QuakeMap

http://www.earthquakemap.com/about.html

will do the same thing.  It costs $20.

As Glenn pointed out, I uses StreetAtlas USA Plus. It is a really nice
program. You can click on the cache and it will bring up the off line cache
page. That is what I like the best about it.

When I get my query, I open up GSAK and I click on a button that runs a
macro.  It automatically creates files for StreetAtlas to import.  It also
automatically creates the off line cache pages plucker needs for my PDA.

I also use GSAK to download the Waypoints to my GPS.

Actually, it is really easy. You have to make sure that your camera clock
is
set to the GPS Date/time.

When I get home from an "adventure", I download the tracks using
TopoFusion
in my "adventure" folder and download all my pictures in the same folder.

Then right click on the track and chose properties, then chose the
directory
where the photos are then it adds camera icons to the Satellite image...

I would point you to my Geocities link where I have an example, but
someone
has hit the site so much, I used up my "free" bandwidth...  :-(

Here is the vendors site example to give you an idea....
http://www.topofusion.com/photofusion/

If you flip to aerial (on the right) it is easy to see the camera icons,
just move the mouse over them or click them....

Now this looks interesting! How complex is using the 'PhotoFusion' portion
of the package? For example, could one go back and add a photo to a map at
any point in time? I guess that would require the ability to create
something similar to a 'PushPin' in Streets & Trips.
