Im going to Florida next week and I have been looking for some software to direct me while im there but im having a little trouble I've downloaded king map USA but it's a trial and the site to register is all in Chinese. So has anyone got any ideas of other software I don’t particularly need maps just a arrow so I can get back to the hotel i.e. input the lat long and it just display an arrow to the destination
Any ideas greatly accepted
Thanks a Lot

Have a look at Mapopolis - they offer demo maps that are good for nine days.

Hi Gazjen,
I will be in Florida next week as well. We are off to Miami and the Keys for a week.
One of the things I am going to be testing is the new Memory-Map USGS Topo maps. I have 1:250,000 for the whole of the USA. I have made a cut of the Lower Florida region. I have also combined a number of Maptech Marine charts into a single map which goes from the Dry Tortegas all the way up to North Miami. I have don the same with 1:24,000 scale Topo maps as well. So it looks like I am in for a busy Week. Not too sure what my wife will think :P

No, not King Map. Mapopolis ! www.mapopolis.com
We have reviewed King Map ( PaPaGO ) a while ago, and you can take the links from there if you really want to ignore my advice.

According to www.mapblast.com:
Start: Orlando, Florida, United States
End: Key West, Florida, United States
Total Distance: 398.3 Miles
Estimated Total Time: 6 hours, 44 minutes
I would be wary of the timing though. There have been times when I have got from Orlando to Key Largo in about 3.5 hours and others when it has taken 5 hours. Key west is a further 100 miles from Key Largo.
