GPS Software for Garmin 12

[whiteman]

Is anyone using quality software to log waypoints? If so, is it freeware? Can you print a map? Any other useful features?

I have a Garmin 12 so it needs to be compatible with this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Suggest you have a look at Oziexplorer #http://www.oziexplorer.com developed by Des Newman in Brisbane.

I use it in conjunction with my GPS12, great software. You can import maps and log way points, plot routes, etc, etc.

You can download a demo copy from the website.

A free program available for downloading and uploading your waypoints is Waypoint+ you can get it from http://www.tapr.org/~kh2z/Waypoint/

You will need the date lead to go from your GPS to your computer, you can buy these for anywhere from $50 to $80 or you can buy the plug for $5.00 and make your own.

Another freeware waypoint management is http://www.easygps.com

There are others (some are freeware others buyware) but for simply waypoint management (upload/download) the Waypoint+ works as does EasyGPS.

Cheers, Kerry.
