From: Jan de Bree on 8 Mar 2006 23:30 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? :-) Jan Daphne Eze wrote: > I;m looking for software that will recieve data from a GPS unit and > transfer the display of the GPS to the computer screen. > > Does anyone know of something loke this? > > Thanks > Daphne >
From: Jast on 9 Mar 2006 02:28 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.

From: Daphne Eze on 9 Mar 2006 12:17 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?
