[NLRS] Mapping Programs

[Stephen Hicks, N5AC]

I have a Motorola MW-520 in the truck which is a touch-screen computer that
is not terribly fast but works well with mapping programs.  I use a
combination of software including Street Atlas USA (I use the old version 9
because it works better) and Topo USA.  If you use UI-View and Precision
Mapping, the grid square will also be available on the computer.  I
generally just leave the GPS in Maidenhead and look at it.  Finally, I wrote
my own logging software in VB.NET that also reads from the GPS and shows the
grid square prominently on the display.

Has any one used a Computer mapping program with GPS antenna that has
capability to show your Grid Square.  Yes I do have a Hand held GPS unit,
but I use a computer in the truck for Emails and other things and it would
be great to put on it a street map that showed elevation and grid squares
will driving around.  TNX Dave  NØKP
