Untitled ReviewI also draw routes on the map with the mouse, download them to the GPS and print a map with the route. Also you can use it to download a route someone else did, even if it was recorded with a different GPS receiver.
The ability to scan and calibrate maps is great, as most programs with integrated maps don't have much for Greece. It can also import popular map formats but this is of no use to me...
The moving map function is great for road trips or sailing (good thing there is a PocketPC version) and the program can give you oral instructions (you can use recordings of your own voice). You can also set alarm zones, input depth meter data and more.
Lots of available datums, unfortunately not the Greek one (EGSA 87) but wouldn't take a star out for it
