Free Gps Software
By Anne King, Fri Dec 9th
I took a look at some of the online offers for free GPS softwareand found, like many "free" offers there were often limits andprovisos involved. Often the freeware is a scaled--down versionof purchasable products. Sometimes the free product hasrestricted functionality with features disabled, other productsare trial--based and are disabled after a certain time (hours ordays or use). An example of limited free GPS software can be found at GPSUtility. The downloadable freeware is limited 100 waypoints and500 track points. (There are 65,000 of each in the registeredversion of their program.) The free program gives you a goodopportunity to try before you buy, and this is the benefit ofmost free programs. There are online sites that list various free GPS software anddescribe how to use the programs after you download them. Oftenindividuals who have used the programs themselves develop thesites. These are great because they give you an unbiasedinterpretation of the benefits and disadvantages of the programsbefore you use them.
Using free GPS software you can download programs that allow youto retrieve and display aerial photos, topographical maps, USGSlandmarks. There are programs available that allow you importscanned images and add latitude and longitude points and otherdata. Free GPS software downloads are available for PDA units that arecapable of communication with GPS receivers. With thesedownloads you can have a useful navigation assistant, locationdatabase manager, and GPS data converter. Programs to manage GPS waypoint and route files are availablefor both PC and Mac users. The waypoints and route files can besaved or converted to various formats used by other mappingprograms. If you need to transfer information to and from your GPSreceiver
and your home computer or laptop there are several freeprograms that allow you to do so. There are also programs thatallow Garmin GPS receivers to "talk" to one another. Many of theprograms listed here are directed at the hiking/trekkercommunity, but there are also free programs available for autoGPS systems and marine navigational systems. I found a couple ofmarine navigation programs that allow you to download nauticalcharts and plotters. There are free GPS software programs that allow you to downloadstreet maps that might not be included in your auto--navigationsystem. If you intend downloading in--vehicle software, makesure that it has audio capacity, an essential safety factor formotorists. One such program offers data for several countrieswith voice guidance in twelve languages. Free GPS software is also available for downloading to your cellphone. This is mostly tracking software and can be phonespecific. You might want to check with your carrier beforedownloading anything to your cell phone to make sure that itdoes not incur extra charges. As satellites are constantly moving, it is helpful to know theoptimal time for data collection in your area. There is free GPSsoftware that includes an almanac to let you know theavailability of satellites at any given time. Some of the free GPS software is brand specific. Programsdesigned for a Garmin receiver may not work for a Magellan, socheck out the specifications carefully, especially if you intendpurchasing a registered version after your trial period. Othersoftware works with most brands.
