GPS software for PC

[justinsmith]

Hi
I am looking to get some software that I can load on my PC that will allow me to enter my GPS marks & wpt's - I dont really need to download from the GPS unit and not sure how this would work as I dont have a memory card for the unit.

Can anyone recommend a cheap easy to use piece of software?

Thanks.

Mate,

I use the GDM program from Lowrance.

There isnt much in the way of background mapping once you zoom in, but it is useful for managing waypoint names and symbols and for checking internet marks against your actual ones to see whether they are legit or not

Oziexplorer from oziexplorer.com is what I use. Aussie program too from a guy in Brisbane.

I have a Seiwa GPS that came with the boat, its quite and old unit - a 7000c I think,

Mapsource Trip and Waypoint Manager - about $60.

Thanks for all your replies - I will have a look at the suggestions over the next week or so and make a decision.

Thanks again . Justin

you can try easygps, a free program, just google it. Dosen't acutally map, but will allow easy saving and entering of waypoints. I use it for an old garmin gps I have.
