Free Gps Software
Believe it or not, you can find free GPS software on the internet that can turn your cell phone or PDA into a GPS tracking device or navigation aid. Of course, you will need to have a GPS receiver in or on your car that the software will be able to read and then transmit the information to your personal computer or PDA. The software helps you locate a vehicle or give you directions to get to a destination.
With some of the free GPS software, using your mobile phone or PDA, along with your GPS receiver, you can record and view your movements in detail on Google Earth or Google Maps. You can even use the free service for live tracking using Google Earth or Google Maps. Download of the GPS software as well as use of the website, is completely free (and there are no future plans to charge for this either). The web server also retains all the data you’ve ever recorded and submitted, so you can always go back and view your older recorded data at any time.

When you go to download free GPS software, be sure you know what you are getting as many of these free offers come with limitations and provisions for use. Just like with other freeware programs, the programs may be a scaled down version of the full product that is available for purchase. Sometimes the free product has restricted functionality with features disabled, other products are trial--based and are disabled after a certain time (hours or days or use).
Using free GPS software you can download programs that allow you to retrieve and display aerial photos, topographical maps, USGS landmarks. There are programs available that allow you import scanned images and add latitude and longitude points and other data. Free GPS software downloads are available for PDA units that are capable of communication with GPS receivers. With these downloads you can have a useful navigation assistant, location database manager, and GPS data converter.
Free GPS software programs are available for anyone, so just take a look around and find one that you like. Experiment with it and then take full advantage of everything it has to offer.
