Hi all,

I support the idea of a GPS stamp in Event & Tracker capture, as it's 1) a
way to assure quality of data, and 2) it minimizes effort on the person
collecting data.

A program setting would be great. I can imagine that in some cases we'd
want both the automatic GPS coordinates AND user-initiated coordinates, but
for now I'd be very happy with either one or the other, not necessarily
both.

So that's a +1 from the PSI end.

Bram
