I use TOPO! for those areas covered by it (in my case, the Twin Cities, Voyageurs National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, the Apostle islands, and the western shore of Lake Superior to the Canadian border). For other areas, I use a shareware program called OziExplorer, which can import USGS DRG digitized topo maps and BSD digitized marine charts, both available on CD-ROM, and scanned maps and charts. The latter program is more versatile, but you have to provide the maps in one form or another. I use it for the Canadian shore of Lake Superior, for which maps are not yet available on CD-ROM. Both can upload and download wapoints, routes, etc. to GPS units. Chuck Holst -----Original Message----- From: Ashton Treadway [SMTP:ashton_at_tundra.org] Hi, folks: I'm evaluating various software packages for mapping, particularly for use in planning sea kayaking trips on both lakes and the coast. Any recommendations, and, if so, what draws you to the software (features/benefits)?
