Here is a picture of my Magellan GPS 315 :
I really like it!
I use it for camping, day-to-day activities, and logging coords just
for
fun.
I use it with several different pieces of Software.
For Logging I use :
- HyperTerminal - to log data via my laptop
- I am able to extract the data I need via MicroSoft Excel
- TRAX - to log data via my Palm V
- I then tranfer from my Palm to my computer.
- The main benifit is the much smaller package when comparing my
Palm
to my Laptop
- Delorme Topo!
For Real Time Navigation I use :
- Microsoft Streets and Trips - due to licensing, there are 15
seconds
between the location updates
- Delorme Street Atlas - location updated abut once evey 2 seconds
To plot the coordinates on a map, I use :
- Streets and Trips
- Delorme Topo!
And to plot the 315's TrackLog, I use :
- Delorme Topo!
- Topo! will connect the dots in chronological order.
- For an example you can see the map of the trip my
wife
and I took for our 7th annivessary
The only thing I would change is to increase the number of points
available my track log to about 10,000 or so.
Right now there is only 1250 points.
