Memory-Map Navigator
Use USGS & NOAA maps on your PC and Pocket PC
Memory-Map Navigator is a full-featured electronic navigation
package that displays high quality scanned (raster) charts and topographic
maps. It interfaces with a GPS to plot your position in real time on a moving
map display. You can use it to program the GPS with routes and waypoints, and
to download a track log from the GPS. You can print full color, high-resolution
maps with your waypoints, routes and tracks. Pocket PC support is included.
Memory-Map's high performance "QuickChart" scrolling and zooming
algorithms give the user interface a snappy, responsive feel you won't find on
other navigation packages. Powerful new features in the chart management and
route/waypoint editing system, and large toolbar buttons make Memory-Map
Navigator easy to use when you are at sea or on the move.
When used with topo maps or aerial phography with elevation data, the 3D
view gives a stunning interactive visualization of the terrain.
