Web Mapping Illustrated: Using Open Source GIS Toolkits Review by B. Humphrey
Great if you know nothing about free software - otherwise avoid the book...
To be short and to the point... the title basically covers the primary issue I had with the book... I felt most of the book could be summed up in about 20 pages but yet it was still a full book of how to go get a free piece of software, connect a GPS, and chart where you were going...
Note: I was most likely disappointed because I was truly looking for a much more technical discussion on how GPS databases work and how to decode GIS information. In the past when I have prucased books form the publisher they were much more in depth on technical aspects of the systems, data, and so forth. In this case it was a discussion of how to sue free software and a GPS... no truly what I had in mind.
Oh, well... other I'm sure will enjoy it... just didn't fill the bill for me...
