WARNING |
Failure
to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations
could result in an accident or collision resulting in death
or serious injury. When navigating, carefully compare
information displayed on the GPS to all available navigation
sources, including information from visual sightings, and
maps.
Use the GPS only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to
use the GPS for any purpose requiring precise measurement of
direction, distance, location, or topography. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies or questions before
continuing navigation.
Use the
GPS only to facilitate, not to replace, the use of
authorized government charts. Official government charts and
notices to mariners contain all information needed to
navigate safely.
The United States government operates the Global Positioning
System (GPS), which is solely responsible for its accuracy
and maintenance. The government's system is subject to
changes, which could affect the accuracy and performance of
all GPS equipment. Any navigation device can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe. |
I currently use the following units.

My Favorite and most used Program:
EXPERT GPS
.
I have been using his program since the 90's and have watched it
evolve over the years. I consider it the best all around gps
mapping program available without having to spend hundreds of dollars. A 30 day Trial version is available at their
website.
I am not associated with EXPERTgps. I
just highly recommend you try it.
TopoGraphic Forum a support and question forum for
ExpertGPS, EasyGPS and GeoBuddy users. Also has sections on the GPS
