GPS data Logger / Vehicle Tracker

Hello All
I have been looking to build a project in which a GPS unit will
output NMEA data to logging device and be recorded for later
retrieval / parsing via a computer program. This would obviously be
used to track the vehicle progress and position over time (days).
I noted that several other people have queried John Williams in
regards to his aerogps program and modifing it for the above stated
purpose.
Some things I have gleaned from the messages
1. The BS2P is the most appropriate stamp to use as it can access
NMEA data most easilyf.
2. The Garmin has been successfully interfaced, however, many
people want to make this unit with a smaller size footprint by using
a dedicated GPS module.
3. There needs to be an avenue to increase the available memory
size and therefore increase the length of possible logging.
So, there seem to be lots of people working towards this end but few
websites or messages that have posted results for the group. Seems
like Mike Mocenter is farthest along on this project with lots of
others following suit. Anyone have this one completed yet or willing
to share your successes?

Why using Garmin GPS, wouldn't be cheapeast to use m12+oncore GPS from MOTOROLA,
does anybody try something like making a RC chopper fly from poin a to point b
by itself (autonomous heli)
would it work with a BS2P
just asking so I could start that project
thank
I just love mondays alot of interesting mails to read in my box

Since the aerogps program is for NMEA it will work with most GPS
units. I only had to make minor changes for an Motorola Encore OEM.
mount on our model airplanes. Yes, there are cheaper ways to go and the code
we worked should be fine -- other than one line of Garmin-specific.

Will using the BS2pe allow for the aerogps code to be moded for time and
date storage? Still would like to see a rev 1 of your code to add this
feature
thanks
