+El Diablo Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hi James, Go here Resources to see the different types of software programs that will help you with PQ's. Also you would be better off posting this in GPS units & Software fourms. El Diablo Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 4. if software is needed what is it called and where can i get it The two most popular are GSAK and EasyGPS. GSAK is much more powerful and runs about $20, while EasyGPS is simple to use and free. You can get GSAK here and EasyGPS here. Quote Link to comment
+Yellow ants Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 GSAK is much more powerful and runs about $20 ... It's actually free but distributed as fully functional nagware. Oh, and eggplant is good if done right - we're having moussaka for dinner Quote Link to comment
