Digital Mapping Data

 

905.563.4221




Mapping your GPS waypoints and making them available to view in conjunction with other digital map data on your home PC.

Latitude and Longitude measurements are a means to place your waypoint(s) on a map, but also the information about that location can be described and further retrieved and displayed by a mouse click. Your waypoints of a shipwreck or a fish holding bolder can be referred to in a simple display. Couple the location with information and you have a geographic library of your fishing experiences.

Discover- fish holding patterns, predict your next hotspot, manage your trip logs on your home PC.

Install Google Earth Here...

Google Earth is a desktop software that is free and uses the premise of Geographic Information Systems to layer (overlay) themes of information. Your waypoints have coordinates that find location relationships to other layers such as Bathymetry (water depth contours). Discover more about Google Earth here.

How do I get my waypoints on the globe I see in Google Earth?
