Fugawi Global Navigator is a complete navigational system
that makes powerful use of the extraordinary Global Positioning System. With
Fugawi, you easily create accurate digital maps from any scanned map or
existing map database (ie. BSB Marine Charts). Then, in real-time navigation
mode, your exact position is displayed on the map as you move and new maps are
automatically loaded as you travel to new areas.
Fugawi Global
Navigator also brings you all the convenience of computer mapping without
having to carry it on your travels. You simply position waypoints and routes on
your map with a click of the mouse and then upload them to your GPS receiver
for use out in the field. Upon returning to your base, you can download added
waypoints, routes and tracks onto the digital maps for analysis.
Fugawi
can upload any map from your PC to a Pocket PC (such as an iPAQ or Garmin iQue
M5) or a Palm device (O.S. 3.5+) including the Garmin iQue. (See
