data collection from GPS and signal meter

Oct 20, 2004 5:00AM PDT

I'm working on a project that involves a lot of signal strength data collection. I'm looking to get my laptop set up with a GPS receiver and some sort of signal detector/spectrum analyzer, so that at various locations, I can get a signal strength reading, and have the information downloaded directly into my laptop.

Do any of you have any experience with this sort of setup? What kind of equipment should I be looking for? Do these products generally come with good software, or am I going to have to code something myself?

Thanks!
