MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just got myself a shiny new Garmin Vista HCx and I'm wondering what software other people use to plan/review routes and related info.
Suggestions?
SportTracks and Quo on Windows in VMware... 🙂
VMware's cheating!!
I've got Memory Map on that though, so I guess i'm a cheat too!
HikeTech offer a basic (and cheap) software suite for planning and route management. You have to supply your own maps though.
GPSBabel is good for conversion to other formats (e.g. for Google Earth).
RouteBuddy looks promising, but they still don't have OS mapping (they've being saying it's coming for 2 years now).
The only other option is a Windows virtual machine (Parallels or VMWare) and a copy of Tracklogs / Memory Map / Anquet.

You can use Garmin roadtrip and import maps from OpenStreetMap - there are various open source tools for doing it or you can use something like http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php, you can build routes/waypoints etc in Roadtrip.

No need for Windows a copy of [url= http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ ]crossover[/url] is all you need.
Or sun VirtualBox
Tracklogs doesn't really work under crossover (unless its changed somewhat in the last 18 months), might be possible to try WINE instead. I just run Tracklogs in VMFusion.
