setup. It does show position with a GPS connected, and the Steets add-in is
very accurate and detailed. What Fugawi does is let you use almost any map
image (from a scanner, screen dump, bmp file,...) as a GPS base map. It has
a mode called Map Calibration wherein you select three points on your source
map for which you have coordinates. Once calibrated, the map can be saved
and then used for GPS positioning. Pretty cool.
Okay... I remember reading about this in the past at some point.
Anke Otto uses this software a lot for diving - she can expound on the virtues better than I.
I'm guessing that I'd read up on it back when I was trying to give my friend in Australia some advice on mapping software. I'd think it would be very useful for use in countries where software like Streets and Street Atlas isn't available (yet?). Being able to scan any old map, and import it to the software sounds like a brilliant solution.
