Mapping software????

[Guest 300mag]

Do you have any suggestions on any mapping software.Since i live in Canada they aren't too easy to find.Most of them include usgs maps and these are useless to me.Does someone know of any programs that as Canadian maps or at least some prog..that i could use by scanning and using my own maps and then download all my different waypoints etc...

Thanks Dan

Also do you know if they are compatible with lowrance gm100

Not quite sure what you're after - but try GPS Utility at www.gpsu.co.uk - it allows you to scan in topo maps and use them as a base from which to calculate wapoints and routes (it does a lot more too).

You don't have to scan maps yourself. You can buy Topo maps of Canada on CD rom. Do a search on the net and you'll find a few sources.
