You could make one but you'd have some problems with it. On a hiking trail you're in a small area, a trail for instance. Well the GPS available to civilians isn't that accurate because the government doesn't want you flying missles to places useing GPS. The error is about a hundred feet I think so you'd have a problem if you were relying on that to navigate. The military can use GPS to pinpoint their location to about 3 feet.

There is a FAQ page at Marcosoft under the mapping software product link. They talk about planned upgrades like marking up a map and route planning.

Also, check out http://www.sammysoft.com they review all of the Palm mapping software and rates Quo Vadis the best for the palm.
