I want to take an Android tablet and use it with a GPS to follow my position on topo maps. I HATE Apple, so don't even go there.
Anybody doing this? I saw somewhere that Trimble had a good app, but later I saw that they may have dropped it or gone out of business. I'm not particularly interested in turn by turn directions but want to be able to use images like Google Earth and see where I am and where I have been.
I have been investigating doing this on a Raspberry PI with a color touch screen, using some of the GIS libraries available, but I really don't have the time to write it OK, it is above my pay grade, but I hope to go there, someday... :)
