OT GPS related progs - PC Plus magazine

[+Team Ballibeg]

The current edition of PC Plus (October 2006!) issue 247 has a few GPS

related programs on the cover DVD which may be of interest to some.....

 

(NB I think they also do a version with a cover CD, the programs may or

may not be on that, take care)

I have often found in the past that cover disk programs can be downloaded for free anyway. It may be worth checking if there is anything specific that people are considering buying this magazine to get.

 

 

That said, if there is something special on this disk that cannot be got for free and is worth having please let us know.

It may be free, but the maps are not, and there are only maps for 4 UK cities. Not sure how else it can be used.
