I will be going to Afghanistan soon and want to know if any service member has used their personal GPS without buying new map software. All I need is know if it will still give me the proper UTM grid coordinance when I use it.
I have a Garmin BlueLogger GPS that i used with the Street Atlas Software on a PC. I have a MacBook now running OS X. Is there any mapping/nav software for my mac that will work with the GPS signal from that device?
I have a Garmin i3 that is currently running City Navigator v.8. An update is available for $75 to City Navigator 2008. Is there any reason why I can’t continue to run v.8 for the life of this i3?
I already have EasyGPS for transfering waypoints but am looking for a more rebust mapping tool where I can create waypoints on a USGS map… One that I can use to print for my trip as well as download waypoints from for uploading to my Garmin eTrex…
Any products work better than others? National Geographic (California), Delorme?, ExpertGPS… Do the smaller software packages require scans of USGS maps?
Maybe a side question,,, The best software for integrating geo-encoded tiffs (pic files) so that I can plot way points.
There has to be a way to do plot a trip from home, print the map, upload the waypoints to the GPS and gooo…
