<br>engineering. It's revolutionising the field; even whilst itself being<br>revolutionised by the likes of Google Earth & web mapping. I offer a<br>tour of the GIS landscape - the whats, the whos & the whys. A vaguely
<br>sciency bit about the workings of GPS, with pictures. Demos of Free/Open<br>Source GIS & satellite navigation (satnav) software. A rundown of<br>geospatial data sources, free as in beer and otherwise. Finally a pitch
<br>for OpenStreetMap, a project I'm involved with."<br><br>Go's<br>1. Dave Mmmmaaaarrrlley<br>2. Ron<br>3. Jen</blockquote>
