| Please excuse me if this has already been covered somewhere...
I'm still awaiting the delivery of my HPC.
I'm planing a 2,600 mile hike on the Pacific Crest trail next year and am wondering if there is any GPS Mapping software that will run on my 680e. I know there's a lot available for the Pocket PC but can't seem to find anything specifically for the HPC. Can anyone recomend something for me?

| Search the board for GPS, this has been covered in great detail elsewhere. |

|
| Where? A search of "Jornada 680E GPS" yields nothing of help.
Thnks, |

| I plan to purchase Holux GM 270 CF compact flash GPS receiver as the HCL says it compatible with WinCE 2.11. Can I use it with Garmap (http://www.catnet.ne.jp/fukuda/garmap/e_garmap.html) mapping software? |

| PocketMV (Pocket Map Viewer ) works on all HPCs.
This software use the standard Mapsource maps used by GARMIN GPS and other companies.You can compiled a Mapsource map and use it with PocketMV then you can use very detailed and actualized maps.

| Just to correct you there. It works on 2.11 and above, not all H/PC's |

| I nabbed Garmap and installed it. It looks runs on my 6651 and looks OK but without any maps I can't evaluate it. Does anyone have any Garmap files they wish to share? Any location will do, americas, asia, the route to your outhouse :wacko
Better yet, can I download (free) other format maps and use them with Garmap?
(my scanner is fooked so I can't make maps) |

| You can use screencaps from maps.google.com. Gives you a choice of street maps or satelite photos. Depending on where you plan to use it, it's actually an excellent jaw-dropper that impresses the heck out of friends and bystanders.
Try it in New York on a sunny day using zoomed-in-to-the-max satelite maps and some people think they're seeing LIVE SATELITE TRACKING. Which is true, up to a point. <grin>
