One flaw in deployment is the accuracy of the gps coordinates that you may have for any given find. There are coordinates in MetBul that are accurate within 20 miles or so....thats' a lot of dirt. Any coordinates in MetBul prior to the advent of the GPS system must be considered suspect. -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Michael Blood Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 5:07 PM To: Meteorite List Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] GoogleEarth & GPS in Meteorite Hunting Hi all, I have come to realize there is a crucial tool for meteorite Hunting that I have yet to hear of anyone using: iPad using "Google Earth" with the GPS coordinates. To use this tool in the field, you must have one of the Models with G3 capability. That said, you can not only locate Coordinates easily, you can SEE the area you are searching With great clarity - and also check any "Utube" videos of other Hunts in the given area, and any other information you may Want from the internet WHILE you are in the field, the price Sounds compelling, since I hear the better GPS units start at about $200 and the cheaper ones are at least $100. I have located the cheapest method of purchasing a unit. It goes from $629- with FREE shipping to $829 depending on Gigabytes you Desire, so and have decided to provide a link from my site. However, the best anyone can explain me is the more gigabytes you have the more movies and videos you can STORE on the device, so, personally, I see little to be gained by spending the additional $ for more gigs unless you, personally make a LOT of videos and want all of them on your iPad. Otherwise, any other source can be accessed by the device, so, why store it IN the device? Perhaps I am wrong here, if so, would someone on the list please clarify additional advantages To purchasing massive Gigs on this unit.
