Re: [udig-users] [udig-devel] BeeGIS - GPS Tool - Lon error

Hi Jody,
I have answered taking this to the beegis list only since it was related to gps.
I asked for a nmea file to make some tests.

This anyway raises some questions regarding interest of merging some lists.
Ok, I will stop here and put my question and proposal in a new mail.

Cheers,
Andrea
