I'm looking at Navibe GM720 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver (SiRFstar III). This is the PC specs I plan to use. Dell Insperion 2200 Celeron M520 1.6Ghz processor 512mb ram OS XP Home SP3 4 usb ports I plan to use the set up in my vehicle, boat, and possibly my aircraft when I start back flying. I would like to be able to use the same software and receiver. I'd like to keep things as simple as hand held devices once up and running.
I'd like to record way points so I can return there. Make notes pinned to way points, so I remember why I want to be there.

For example, I make a way point while fishing, and I wanna note that there is a shallow sand bar that holds bass in mid May. Can I do this? Also, I only want to check my position when I am driving and make sure I am on the correct route. I am trying to keep this as simple and cheap as possible. Most of my GPS usage will be driving and boating. I keep paper maps and nav tools for reference. When I fly, I use dead reckoning and only fly vfr.
I would like to use GPS and and paper maps for reassurance during flight. It becomes dangerous when a pilot takes his eyes off the sky. I had one close call due to an air traffic controller sending one up, as I was being directed to turn across the end of the runway at 1500 feet. The other plane couldn't see me because it was low wing and on a steep climb. I couldn't see the plane coming at me because the runway was on my right and I was flying left seat. The other plane saw me in time to roll out and on looker said the other plane was 30 to 50 feet from my tail feathers.The only way I new a plane was close, was the prop wash bouncing me around, as the other plane rolled out to miss me.
Exciting times. My main question is, can I use one receiver and one software package for driving, flying, and boating? Topo and under water topo would be nice, but not necessary. 10 hours is a lot, and I bet you've learned a thing or two. You could also look into using Garmin nRoute (a discontinued product, but still available).

You could use various Garmin maps with nRoute, depending on if you are on the water, or on the road, or in your plane. And welcome to the forums! Learned a thing or three and confused myself a whole lot more. I will look into the Garmin software, because I do more on water than land during the summer.
Dunno when I'll go back to flying. I lost my medical due to IBD. I am still trying to figure out how to cache maps. No magic there. As you browse the maps in Google Earth, it is putting that map info into the cache automatically. So just browse the area you will travel through, in advance, and it will be there when you need it.
Be sure to browse and zoom to the level of detail you might need. You can do a quick check to be sure you have what you need by disconnecting from the internet, running Google Earth and browsing some of the area again. It should all be there.ken. Ken, I did as suggested to cache maps. I noticed, once I wet offline, that I didn't have to do multi passes to get different elevations. Is there a way to use street level view for areas where photos are available?
My wife and I are planning a trip to visit one of her relatives, it would help to use photos of landmarks. Is it possible to do this and how? Sorry if these are repeat questions. So far this is becoming easier than I ever thought possible. Almost as easy as the AIOs I have used in the past. BTW, I ordered a Globalsat BU-353 receiver today, well Tuesday afternoon. I had a free shipping code and got it all in for $36.95.
I think that's a good deal seeing as how no electronics stores in my area even knew such a thing exists. Is there a way to use street level view for areas where photos are available? My wife and I are planning a trip to visit one of her relatives, it would help to use photos of landmarks. Is it possible to do this and how? Those are good questions.
I'm afraid you are now beyond my experience. You will have to strike out on your own and break some new ground for us. Google Earth has a support forum online where you may be able to find the answers to those questions. If you find some answers I would be very interested in hearing about them. I can't do any research right now because I'm travelling.
I severely limit my computer time when I'm on the road with my wife.ken.
