try looking at PCDraft and Terrain Navigator. Garmin gps directly connects
to Terrain Nav and the image from terrain nav can be brought into pcdraft as
a tif image, it can then be grouped and resized. might work with
orthophotos,too. Terrain Nav professional includes the orthophotos, I think
and state plane coords. This is not a real gis but a poor, dirt foresters
gis. for less than $750 I'll bet you can get the gps receiver and both
software applications. ddm
