MapSphere

It seems that the Internet has all sort of software solutions that you can use in any situation, regardless of the things you wish to achieve. One of them is MapSphere.

It's a neat software solution designed for travelers and people who track them. It can download and display maps or satellite images in multiple ways.

The application sports a really intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface with multiple tools and features at hand. You can make some general settings to the application and pick from the metric or imperial systems for distance.

You can also pick measurement units for coordinates and it lets you adjust some online privacy settings and the application is available in multiple languages.

The program can show your current position and record your track, provided that you use a GPS receiver. MapSphere helps you to share your trip with others in a fast way and in almost automated mode.

It doesn't contain any maps, but it connects to public sources of mapping data such as OpenStreetMap or Microsoft Research Maps. It automatically stores data on your hard drive while you scroll or zoom the map.

Maps are also available in offline mode, so you can navigate without being connected to the Internet. The maps can be downloaded along any path or within a given radius.

You can search for populated places and geographical objects all over the world in any language but streets and addresses are mainly represented in the USA. You can also find a location by using its coordinates.

Some more features are available online, you can store your track on the developer's server, manage contact list and chat in groups. MapSphere is a very neat application for creating your trip itinerary and tracking all the places that you've visited.
