Full GPS interface with on-screen track-log: Your real-time position displayed on-screen on your laptop or Pocket PC, with your track appearing and the map scrolling automatically as you move!

Performance Monitor: Monitor and review your performance by connecting a GPS and recording your position, time and speed on the on-screen track-log at down to 1 second intervals. Click anywhere on the track log to see the time you were there, and your speed at that time. Also display the elevation profile and speed profile of your track.

Easy GPS programming: Make full use of your handheld GPS by downloading routes and waypoints created by just clicking on a real map on your PC or Pocket PC.

Print custom maps: Add your own routes and waypoints to a map then print it in high-resolution full color. Relief shading and grid overlay are print options.
