I'm curious to about the device and how it works.
Have a spectacle of the spectacle cased GPS made by JTD.

The two USB sockets go to the laptop, one of them for power (the device has no battery) and the other dumps the data to through the serial port (in this case it is usually /dev/ttyUSB0). We have to install and run gpsd, configured to look at the serial port mentioned. You also need either tangogps or Markaarter, or Qlandkarte to view the tracks while mapping. you can add waypoints and take logs and also upload them to openstreetmap.org
Our next trip to mapping is scheduled for 18th of this month. interested people may send an email off the list to me. we can coordinate where to meet etc.
