    Are any of the local WA guys using GEO Map (WA Gov) and what GPS do you have hooked up to it.

    I want to get a Car based GPS receiver USB and feed from the software which is loaded on the Laptop.

    Help please. I don't want to buy another GPS handheld unit.

    Any tips appreciated :)

    Can't you just plug your track into Google earth? easy peasy..the better than airphotos and free, free, free!!!

    Google earth has a 'tools' bar and it'll download and plot all your tracks waypoints etc
