GPS Navigator with using a scanned maps and possibility to open a lot of maps together.- you can show a current GPS data (Speed, Direction, Longitude, Latitude, Time, Date, Height); - you can open any of scanned maps (in a "bmp" or "dib" format); - you can calibrate the scanned maps yourself by two calibration points only (left-top and right-bottom); - calibrations are stored automatically for every map, you do not need to calibrate a map next time; - you can see your route line and speed direction at the map;

How to use it:
-connect your GPS device to your computer by the com
-port;
-open a Properties Dialog and set you comport's name and a Bits Rate (for example: COM1, 4800);
-you will see your position point at the World Map.
-open any scanned map file in a bmp or dib format;
-point by mouse to the left
-top point at the map, where you know the coordinats of that point (where coordinate lines are crossed, or where you have measured a coordinates yourself by your GPS device);
-press a right mouse button and input coordinates for that point;
-make the same for a right
-bottom point anywhere at the map;
-now your scanned map is calibrated and you will see your position, speed direction and route line at it;
-menu "View / Clear calibration Points" for new calibration of a current map;
-use a button "Show Route Line" for siwtch on/off of showing a Route Line;
-use a button "Show GPS Data" for open a GPS Data window;

Hints:
-you can open a lot of scanned maps, GPS Data, World Maps together;
-default settings for comport: COM1, bits per second: 4800, data bits: 8, parity: none, stop bits: 1, flow control: hardware;
-use Property Dialog for setting a comport (Name and Bits per second) and refresh time for active map;
-maximize a GPS Data window to show a speed and direction as a big symbols (when you are sailing
