+The Furlows Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Being a travler, I get to go to many other places. Like, lets say The Far east nations. Is there a good program where I can plot my waypoints on a map for that area ether a photo, or tropo map? What is out there that can do this? Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 (edited) I think most Waypoint proggies allow you to import a jpg (or similar) of a map scan or a ariel photo, then "calibrate it" thus showing waypoints and tracks on a piccie I use GPSU from http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ If your waypoints and tracks are in the USA have a look at ExpertGPS from http://www.expertgps.com/ I just stumbled across this package and have to say this is a great piece of SW as it takes your waypoint and tracks and automatically puts them on either a tropological map or Ariel Photo map - downloading the jpg maps on the fly from a server The "downside" for us international users is that the "automatic download service" only covers the USA - I guess this is because of the US gov'ts open stance that maps and arial photos of America are open source and available to the public - all other govertments (it seems) see these things as a source of revenue Edited December 3, 2003 by S&G.Davison Quote Link to comment
