Any recommendations for modern route planning software?
I have a gpsmap 541s
The garmin homeport software is really basic....
I'd like to see the garmin or noaa maps overlaid with satellite imagery (google earth) so I have a better picture for route planning.
I feel like I'm looking at the manufacturer's suggestion (homeport) which feels 5 years old.. when there is probably something much much better.
Maybe a combination of products?
I do all my research in google earth.. I even like to lay my route in google earth but I haven't found a way to tie this into my gps device... would be nice to better integrate with it.
Any recommendations appreciated (mac is preference, but PC is OK too)
Thanks
