194 Part III — <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Hacking</strong><br />

In addition, if you are interested in programming GPS applications, you should go right to the<br />

source for good information: www.ngs.noaa.gov/gps-toolbox/.<br />

This site has some fantastic algorithms and code samples to help you make the most of the<br />

GPS data that will flow into your applications.<br />

Summary<br />

This chapter has covered what you need to know about data, including how to use and store<br />

the data on your GPS. The data can either be data that you’ve collected while using the GPS<br />

outdoors or data that you’ve created using applications for uploading to your GPS before you<br />

set off on your journey. You looked at two applications that you can use to download the data,<br />

examine it, edit it, and upload it to your GPS. You also looked at how you can create new data<br />

for upload. These applications also give you the capability to download the data from your GPS<br />

for storage on your PC, enabling you to free the memory on your GPS for more data collection.<br />

You also learned about some other possible uses for the data that your GPS outputs, how you<br />

can add waypoint information to digital photographs, how to plot lightning strikes, as well as<br />

applications that you can use to program GPS-enabled applications of your own.<br />

No matter what form your interest in GPS takes, this chapter will have something of interest<br />

to you.
