[BC] GPS For Proofs...

[Burt I. Weiner]

Mike,

The Delorme products are mapping programs, not proof programs.  They will 
do everything you mention with the exception of the XLS stuffs.  I write 
descriptions on a separate log in the traditional manner.  The software is 
essentially consumer type in that it is inexpensive and you can easily run 
it on your laptop.  It will allow you to draw radials, put various tags and 
labels on the maps in various layers if you wish.  See the article in the 
April 2004 Radio Guide I wrote on the subject.  And yes, you can print out 
real 7.5" Quads complete with radials, the points you've added and a title 
box.  They will be better than anything you can draw on a map by 
hand.  Plus, they'll all fit in your laptop as one complete map and not all 
over the inside of your car!
