I am trying to find some very basic GPS software for my pocket PC.  I'm
looking for simple program that will work something like the way that the
Garmin GPS's work, so I can leave a snail trail of where I have been, show a
little arrow that point to my chosen destination way-point, and add
way-points etc.  I just want it to work like a basic Garmin GPS.  Any help?

Hi Darren,
 
Thanks for the info.  It is not really quite what I'm looking for.  I'm
looking for a little program the does not use maps of any sort.  My little
Garmin GPS 12 shows a blank screen only (no maps), plus any waypoints I have
added get shown on the screen.  I have used a Garmin Vista which works the
same but also shows world city locations as way points.  When you set it to
"goto", it just shows a little arrow that points in the direction of the
"goto" way point.  I just want a simple program to make my PPC work like
that.  Is there a free shareware program that will do this?
 
Cheers.

Thanks Terry,
This one looks like I can get some good use out of it.  Should be ideal for
me.  Can use it anywhere in the world without need for a map.
 
Cheers.

Thanks Darren,
I think this and some others I found from the software makers website will
be OK for me.  It is amazing that you guys on this group know just what is
out there and even where to find it.
 
Cheers.
