comment Why should a user choose to use open source software in their remote sensing research?
I used FOSS software in my academic project two years ago for the reasons outlined above. Above all I did not want to use pirated software! (Universities don't issue free student licenses here). I always feel proud to say my research was accomplished with 100% FOSS4G applications.

comment How can I enable Shapefile GUI Loader in pgadmin3?
I faced the same issue with the plugin on Ubuntu 12.04. Followed similar steps outline above except for different file paths. I had to set PGBINDIR environment variable as well. I have explained the steps I followed in my blog post: staygeo.com/2013/05/enabling-postgis-shapefile-and-dbf.html

comment A machine to measure latitude to 6 decimal places of a degree
Tom, the machine you are referring to is called a GPS. This question is possibly a duplicate here, as there are already questions seeking information about GPS and accuracy - gis.stackexchange.com/questions/43617/…; gis.stackexchange.com/questions/3414/…

I do not have ArcGIS/ERDAS on my computer. If I had them I would have given you the solution with screenshots. Also I could not get ERDAS Help online to provide you the instructions.

comment Best handheld GPS unit under $500?
I would like you to check out Trimble Store - store.trimble.com. I could not find a good handheld under $500 there but under $1000 you may be able to get some.
