+lthaus Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Howdy.. I have searched and found many good recomendations for Software, but I don't seem to have found an opinion on which of these you all like best. Help me out here.. If I'm going to spend $0-$100 which would you buy.. Or like best.. (BTW.. I would rather Not spend a more then 50-60) Thanks You all!! Happy Hunting. Quote
+DustyJacket Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 For caching, I use ExpertGPS. To add detailed maps to my GPSr, I use MapSend Topo. For doing topo maps in Missouri, I use National Geographic TOPO. It all depends what you want to do with it..... DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote
+jonboy Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 I also use Expert GPS and TOPO!, but I would also recommend becoming a Premium member, not only to support the website, but also to get pocket queries. I have pocket queries to give me the 300 nearest caches I need, which I then download to Expert GPS. Expert GPS only gives you maps with one cache on it, I want a map with all the caches I need on it. I download the waypoints from Expert GPS to my GPS and then download from the GPS to TOPO! I have created custom maps on TOPO! with all the hiking trails shown, so that I can print out a map with the trails and the caches shown on a USGS topo map. Quote
+DustyJacket Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 You can EXPORT a .tga file from ExpertGPS and import that into TOPO. Much easier and faster than using the GPS twice. ExpertGPS shows me ALL caches on a map, not just one. I must not have understood your statement. DustyJacket Not all those that wander are lost. But in my case... Quote
+SearchRescueDog Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 I find that using a combination of TOPO and MapTech works well. Quote
+dino_hunters Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Expert gps will make a map with hundreds (or more) caches and waypoints on it. I do it all the time. Just select "Show all waypoints" from the menu. Quote
