MapSphere combines together a lot of communication possibilities that can be used in a trip. They are instant messaging, chat, blog, and GPS position tracking.
You have the possibility of attaching any maps or other geographical data to MapSphere that are available as extensions.
The data is downloaded automatically while scrolling or zooming the map. It is stored locally on the hard drive, so you keep control over it. For example, you can download maps for some area and then work with them without internet connection.
Here are some key features of "MapSphere":
· Navigation
Extend the functionality of your GPS receiver by attaching it to MapSphere installed on your notebook. Live tracking of the current position and special information screens can make your travel easier:
· GeoPIM: tracks and waypoints
GeoPIM is a Personal Information Manager for geographical data like tracks and waypoints. It lets you organize, edit and process such data in collections, exchange them with your friends, view them on the map, gather useful statistics and so on:
