway, image manipulator). try wine (windows emulator) if you need some windows app.

get an ssd (solid state drive). smaller ones are getting cheap, install your os on it and boot up lightning fast.

try ubuntu. dual boot ubuntu/windows. 64 bit version if you have the ram.

You guys ever heard of a Seven and a half minute map?!?!

I hear the batteries never run out on it and it is damn handy for plotting course into and out of an area…

In theory, great. In practice, not enough software for it. My wife likes to edit pictures, etc. Photoshope…

Photoshop=>GIMP..

User interface is a little bit different though. The real advantage that Photoshop has is in handling RAW formats. Some camera manufactures like to license their RAW format. There may be a plug-in to GIMP for specific RAW formats from certain vendors.

Picasa also handles some RAW formats.
