The use of these are taught in Incident Command System classes for the Wildland Fire GISS Position. This hardware/software combination is what many Fire and LE agencies use for their GPS field data gathering. The best part about using the Garmin receivers that they have a free software application available to them developed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources called Garmin DNR: However, the majority of our Fire and LE personnel have Garmin GPS receivers. All of our GIS is done in ESRI ArcGIS software, pretty much the professional standard. Hey! I too have a Magellan Meridian Platinum! Love it, but she's showing her age (like I ain't!) I actually like the monochromatic display as I feel it reads better in harsh sunlight.Īt work, we use Trimble Geo XT's and XM's with Trimble's GPS Pathfinder Office software to extract the GPS data. To remove these landmarks is dangerous to the serious hiker/explorer in my opinion. on my gps when out in the back country of AZ. If this is true then I would have to load them from another program as waypoints and not part of the topo maps on the new unit. I have read several reviews that said they have pulled most of the old mining sites etc. I am looking at the Delorme PN-60 and the $99.00 software that they put out for their units. It also has every old mine and spring in Arizona on it. The software is from 2001 and has every two-track in northern Michigan on it. My old Magellan came with MapSend Topo and I can say it was and is awesome. Now I am looking for a new one and in my research I have ran into a few questions about the mapping software. I use it for work now and she owes me nothing. Always been great but after 9 years or so it fails to read the data card anymore. I have had a Magellan meridian platinum gps since they came out.
