Twine, GIS/GPS/Garmont handheld used to sense and log site information
& create database
This has been discussed here before but a friend on FB commented on the
Twine device which prompted me to suggest other uses for this. [this is
just a quickie and needs editing, will do so later]

Very nice. I would like to have one that could bring weather data to my
laptop plus digital camera images of weather conditions outside, i.e.
sunny/cloudy/mixed to log along with other climatic conditions each day
- here's a good one - a GIS system _ Garmont handheld I could use to do
a farm site inventory to log into some kind of database on my laptop,
garden by garden, recording crop changes year round plus digital images
plus weather data including microclimate info per garden...any and all
pertinent data about each garden site logged via GIS recording GPS data
for each garden; site conditions, lay of the land, i.e. elevations,
drainage, soil moisture, all logged into the database. I have about 4.5
acres laid out in a system of small gardens, each draining into the
other with outflow going to any of three ponds with aguaculture systems.
more later on this is you're interested....I wounder how Twines and
GIS/GPS could be used together.
