Fort Collins, Colorado, November 12th, 2002

Use almost any GPS including Garmin, Trimble, Leica, Magellan
ESRI ArcGIS 8.x Extension
Use Garmin Waypoints instead of track logs
Use USGS Topo and Aerial Images (auto registered for ArcView)

Clickable overview maps
Import raw NMEA files (including compass heading information)
Manually enter position for photos
Supports TIFF files from cameras
Supports GPS Datalogger hardware
Other popular features include:
