3 Things

[Brad.Turnbough]

1) Does anyone have any experience with gpx files and garmin gps
units? Are there open source apps / map data solutions out there?

2) Can someone recommend an app that will allow me to set up a
wardriving rig? I'd also like to pull the data off of my GPS unit
(waypoints, points of interest, previously traveled tracks)

3) Does anyone have any experience with source control solutions? I
am in need of a source control solution to use for my scripts /
programs here at work.

Thanks,

Brad

For 3) I would recommend mercurial. There are detailed guides here:

Brad,

I download from my garmins with something like

gpsbabel -w -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o csv -F ./Desktop/wayp.txt

-t trak.txt

I create gpx files for others like this one:

I'm using subversion and the free subversion server at xp-dev.com
along with VisulaSVN (Since we use Visual Studio). I switched from MS
SourceSafe because SourceSafe was not as easy for web access and
more. In-house servers are pretty easy to setup too.

Have no experience as of yet, but I do have an interest in gps data
collection. Let us know what you find out here.

Also have not worked with this problem domain. Did a quick google and
found:
http://www.wardrive.net/wardriving/faq

It mentions the NetStumbler. Are you familiar with that utility? If
that doesn't work for you I may have an alternative...

The three source control solutions that are most used (and are also open
source) are CVS (oldest), Subversion (next gen of CVS), and GIT (the
upcoming challenger).

I use Subversion. You can get it from:
http://subversion.tigris.org/

You may already have the client installed. Try typing:
svn help

BTW, Brad are you familiar with any programing languages?
