WNC Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Looking to buy a good version of Topomap software for the computer that is State specific (NC) and usable with a Mag 315 GPS. Maybe something I can input a UTM on the computer and then download it into the GPS. I'm new to this GPS thing after using a map and compass all this time, so bear with the stupid questions...lol Thanks Folks Quote Link to comment
Idaho Ron Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I have the NG topo gps. I use it for both lat/long wgs84 and utm nad27. I have found that when I load tracks onto the topo in Nad 27 utm the easting is off a little. If I enter the track in wgs84 lat/long then let the topo convert it back to UTM 27 it is on the money. It is a great program I think. Ron Quote Link to comment
OFF RODE Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Ill second the NG Topo! recomendation. Ive used it here in Az for 3 years and find it excellent for backcountry navigation...not real good in the cities but then it isnt meant for that. I use it for live tracking with a Garmin 3+ in the Jeep when offroading and find it very accurate.
