  1. Hi NG

    I know this must have been asked (I have done a search on
    google but only a couple of threads)

    Which is the best one at the moment. I want to printt maps
    and upload to my garmin etrex.

    Also where is the cheapest to buy from ?

    Thanks in advance Steve

    My personal conclusions from asking this question a cuppla
    weeks ago are;

    1. Fugawi
    2. Memory Map
    3. Anquet

    1 & 2 handle GPS data well (designed for), 1 is
    [considerably] cheaper than 2. 3's GPS tools are rudimentary
    in comparison.

    Online, from Fugawi (priced in USD)

  4. I am using a piece of shareware called oziexplorer. This
    allows you to use scanned in maps and plot your own tracks,
    waypoints etc. Then you can print out the map with the track
    painted on it. Oziexplorer has the interface to upload the
    track and Waypoints to your GPS

    This is a much cheaper method but you do not get the 3D
    effects that one reputedly does from memory map and Anquet.

    Oziexplorer is available as a trial from www.oziexplorer.com

    Unfortunately the review does not include Fugawi. I have
    been using FugawiUK with my Geko 201 and find it easy to
    use. My main consideration when choosing the software was
    cost. I bought FugawiUK South for £79.99 with free postage
    from gps4less.co.ukfugawiuk.htm
