[SBE] Best map program?

[Dan Rapak]

Also look at Terrain Navigator at www.maptech.com.

Actual USGS topographic maps on disk with elevation data. For your purpose, 
add the higher resolution elevation data. Seamless movement between topo 
maps; a path that would cross 3 or 4 topo maps can be plotted in one shot. 
Ability to get a graphical plot of terrain profile and line-of-site path. 
Can export to TIFF file. Store markers (waypoints,) routes (the zig-zagging 
dirt road to your antenna site that's not on the map), paths, etc. Interface 
with GPS for import/export or live location.
