Yes. But I can't find it right now.
If I was a little more organized it would be okay.

Look through these:

If you do not get an answer I'll search more.
It would help if you tell us the make of the GPS unit.
(e.g. I have a Magellan)

Hi Daphne,
To send and receive waypoints I use GPS TrackMaker http://www.gpstm.com/
To transfer maps you may need the map software that is made by the
manufacturer of the GPS (Mapsend for Magellan.

You have a GPS on your bike?

Yeah I use GPS Trackmaker as well. It is an excellent program and the
latest version allows you to save your files as .gpx and also export
directly to google earth where you can play your journey, ie it animates
your tracklog which is very cool.

It also allows you to open up any point in google maps on the net.

Otherwise you can also use g7towin which downloads gps data and saves in
a large number of formats.

Thanks everyone. I have a client that has a Lowrance globalmap100. He
wants the screen that you see on your GPS transfered to the laptop so
that it is biger and easier to see. From what I've read it doesn't work
that way. If I understand it correctly you can download way points and
routes etc. but not have a live feed of the information from the GPS to
the laptop. is this correct?

Cheers
Daphne

I've downloaded GPS Trackmaker and tried it on my computer which is
connected to the internet all the time. I really liked it. It did
exactly what I wanted. The problem came when I tried to install it on a
computer that is not on the internet. It wanted to connect to the
internet to install. Does anyone know where I could get the full install
file for offline installation?

Thanks
Daphne

I don't know what's more pathetic, Jack Abramoff's sleaze or Republican
paralysis in the face of it. Abramoff walks out of a D.C. courthouse in
his pseudo-Hasidic homburg, and all that leading Republicans can do is
promise to return his money and remind everyone that some Democrats are
involved in the scandal, too.

That's a great G.O.P. talking point: some Democrats are so sleazy, they
get involved with the likes of us.

I figured it out. Got it installed. I quite like the progam.

Is there someplace online you can type in a land description...such as NW
quarter of SW quarter blah blah blah...and get returned to you the GPS
points to find the corners of the property?

That looks nice, is there one for the UK?

OT: Another web site is www.motionbased.com which will take your
tracks and give you back a Google Earth file that you can map you trip
on Google's neat earth program.

They favor Garmin over other brands of GPS, but it's still usable.
