Today

10:20pm JST Monday 13 September 2004

Today I did a significant amount of research on GPS stuff and I sorta came up with a possible path by which I can get my track online, but, later in the day, I had problem getting the latter part to actually work on my computer. Maybe it's just a Mac thing, but I have never heard of .svg files (by Adobe), which are some sort of manipulateable image files that are produced by gpsvisualizer.com.

Today I basically learned there are two types of GPS data formats that come from the GPS to a computer or some such: realtime and not realtime. I'm currently looking into the non-realtime version because that's what I'll be allowed to do across China. Once I get it working, I may look into the realtime stuff for once I'm in Europe; we'll see how it goes.

Uuhhmm, so I'm still at a bit of a blockade ((HAHAHAHA I just had a memory of my idea of Homework Blockade, which I scheduled into my day planner about 3 times a week (during my college days) and it was supposed to mean I couldn't do anything until all my homework was done. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!)) about what type of software I can use on my Mac and online to get scaleable maps drawn. Hmm.
