<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am involved in a project to log boats that visit reefs off
the coast of SE Florida. This will involve nine helicopter flights over the
course of a year. Our current plan is to use equipment/techniques that are
familiar to us based on our past projects. However, we are interested to see if
innovative and new ways (to us, anyway) to do the work exist. Presently, we
plan to use a GPS enabled data logger (e.g., TDS Recon) connected to a laser
rangefinder to record boat locations and their basic characteristics, using
ArcPad or SoloField. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>New ideas we are thinking about, but have never employed: <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><![endif]>We
would like to photograph each boat as we log it and automatically attach the
photograph as an attribute of the logged feature (boat). I.e., the camera would
be connected to the data logger. Has anyone done this? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;

style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span><![endif]>We
were wondering whether we could use a GPS enabled tablet PC connected to the
laser rangefinder and camera to log the boats (and take pictures of each boat).
