EasyGPS - is the fast and easy way to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your computer and your Garmin, Magellan, or Lowrance GPS. EasyGPS lists all of your waypoints on the left side of the screen, and shows a plot of your GPS data on the right. Use EasyGPS to back up and organize your GPS data, print maps, or load new waypoints onto your GPS for your next hike or geocaching adventure.EasyGPS works with every popular handheld GPS receiver, and it is 100% FREE!
NOTE! You'll need all three of these for the best use of this program.

Easy MPS-EasyMPS allows the user to import several .loc, .gpx and .mps files alongside each other, then export them as a single .mps or .loc file.
Thus EasyMPS acts as either a file merger, or a file converter, or both!
Time, effort and bother are all saved!
Works with many programs including EasyGPS.

Sea Clear II-SeaClear is a PC based chart plotter for Windows 2000/XP/NT/95/98/ME. With a GPS connected it displays the current position, speed, heading and other data on the screen. The chart is repositioned and new charts are loaded automatically as needed. Tracks may be saved to file for later reviewing and log book entries can be manually and automatically entered. Unlimited number of routes and waypoints can be created and used to assist the navigation. The screen area for charts is maximized with most functions accessed with the right mouse button. Zooming is provided with support for IntelliMouse wheel. SeaClear is created for nautical navigation but can probably be used for other navigation needs.

Quake Map-QuakeMap is designed for ease of use. It features intuitive user interface, supports most popular Garmin and Magellan receivers, reads and writes GPX files and makes viewing of your GPS data easy. Most functions are just one click away, and waypoints data conveniently shows in small pop-ups as you hover the mouse over the map.
QuakeMap displays aerial and topo maps from Terraserver-USA.com. You can print the maps and take them on the trail. QuakeMap also displays relief maps of the world. QuakeMap downloads maps from the mapping servers as needed, utilizing your broadband Internet connection.
With extensive GPS support, QuakeMap is designed to be your hiking/geocaching companion. Draw your route, print aerial and topo maps and see waypoints (including geocaches) on the map. Load them to GPS. Load track logs from GPS and analyze them. Watch your current position on the map.
QuakeMap also fetches earthquake information from several public "recent" lists, and overlays it on the map. You can download historical earthquakes going back more than 2000 years from public sources and display them on the map.

EarthBridge- Earth Bridge is designed to bridge the gap between Google Earth and your GPS receiver. See your location on Google Earth in real-time and easily control your view. Record your track as you move.
Earth Bridge requires an NMEA 0183 compatible GPS device connected via a serial interface. The Garmin protocol is not supported at this time (but is planned).

TrailGauge-Maps- Trailgauge can use any bitmap image as a map e.g. scanned paper maps, images from internet map sites or commercial GIS raster data. Trailgauge can even generate your own copyright free topographic maps from freely available height data and your GPS tracks and waypoints. Trailgauge supports hundreds of map projections and datums. Also automatically downloads USGS Quads and Aerial Photographs from TerraServer.
Heights- Trailgauge will automatically generate a continuous and seamless height surface over your map by downloading the necessary SRTM data which is filitered and interpolated for your map..
GPS interface- Trailgauge can download tracks from a Garmin GPS to analyse on your map. Trailgauge can extract speed data from your tracklogs to give you a speed graph of your trip including mile or km split times. After planning your route on Trailgauge simply upload it and take it with you. Full support for tracklogs, routes and waypoints.
3D Visualization- Trailgauge allows you to explore your maps terrain in real time on any OpenGL compatible graphics card. Fly through your routes, or just explore at random at any altitude. Supports configurable ground textures, height scaling and distance fogging.
Publishing- Trailgauge renders your routes into high quality route cards consisting of a map, topographic profile and list of waypoints directly into HTML for publishing on the web or printing.
