Description:

Fugawi is a complete navigational system that makes powerful use of GPS. With Fugawi, you easily create accurate digital maps from any scanned map or existing map database (ie. BSB Marine Charts or USGS Topographic Maps). Then, in real-time navigation mode, your exact position is displayed on the map as you move and new maps are automatically loaded as you travel to new areas. Also included is a European Road Network CD (with limited Scandinavian coverage).

Fugawi 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.

Features:
- Accepts bitmapped maps from a scanner, a map database or a drafting program
- Corrects scanned maps for rotation, skewing, and differential stretching of the axes caused by photocopying or paper shrinkage
- Supports ready-made MARINE CHARTS, LAND MAPS and STREET MAPS
- Automatically imports BSB, Maptech, SoftChart, ChartTiff, USGS DRG and TIF+TFW digital map products
- Supports many map projections: Mercator (most nautical charts), Universal Transverse Mercator (many topographical maps), Transverse Mercator, Equidistant Cylindrical, Sinusoidal, Lambert Conformal Conic, Cassini, Swiss, GridGauß Krüger, Wagner IV, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area, Polyconic, Bonne
- Supports grids from: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, UK Ordnance Survey, Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and UTM.
- Shows your track and current location on the screen
- Full navigational features: speed, waypoints, routes, distance to go, course to steer, magnetic and true courses
- Built-in Odometers and Trip Odometers to calculate distance traveled
Geographic Name lookup. Look up a name and click to autoload a map.
- Distance and bearing measurement tool
- Plots points and reads co-ordinates from maps with exceptional precision
- Optimizes the number of track points (based on user-specified tolerance) with Smart Track Reduction
- Loads appropriate map from your own digital map library as you travel

Advanced features include; the ability to make a trail map by printing your waypoints, routes and/or tracks on your map; display the elevation profile for a track or route; make multiple tracks and routes visible; attach sound and pictures to waypoints (Fugawi supports the Kodak digital GPS camera and automatically puts pictures on your maps in the location where the picture was taken); synchronize the computer clock to the GPS clock; determine Sunrise and Sunset for any location and date; import NMEA log files; create User Grids in Transverse Mercator projection; and relay. Differential corrections (RTCM) received over the internet to your GPS receiver.
