New digital topos are available for the following provinces: - BC - Alberta - Ontario - Quebec - Newfoundland & Labrador These 1:50,000 topo sets are provided on DVD and give complete coverage of the province purchased. They work with FUGAWI GPS Software, which has great Geocaching support for PC, Pocket PC and Palm. All other provinces are coming soon. For more detail see http://www.fugawi.com/docs/maptopocan.html

FUGAWI GPS Software has now added support for LOC files and an interactive search for caches (from www.geocaching.com), which lets users search for caches by a click on a topo map, display their caches on the map and upload them to GPS or Pocket PC or Palm. www.fugawi.com

I just found out that with FUGAWI GPS Software, if you open up any map, select the "?" tool, and click on a spot, a Geocaching submenu appears. Selecting this will provide a list of all the Geocaches near the point clicked on (from Geocaching.com). Also caches can be downloaded (LOC Files) and are automatically imported into FUGAWI, from where one can upload to GPS. They don't seem to be advertising this feature though - its hidden... see: www.fugawi.com - John

FUGAWI GPS Software lets you load raster topographic maps into the iQue and transfer cache (waypoints) back and forth between the PC and the iQue. Almost any raster topographic map can be used, even ones you scan yourself. www.fugawi.com

Just learned that FUGAWI UK now supports the Garmin iQue - you can put full colour UKOS 1:50,000 maps on the Garmin iQue. What's best is FUGAWI are giving the update away FREE to any exisiting FUGAWI UK user! See http://www.fugawi.com/docs/suppupgrades.html

Take a look at FUGAWI UK - it works on the Tungstan as well as earlier Palms and Pocket PC and comes with the UK OS 1:50,000 maps. http://www.fugawi.com/docs/fugawiuk.html quote:Originally posted by The Scout:I've just bought a Palm Tungsten (from Staples, excellent price) and I would like to know what mapping or Geocaching related software can be recommended. (I already use Mobipocket to read the cache download from GC.com)
