GPS Utility
GPS Utility is an easy-to-use application that provides management and manipulation of GPS information. You can use it to transfer data to/from a GPS receiver and store the data in PC files in one of several text formats.

The program converts between different map datums and many coordinate formats (Lat/Long, UTM/UPS, country grids etc.). Information can be filtered in various ways and waypoints sorted according to specified criteria. Using a scanned in bitmap you can digitize waypoints, routes and tracks. Route and track statistics are available and can be transferred into other programs for ananlysis (i.e. spreadsheet programs). You can plot your GPS information as a map and add map annotations in text or image form.

GPS Utility can also be set to gather the current position at regular time intervals and to show the position on a moving map display. An interface monitor is available for diagnostic purposes such as logging NMEA sentences.

GPS Utility is particularly useful for editing and splicing together track and route segments. You can use it to convert tracks into a route and set of waypoints or convert Routes into tracks. Search patterns can be generated in either track or route/waypoint forms. Other tools allow you to analyse and average the GPS information. Routes may be exported as Route cards. Some special purpose file import and export functions are also provided. [Report a dead link]

USAMap , 238kb , Rating: 5, Editor's Pick
This is a great program for only 238k! You have to be online to get images, but you enter in a starting point in Lat and Long and it gets either aerial or topo images from terraserver.com. It saves them so you can scroll around them later. You can also label points and streets and export data to a GPS. Also makes a JPG of the current screen. Zoom in and out. [Report a dead link]
