There are a number of mapping packages available for a number of platforms. A number of th packages now include at least basic GPS functionality, if not more advanced functions. Moving map functionality is also becoming more common, especially in PDA software. For more details on software designed specifically for managing waypoints, tracks and routes, see Waypoint management software for more information.
Maps
Many mapping software packages come with maps - although it pays to check before purchasing. Other packages allow you to purchase additional maps, and some allow you to use free maps and/or georeference your own images.
Most will allow you to connect the GPS and see your location in real time.
Another option is to use a Mapping GPS.
