Freedom to go anywhere on the map.

Fugawi is an affordable, feature-packed software that locates your exact position on land or sea.

FUGAWI is a complete navigational system that makes powerful use of the extraordinary GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM. With FUGAWI, you easily create accurate digital maps from any scanned map or existing map database (ie. BSB MARINE CHARTS or USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS). Then, in real-time navigation mode, your exact position is displayed on the map as you move and new maps are automatically loaded as you travel to new areas. North American customers receive detailed street maps of the entire USA as well as the nautical Region 1 Planning Charts on CD. Users outside of North America receive a World Geographic Names CD with over 6.7 million names.

FUGAWI also brings you all the convenience of computer mapping without having to carry it on your travels. You simply position waypoints and routes on your map with a click of the mouse and then upload them to your GPS receiver for use out in the field. Upon returning to your base, you can download added waypoints, routes and tracks onto the digital maps for analysis.

FUGAWI is a feature-packed program that is used by major international organizations and the armed forces in critical applications. Please see also Fugawi Military or Fugawi/Lockheed CITS.
