Best GPS Software for elevation ect?

PRSPower · #1 (**permalink**) 01-28-2008, 12:25 PM

Now that my Titan has been blessed with GPS, I am playing around with some different pieces of software. I found GPS Test (http://www.chartcross.co.uk/products...02_details.asp) through a google search and it has some fun features, but does not give elevation. Nor does Live Search, or Google Maps.

So here is the question. Does anyone have any good tips on GPS software (preferably freeware) that gives all the essential details like Lat/Long, Compass Bering/Direction, speed, and elevation?

Thanks, but I have read through that entire thread and nothing about elevation.

I found RichesseGPS, it gives lat, long, elevation, distance and direction to a point and speed.

Thank you 35mm that is just what I was looking for. Now if I can just get it to display in ft instead of meters. I would hate to give up on my boycott of the metric system.

RANT: Screw developers who always want more from their current clients by CONSTANTLY upgrading to a new version, upgrade costs at most should only be the difference of what you paid and what it cost a new client to get the same thing. If the new version improved the product so much more than charge everyone more. Screw a developer who socks it to the guy who supported him when his product lacked and trys to help him by make recommendations how the product should be better and then turns around and charges him 50% more each time he comes out with a "new version". i.e. tracky....pisses me off. Makes a guy want to turn into a pirate. RANT DONE
