FUGAWI can let you
make use of any scanned map or any of the many existing
electronic map formats (i.e.. BSB MARINE CHARTS or USGS
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS)(see
NDI
). In real time your exact location is
displayed by any number of user defined icons. As you
move, the map moves with you and new maps are automatically
loaded as you travel off the chart. When you purchase
FUGAWI you also receive with it detailed street maps of the
entire USA as well as the nautical Region 1 Planning charts on
CD. European customers receive a CD with the complete Road
Network of Europe. Customers outside of Europe and North
America receive a World Geographic Names CD with over 6.7
million names.
FUGAWI allows you to also make use of it without taking it with
you. When at your computer at home or office just connect
your GPS to your main computer and upload your waypoints and
routes to your handheld GPS for use in the field. When you
come back you just reverse the process and download from the GPS
to your main computer and display your track on FUGAWI charts.
FUGAWI's newest feature makes fantastic use of your handheld
PDA. Now you can upload any map from FUGAWI on your main
computer or laptop to your Pocket PC (such as an iPAQ) or a Palm
device (O.S. 3.5+) including the Garmin iQue. You can have
compact real-time GPS navigation on your Pocket PC or Palm with
just a click of the mouse button. Waypoints, routes and
tracks are all synchronized with the Palm or Pocket PC!

FUGAWI is a feature-packed program that is used by major
international organizations and the armed forces in critical
applications. Sea-View Diving has used FUGAWI for several
years to find shipwrecks around the Great Lakes. For us it
has proven to be extremely useful and easy to use.
Sea-View Diving highly recommends this software for shipwreck
locating and boat navigation. The number of charts
available to use is growing rapidly. It has become the
number 1 navigation software in the world in regards to both
affordability and ease of use. Other navigation software
we have tried are just too complicated and pricey for the
average boating expedition. FUGAWI is all you need to put
you exactly on any map.
