| | | I use my pocket PC as a GPS, mapping system, and for notes and audio recordings. I try not to take it anywhere that I think it might get damaged or wet, so it's not a regular part of my gear. I also use a police scanner frequently, with either a single earbud or a pair of headphones and a splitter to a music player (so I can listen to both at the same time). I'm currently trying to buy an oxygen / explosive gas tester for exploring mines, there's a few around here that I know for a fact have bad air, and I don't want to use the old candle test if there's methane too. I can't think of any other gadgets I've used, just a few that I thought about but never got around to setting up. I wanted to rig a motion sensor switch to a camcorder and hide it near a combination lock, but I later found a better way to get the combo. I've considered RC-car cameras, it looks like there's a new one out now with two-way audio and a movable camera, too bad it's $200

| | | I use my iPAQ with the gps attachment some times aswell, usuallly depends on where im going and the availablility of maps/ arieal shots.
as for the remote controled car/camera, they are easy to build. i just took my remote controled truck and mounted my wireless x10 to it. dosnt haev AMAZING range because its wireless but it works, idealy, i would have a tethered one do go through tight places, that may be a waste of time/dead end drain/sewer... why break my back? lol
"I wanted to rig a motion sensor switch to a camcorder and hide it near a combination lock, but I later found a better way to get the combo." how did you do that?
ofberenonehand, how does this digicam detect infrared sensors?

| | | Yeah, check eBay for the CF GPS's. I paid $100USD for one with an external antenna, PCMCIA adapter, and some extras, but I think they're down around $50 now. I got that O2 sensor, but it's a bit flakey. I think the Canary (or a mouse, etc) would work better. I also talked to a geologist about testing for bad air, he said unless it's a coal mine you're probably safe using the candle test. The main danger is just lack of oxygen from rust reactions in rails, tools, metal veins, etc. I don't know what gas byproduct replaces the oxygen, but it's not explosive.
