David,

I think the Delorme BlueLogger has been discontinued.  See the links below.

Hi David,

I've used Trimble GPS equipment, but not the Delorme Bluelogger.
Usually, for mapping grade equipment, the vendor will agree to do a demo
of the equipment and post processing software to see if this is
something that would work for you.  I would definitely perform some
tests on the equipment in an area similar to where you will be recording
points.  If there is any tree cover, buildings, etc.  Best case scenario
would be to test the equipment in your botanical garden.  Here are a few
links I found that may help you:

Hope this helps!

Has anybody on this list had experience using high-accuracy GPS? I am
involved in a GIS project with my local botanical garden, which requires
mapping individual plants with sub-meter accuracy. Most systems that do
this seem to cost upwards of $10,000, which is beyond our reach. I
stumbled across some information about a DeLorme product called Blue
Logger GPS, which claims to do this for about $1000. Has anybody had
success using this system, or have other suggestions for low-cost,
high-accuracy GPS?
