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!      PALM DETAILS       POCKET PC DETAILS

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.
