Hi Frank,
...this thread soon will consist of a cascade of
yesnomaybemabenotitdepends answers :::))))
First of all - to seperate me from for example Matti...
I am the bloodiest beginner according this topic as one can imagine...
;)
My first idea was: Combine a GPS receiver chip ("Ultimate GPS" by
Adafruit available via www.exp-tech.de for example) with a beaglebone
black.
Second idea was: This will result in a lot of really naked
coordinates.
Third idea was: MAPS!
Fourth idea was: I dont like Google Maps...use OSM.
This results in a download impulse...and the smallest thing I could
find was the data of EUROPE.
...download time more than two days result in the problems I already
described.
Joost was so kind to offer help (THX, Joost! :)
But in the meanwhile I found a program called viking, which seems to
cache data for offline browsing and automates the download process:
It simply download the data to which area one goes to.
I am still waiting for my parcel to arrive and hopefully I soon will
be able to combine the beaglebone black with the GPS so I will get
data and check whether viking is able to use them.
If so, everything is fine and I dont need to directly download data.
We will see...fingers crossed.
Best regards,
mcc
