HOW
FUGAWI GLOBAL NAVIGATOR WORKS AUTOMATICALLY:
• 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
•
Automatically converts the GPS datum (WGS 84) to the map datum. In fact, users
in Sweden, Finland, Austria, The Netherlands, Switzerland and New Zealand will
find that the conversion in FUGAWI is more accurate than the conversion in their
GPS receivers or other mapping programs
• Exports waypoints and tracks
with UTM coordinates or latitude/longitude
HOW YOU WORK WITH FUGAWI:
• Select a chart datum from over 100 possibilities or create your own
• Create a waypoint by clicking, eliminating time-consuming plotting.
• Draw tracks and routes freehand. Or draw free-hand around an area on the
map and FUGAWI will accurately calculate the area enclosed
• Select
location icons like: boats, planes, cars, hikers or targets that rotate as you
change direction. And any icon can mark a waypoint
• Upload waypoints and routes from your PC to your Garmin, Lowrance/Eagle,
Micrologic or Magellan GPS receiver for field use or download waypoints,
routes and tracks to your PC for analysis or mapping. (View
GPS compatibility table)
• Create
a Geographical Information System database by clicking on a map location
ADVANCED
FEATURES
• You can easily move to an adjacent larger or smaller scale map
with a click
• Make a trail map by printing your waypoints, routes and/or tracks
on your map
•
Display the elevation profile for a track or route
• View maps in 3D. "Fly" around maps for a sensational view.
• Make multiple tracks and routes visible
• There is Night and Dusk vision display
• You can attach sound and pictures to waypoints and automatically
play them as you approach
• 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.
• Export Waypoints, Routes and Tracks as point, polygon or polyline
Shape files (.shp).
•
In Fugawi you can click to display the elevation profile for a Track
or Route.
• Elevation data for the profile can come from a track file generated
within Fugawi, from a track downloaded from a GPS receiver (some models),
or from free elevation data downloaded from the World Wide Web.
