Yesterday I get ready to cruise/GPS a tract of timber. I turn on my PDA and GPS. I execute the program on the PDA and this program turns on and then shuts itself down. I try again and the executable program is gone and the files under that program directory have fluctuating file sizes. I reboot, doesn't help. I come home delete and reinstall, same thing. I call the software vendor and he has the same thing happen to him, but on 3 different PD's.
I don't really know what is going on, almost like a software time bomb or something.

Time to crack out the old map and compass
Are you a consulting forester or a buyer for a mill? |

I have always done cruises by hand. I never trusted my field computers. Is your company looking for a buyer in upstate NY by any chance? Maybe a remote log yard? |

The government is using your GPS device as an interface for their GPS satellites to hack into your PDA and steal your software. I say lock up your dog and line all the exterior walls inside your house with sandbags.

As for the field computer, it increases my productivity by 30% and I can give numbers to landowners on site. I go around GPS the tract, I then can generate my cruise grid, setup cruise specs and use realtime GPS to guide me to the plots, end of the day I have the cruise numbers needed to negotiate a price to landowners. Being able to use color IR photo's to see were you are and being able to use GIS in the field is a major ++ as well. It is basicly GPS/GIS and timber inventory software all rolled into one. Once you start using it, you will never want to go back to the old way. |
