Fugawi GPS Mapping
Software
Fugawi is an affordable,
feature-packed software
that locates your exact position on land or sea.
FUGAWI 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 or USGS
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS). 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. North American customers receive detailed street maps of
the entire USA as well as the nautical Region 1 Planning Charts on CD. Customers
in Europe receive a CD with the complete Road Network of Europe. Customers
outside of Europe and North America receive a World Geographic Names CD with
over 6.7 million names.
FUGAWI 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.
NEW FEATURE Fugawi can upload
any map from your PC to a Pocket PC (such as an iPAQ) or a Palm device (O.S.
3.5+). Just select an area of a map and press a button. Fugawi does the rest.
Enjoy compact real-time GPS navigation with your Pocket PC or Palm. Fugawi also
synchronizes waypoints, routes and tracks with the Palm or Pocket PC!
