Any GPS software for surveying?

I need software that will allow me to mark a waypoint and add a description to it for later retrieval.
Anyone know of something that works like that?
I've looked, but haven't been lucky at all.

GPS Tuner is very good. You can import/export tracklogs, waypoints etc in multiple formats, like GPX or Google Earth kml.

Memory Map (I'm assuming you're from the UK), which is Ordnance Survey mapping software, works with the internal GPS. It will record waypoints and routes and provides data like elevation, speed, etc. You can upload the data to a PC for analysis. You can find...er....evaluation copies on the net.

If you're planning on doing it with any amount of accuracy, then have a read of this thread which will be relevant to you.

GPS mapping...

I would like to use the GPS on my phone to map my position on a static map or a jpeg. I don't want to use the web at all, I want to store my maps in static images and pull up the appropriate map and be able to find my position on that map
Does anyone know if this is possible and how it would be done?
Thanks.
TW,

I realize you want to be able to import maps, something you cannot do with BeeLineGPS (http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/BeeLineGPS), but I'd still strongly recommend the program. It does not do anything over the Internet but it does do just about everything one could do with GPS data. As far as getting some kind of reference of where things are on a blank map, you can import waypoints or mark them on your phone and you can export the movement you've tracked into KML (Google Earth).
From their website: "BeeLineGPS is a high performance Pocket PC cache navigation and management software tool. Import GPX files and manage thousands of waypoints with the advanced Waypoint Manger. View, manage and hunt geocaches with ease and confidence while having fun, a perfect paperless solution. BeeLineGPS also includes active waypoint technology where a waypoint can trigger a warning window for speed traps, safety cameras or play a sound byte while on a guided tour. Other features include waypoint averaging, altitude profiling and a comprehensive trip computer. BeeLineGPS is the ultimate GPS tool for your geocaching and outdoor needs. BeeLineGPS waypoint database can support thousands of waypoints with over 120 icons to depict specific locations."
It's 30 day shareware that eventually turns into nagware but you may find it's worth the $30. Here's the cab: http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/BeeLineGPSInstall.CAB

I have not used this at all, haven't even installed it yet, but you might want to look at MyMotion

Very interesting, thanks guys.
I think MyMotion is the closest I've seen yet. I don't really care about tracking where I've been - does anyone know of any open source similar to MyMotion?

I think you should take a look at GPStuner. It does a lot of things
- Maps can be downloaded from the phone, or from a computer and stored on memory card. (i currently have 50 JPG covering 200 sq km)
- It records your track, gives information about your current speed, altitude, average speed...
- You set up points aywhere on the map and it will lead you to them, or search nearby points. I use it for things that do not come on Tomtom, like bus stops, libraries or free WiFi hotspots
- You can save your track and open it on Google Earth
Another similar software is tracky, but I like GPSTuner more

chinomoreno, it's not polite to hi-jack a thread... start another with your question.

You can also use LEM's TrackMe, using it off-line it will store your data on your device until you decide to upload it (by example when connected with Wifi or ActiveSync). It also stores .kml files you can use in Google Earth.

We've kind of moved off topic to tracking software as opposed to being able to find a point on a static map or image... is it really that difficult to do???
TW,

Desktop app exportable to kaiser
I use Memorymap on my desktop and it can be fully exported to pda. Incorporates standard maps and arial photographic images which you can flip between:

PathAway, but it's way more than what you're asking for. You can create a map, calibrate it, then upload it. You can do large maps, small maps, etc.. And you can pull in topo or sat maps in on the fly over the data connection too if you don't happen to have a map already made.

Windows Mobile App Repository

There is currently one app repository on XDA the thread is as follows.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471576
However, I am trying to develop similar software which allows users to register with the website and create different profiles, create packages, revise packages, and search by device, WM version, package name and other traits.
For example, on my Kaiser I like to have the total commander, Skype, pocket rar, Google maps, and other software. I would like to be able to select the necessary programs either via PPC software or the website and automatically download and install the software on my devices. (a lot like tierautoinstaller) in addition when new versions come out I would like to have to option of automatically installing the updated version.
The package system would work much like Apt-get from the debian Linux distribution http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apt_get. Each package would have an owner and contributors. The owner is the person who created it and can delete it. Contributors will have assignable powers to modify package information and release new versions of the program.
Each user will be able to select his/her packages and they will be saved in the database. The cabs will can to be retrieved from either the software on the device (still needs to be made) or the website (work in progress).
Currently I have a mySQL database as my backend and have created the basic dynamic webpages in perl which can browse, search, create and modify packages. Each package will have an external url and an internal cached copy for fault tolerances. More details will be disclosed as my development contuines.
If this sounds like something you will use or have any suggestions please let me know. Work has been kicking my butt lately but as soon as I finish the user registration part of the website I will put it up for a few test trials.

Mods: Since I currently own a Kaiser and only have software for a Kaiser I would like to keep this thread here until the initial testing phase is complete and I am ready to expand to other devices.

I don't get why there are 3-4 (likely 6-12) app stores out there, all incomplete, all with few apps listed. Rather than build another one, how about working with one which fits your ideas and contributing.
