wilderness gps software?

tannin · 06-20-2008, 02:08 PM

I'm travelling to costa rica in a month or so and other than garmin, I can't find any map software that actually knows about roads there. Between my OQO and carpc, I'd prefer not to buy a standalone gps, so I'm looking for some XP software that can show normal routes, waypoints, record paths and aid in backtracing (so I don't get lost...), etc.

The kind of software you'd want in the forest, on foot, which I might also be doing (really do like my oqo for this).

Don't really have time to write this myself between now and then.

Garmin Mobile PC comes to mind first. Garmin may have suitable maps, or there may be 3rd party Garmin-compatible maps suitable for your purpose. I cannot think of anything else that would work on your OQO (or other XP/Vista based PC). Other than that, perhaps OziExplorer may save the day.
