Wissenbach Map3D 2.44
With Wissenbach Map3D you will be able to create, view and edit GPX (GPs eXchange) files. more>>
All of the objects produced by a non-mapping GPS unit such as the Garmin eTrex summit. A GPX file can be created by reading data from your GPS receiver with this program, or by drawing on this program over a background topographic map. This program will also write GPX tracks, waypoints, or routes to your Garmin receiver, to allow you to follow trails which others have previously logged with their GPS receivers.
The background maps for the program are the familiar USGS 7 1/2 minute topographic maps, converted by the United States Government with your tax money to Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) files. This program does not directly open DRG files but instead uses the DRG files as a background resource.
When you define a region of interest by opening a GPX file, by downloading data from the GPS receiver, or by using View->Enter Coordinates to manually specify a location, the program attempts to draw a background topographic map by looking on your computer for USGS DRG files. Any GPS data, either read from a GPX file or from your GPS receiver, is then overlayed on top of the background maps.
WM3D auto-downloads and displays topographic maps and aerial photos from TerraServer USA. Another program which operates in this manner is Expert GPS. (Expert GPS was the first program to automatically download Terraserver tiles in this manner, as far as I know.)
Wissenbach Map3D initially opens with a blank screen, because the geographic extent desired is unknown. To start, either connect a Garmin Receiver to the serial port and use GPS, Read From GPS, or View, Enter Coordinates. A good way to find starting coordinates for planning a hike or bike or ski trip is to use the USGS Geographic Names Information System search form United States and Territories.
If you are interested in terrain visualization but this program doesnt meet your expectations, see Terrain Visualization for programs with similar capabilities.
If you have an older (than eTrex) model Garmin or use a Magellan or Brunton or Lowrance GPSR and need topographic mapping capability, or you have trouble with this program or just want to try something different I can recommend the moderately priced Expert GPS from Topografix. which can read and write the GPX files produced by this program. (I received a free copy of ExpertGPS from Topografix for collaborating with the design of the GPX file format).

GreatCirc 1.0
GreatCirc is a software that lets you calculate great circle distances on the earths surface. more>>
The "great circle path" is the shortest direct route between two points on the earths surface. Because the earth is a globe, the shortest path between any two points lies on a circle which is centred at the earths core and passes around the surface of the world. Such a path will appear to be a curved line when drawn on a flat world map beause of the distortion inherent in mapping the globe onto a flat map. See the Wikipedia article for further information on great circle distance.
GreatCirc will calculate both the common "Direct Problem" and the "Inverse Problem", as well as doing a separate "Coverage Area" calculation. For the Direct Problem, given a starting point and the initial bearing and distance it will calculate the latitude and longitude at the destination.
For the Inverse problem, it will calculate the distance and azimuth bearings between any two points, given the latitude and longitude. In both cases, GreatCirc will plot the resulting Great Circle path on a world map.
GreatCirc will also do a coverage area calculation, given a centre point and a range, it will plot the resulting circle on a world map and calculate the area of the earths surface enclosed within the circle.
Great Circle calculations are based on spherical geometry, and can be relatively simple if the earth is assumed to be a perfect sphere. However, the earth is known to be in fact a flattened ellipsoid and not a sphere at all.
GreatCirc uses the standard WGS84 ellipsoid earth model commonly found on GPS receivers, to provide the most accurate calculations, however the option to do calculations using a spherical earth model is also available to allow comparisons between the two techniques. To perform the WGS84 ellipsoid calculations, GreatCirc uses the Vincenty algorithm.
A batch mode is also available to allow calculation of multiple distances and waypoints along a path and plot them on the world map.
GreatCirc may be of interest to mapping professionals interested in finding true distances between locations on the earths surface, or the general public interested in plotting their travels on a world map
NOTE:
The basic calculator function can be downloaded and used free of charge. To access the extended batch mode, file exporting, and magnetic azimuth tools you will need to register.
GPSBabel 1.3.4 Beta 20070711
An open source software solution that converts waypoints, tracks, and routes from one format to another more>>
By flattening the Tower of Babel that the authors of various programs for manipulating GPS data have imposed upon us, it returns to us the ability to freely move our own waypoint data between the programs and hardware we choose to use.
GPSBabel contains extensive data manipulation abilities making it a convenient for server-side processing or as the backend for other tools.
GPSBabel does not convert, transfer, send, or manipulate maps. GPSBabel process data that may (or may not be) placed on a map, such as waypoints, tracks, and routes.
GPSBabel - GPSBabel reads, writes, and manipulates GPS waypoints in a variety of formats. GPSBabel. GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routesGPS Mapper 0.1.2-103
GPS Mapper brings you a useful guide map. more>>
GPS Mapper 0.1.2-103 brings you a useful guide map. Download waypoints from a Garmin GPS and plot a map or points of reference and export the map to a bitmap image. You can also add a legend that can be customised with colour codes for the areas of interest in your map. You can superimpose a ruler horizontally or vertically to give an indication of the scale of your map area. For statistical analysis, a summary can be created for comparing the area size of plotted shapes in your map.
