    Enough... I want 5hz

    Is anyone else getting tired of waiting for a pc based gps application to support 5hz updating?

    Come on.... This should finally be included in all the software out there.

    1hz

    GPS's sent out typical 1 location (till 3 lines of asci text : possition, speed, sat info, ...) per second.

    Serial speed off a GPS is only 2400, doesn't permit more data in a second.

    So it's not due to the software but to the hardware (and it need for all vendors to be the same)

    They make 5Hz GPS no problem. Thing is nobody need that. Even car manufacturers use 1Hz GPS because it is cheap. They make the images smooth by using speed sensors and turn sensors as well which is all doable via the PC, but then the software would need to support it. And I am sure PC navigation software is mostly used by people who just lug a laptop in there car when driving cross country, not for people with dedicated carpcs, so hooking up a gps puck, speed sensor, turning sensor is a lot more for the average joe, then plug-n-go usb puck.

    I want a billion dollars in small, unmarked, non-sequential U.S. bills.

    Looks like we're both wanting, aren't we?
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    I think you mean Canadian bills. They are worth more now.

    But we dont have a GBP key on our keyboards.

    And on a laptop without a numpad, ascii codes are of little help.

    And why is it the british pound? Shouldn't it be the "british kilogram"? GBKG!

    A billion of anything except maybe Mexican Pesos or Italian Lira.

    Thank goodness US currency isn't the complete worst on the planet.

    Yeah they have used euros for a few years. 2002/2003 I think.

    But the Venezuelan Bolivar is around 1usd to 2500 bolivar.

    I think the turkish lira (old style) used to be 1:1000000 or even 1:1500000
