Trekbuddy Mapmaker2.0.7b

Putting together maps that can be used inside navigation clients or similar utilities, which allow users to find routes for driving, hiking, flying or any other activity involving some sort of map-based orientation is definitely not an easy job.There are some programs that were tailored specifically for such purposes and one of those goes by the name of Trekbuddy Mapmaker. This tool can be used right out of the box since it doesn't require installation and, what's more, you can carry and deploy it from a portable storage device like a USB flash drive.The interface of this software solution is not the best looking GUI, but it serves the purpose very well and facilitates the immediate access to all the functions of Trekbuddy Mapmaker. The support for several mapping applications is quite welcomed, as this utility will handle many file types.Besides the Trekbuddy formats SET and TAR it is possible to load files and images that are specific to Google Earth (KMZ, KML) and OziExplorer (OZFX3, OZF2). If the maps are saved as images, you should be able to open them just as easily if they are available in one of the supported types, namely JPG (JPEG), BMP, PNG, TIF (TIFF) and GIF.When it comes to web maps, there is an impressive number of services that Trekbuddy Mapmaker can use to get data from. Thus, you can get satellite, terrain, roadmap, street, geography and many other kinds of maps by simply selecting the desired source from the dedicated menu of the application.Given the ease of use and thanks to the great support it provides for both files and services, Trekbuddy Mapmaker can fit the bill for any user interested in map generation. Saving selections takes a few seconds and all the maps you create can be easily read by dedicated devices.
