I use MapPoint and so does Bruce.. It is really expensive but it has many plug ins. You could probably get an educational discount or something. You can get a free trial of it from Microsoft. I think it's the best I have seen. There is a plugin called "Advanced GPS" that works great with it. It even has direction correction when driving and a personal driving assistant. Going out of town all the time, this software helps me get directions from cache to cache and saves me a ton of time..

(And I actually found one with a serial port!) Does anyone have any advice on the various types of software to use caching? Thanks
