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. Windows Mobile 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 photography with elevation data, the 3D view gives a stunning interactive visualization of the terrain.
