Hi all -

Does anyone know of a good freeware program that allows entry of GPS
coordinates to get a map result of the location anywhere on the planet?

Thanks.


Dave

As others have said, Google Earth and Google Maps will do this for you.

http://maps.google.com/maps

Just enter the coordinates in the search box. You can enter many different
coordinate formats, (eg decimal, deg,min,sec etc).

The only problem you might find is that you need a connection to the
internet to use it.
