Mapping trails with GPS

[Jimmy]

Xiaoding: I've added that functionality now... click on the map, and it
will show the coordinates (and a marker on the map to remind you of
where you clicked)

Yes, its from the software...I don't recall what the program was, that was
a few years back.

So does TopoFusion: various rez's, any area any time. It also allows for
building/storing/displaying GPS coordinate-based routes - either from uploads
from a GPS device, or just point-and-click on the screen.

Topofusion looks great but I am so frustrated as I can't get it to run on my
system, am awaiting the new relaese to see if the bugs get fixed.

it's a newly formatted, XP home, 1.7ghz chip, 512 RAM, 80 mb hard drive,
good video card etc. It's some weird bug thing and I've been talking to the
guys on the support board about what's going on. I get an error screen when
I try to download data from my garmin and the program locks up. I've got
screen shots loaded on the topofusion support board.

How old is your PC? What OS? What kind of problems?

I thought mine was pretty hot until I started using the bottom-of-the-line basic
business model that one of my clients bought for me to use at their site.

A week later, I built myself a new PC and retired what I then realized was my
dinosaur.
