Rudedawg Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 OK.. I have not been at this to long but I am learning.. One thing I have tried and tried is to find a place on the net or some software that I can input the North and West Waypoints and it will bring up a map that will show me where that location is. One of the reasons I want this software or link... Is I am planning a set of caches that will have certain coordinates. Also I want to put together a multi Cache that also will fall alone a set of coordinates also. Now.. I’m not sure if I’m looking for the wrong thing or even if what I am working on is available. However I figured you guys would know enough to at least point me in the right direction. Thank You for any help you can give me.. Quote Link to comment
+Prime Suspect Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Rand McNally will let you enter in coordinates. Also you can plot multiple points on a topo or photo image at LostOutdoors.com. Quote Link to comment

+bons Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I'm using an old copy of Microsoft Streets and Trips. According to froogle.com you can get an old version for under $20. You may be able to find it for less. I have to convert formats from DD MM.MMM to DD.DDDDD in order to do a "find" but I can live with that. (mm.mmm/60 = .ddddddd) Quote Link to comment
+LV Hiker Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 also might try topozone.com Quote Link to comment
WH Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 I just recently purchased National Geogrpaphon Backroads Explorer TOPO software. The program gives you detailed topographic and street maps for all 50 states. You can plot waypoints, routes and download them into your GPS directly. Quote Link to comment

+SonicFox Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Great Question and even better answers! I have RM, but this will give me some other options to look into. SonicFox Quote Link to comment
+Joe Smith Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Quakemap is a cool program but i'm not sure if it will work for what you want. the ones everyone else said should do you well. At Sam's club (At least the one in Pittsburgh) they have Microsoft Streets and Trips 2004 for $22 I may pick it up for the price but so far i have never needed it. Quote Link to comment
