Garmin MapSource This (free) package was officially superseded by BaseCamp some years ago but is still available for download and can still be useful – particularly for correcting, joining, splitting and otherwise modifying tracks. The bug is reported to be corrected in MacOS version 4.8.9. Do not use the later Windows versions (eg 4.7.0 & 4.7.2) as, due to a bug, they won’t allow uploads of custom maps.

The most recent bug-free version of the software is 4.6.2 which can be found here. Sadly, several of the most useful original features, such as Garmin’s cloud based data storage facility and adventure sharing, have now (2019) been discontinued and all development has ceased. User-scanned custom maps and OpenStreetMap derived basemaps can be displayed – the former as overlays. The software allows maps, routes, tracks and waypoints to be transferred between a Garmin GPS and a PC. It is available in Windows and MacOS versions, but not Linux. Garmin BaseCamp This (free) software is aimed at owners and users of Garmin GPS receivers. Standalone software that can often be of use includes: When using this site it’s useful to know that the appearance of the line used to display a route is directly related to the CAI’s scale of difficulty as follows: Standalone software packages A simple, clear and focussed front end to OpenStreetMap which displays walking routes in a particularly accessible format is – highly recommended. Those interested in footpaths are better served by the cloud-based OpenStreetMap which is far easier to use, more up-to-date and more readily comprehensible (though often less accurate and somewhat inconsistent).

The monolithic nature of QGIS and its reliance on a high speed internet connection means that it is not well suited to many applications. For example, the footpath data relate to 2005 and incorporate only a tiny fraction of the waymarked paths observable on the ground.

Hence a fast internet connection is required if the constant redrawing of images on the screen is not to become tedious and tiring.īe warned that the Toscana GIS data have not been updated since they were originally uploaded, and to claim they were incomplete would be a considerable understatement.

Furthermore, the data cannot be downloaded for use offline – instead they must be viewed in real time online. Be aware, though, that no data are provided with QGIS – to make it useful one must link up to the Toscana WMS database (available here). The learning curve is very steep, but once mastered there is little that QGIS is not capable of. This software (which is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD & Android) is extremely powerful and comprehensive, especially when used in conjunction with third party plug-ins. To view the GIS data the most widely used free application is QGIS (previously known as Quantum GIS) which may be downloaded here. This includes information on flood plains, the distribution of flora and fauna, population density, earthquake susceptibility, footpaths etc all superimposed on monochrome maps and/or aerial photographs of the regions concerned. In response to an EU initiative (Directive 2007/2/EC), each region of Italy has produced Geographical Information System (GIS) data which can be accessed online. The prime tourist areas (such as the Alps) are well documented, but the Apennines much less so. The quality of printed maps available in Italy varies enormously depending on the geographical area covered.
