Hi,
I have been a user of Udig for approximately a year and a half. I use the program for visualization and management of archaeological data and projects, as well as navigation in the field.
I recently got a new field computer and downloaded Udig 1.4.0, not the newer version. I had heard there were some issues, and I wanted to ask some questions: what are some of the perks of using the newest version? Are there any problems with using the BeeGIS plugin for in-field navigation?
I installed Udig 1.4.0, started to make a map, and then realized that the toolbar didn't show the nav buttons. I realized I needed to add a plug in. I knew it was BeeGIS because the old computer had that software on the desktop and I never knew what on earth it was there for (it was a company computer that was set up by the IT guy). So I searched for BeeGIS, downloaded the plug in, and figured out where to put it (C:\Program Files (x86)\uDig\1.4.0\udig\plugins), and bam: I now have in-field navigation using GPS. Despite the fact that I am no IT expert, it was easy.
Best,
Desert Archaeologist
