Does anyone know a good peice of software that will allow me to manually enter gps coordinates and then overlay them on a chart?
Accuracy doesnt need to be precise, i just want something that will show me the relative position of different waypoints to each other. My gps doesnt download points and doesnt have charting options.

Garmin has a waypoint manager for $25 or so that has a crude shoreline base map in it. And you can manually enter way points. Also if you have a 76 series garmin you can download or upload points and tracks.

Only one good solution.
Maptech Chart Navigator and NOAA charts.....both free
You can even print em out.....
There IS a learning process to using it though...
Hooked

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I have been playing with the maptech/noaa charts thing. Sir reel pm'd me the link to a thread with the info. Its pretty promising, but I need to spend a bit more time with it.
