What exactly do you need? Long and lat for a few intersections or something more detailed? I have a NMEA capable GPS, plenty of linux knowledge, two empegs, and I really want to see this project happen. I am not particularly familiar with mapping software and I can't really do much with C code beyond compiling it, other than that just let me know what you need.

Okay, what I was looking for is a five minute long (or longer) ascii log of NMEA sentences which are "recorded" while you drive the car (and later can tell the city and some street names). The idea is that I could use the log file as an input to the navigation software so that it simulates the situation of driving in the US. That way I would have a chance to test something here without going to the US for gathering the GPS data .

If you have a laptop, it probably is easist to plug the GPS receiver to the laptop, open a terminal program and save the output to an ascii text file. It is also possible to do with empeg, but then it requires a software to do the logging and saving it into a disk and a way to launch the program in car.

Note: According to the Tiger tech spec, the data is in North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), so the GPS receiver should be set to the same datum.
