Garmin Bluecharts/Mapsource are great programs. I use them to put numbers in for fishing/diving and also for driving and distance tracking. You have to buy the programs. I know the boat stores sell it. The nice thing about mapsource is that you can plug numbers in on your GPS then (if you have a memory card) plug it into your computer and see everything from your GPS on your computer...you can do the reverse and go from numbers from your computer and plug the chip in a put it on your GPS. I have always hated having to type numbers in twice for you computer and your GPS, but mapsourse and memory card have gotten rid of that problem!!!

Another program you can download is EasyGPS.com. I've never used it though, and it doesn't show bottom info...it just sets up tracks and distances.
