>>>Thanks for the response. It won't be free because I don't have street addresses :(

>>>I am looking for a device that will store the lat/long of desired places. At the office the stored values will be extracted and placed in a table, later to be included in a URL to get a Google map with location highlighted. Google maps of Panama don't have the name of all streets, but show enough detail to find the place.
>>>
>>>So far the devices I find are oriented to help your driving in a well mapped conutry such as Canada, US etc. I need something more basic that shows latitude and longitude with enough precision.
>>
>>We use GPS chips and GPS antennas. We put these chips on computer boards and incorporate them into small computers that broadcast the current position of the computer to our website. The programs that broadcast the GPS coordinates are written in Foxpro. We sell these to transport companies. But that would be too expensive for you. Other than making one for your needs (or having one made for you), you can also get a Blackberry that has a built in GPS.

>Thank you Mike, John and Agnes. The Garmin eTrex Venture HC High-Intensity Color Mapping Handheld GPS was recommended by the site administrator of http://www.gpsreview.net/forums and I am going to take his word that it fits my requirements.

>Next step, mplement the VFP form that will display the map. For that I'll help myself with John's code and may be back for more help. I'll be using dummy coordinates while the GPS unit arrives.

>Thanks to all.
