Um, that's a little PC running a sw pkg that is known to let you load
raster maps. I think the OP was asking about standalone gps receivers
that might do this.


===================================================

I'm talking about handheld consumer GPS. I've used OziExplorer to make track maps before. And one new model pulls maps from Google Maps. But I want one that lets me load my own map (image file). Of course they'd rather sell you the maps. But I find no point in buying a new GPS receiver until this feature is available. We have the technology. Is anyone making one yet?
