Fugawi Global Navigator also brings you all the convenience of computer mapping without having to carry it on your travels. You simply position waypoints and routes on your map with a click of the mouse and then upload them to your GPS receiver for use out in the field. Upon returning to your base, you can download added waypoints, routes and tracks onto the digital maps for analysis.
Fugawi can upload any map from your PC to a Pocket PC (such as an iPAQ or Garmin iQue M5) or a Palm device (O.S. 3.5+) including the Garmin iQue. (See below for more details.) Just select an area of a map and press a button. Fugawi does the rest. Enjoy compact real-time GPS navigation with your Pocket PC or Palm. Fugawi also synchronizes waypoints, routes and tracks with the Palm or Pocket PC.
