Consider Microsoft Mappoint 2006 with GPS, Your requirements are more into the GIS (Geographical Information Systems) area. A more professional program is the ESRI Arcview, ArcGIS programs. Mappoint can be purchased from http://www.academicsuperstore.com/ for  $ 119.95. The ESRI is $99.00 and it is truely a professional system and for a fee you can take classes on their web site and get certified.

Before you spend $120 on Mappoint consider the Microsoft Donated software program. Availalbe for both CAP purchase or member use for $12 as in twelve dollars

6. You have four choices:
  a. software that includes the maps and all one has to do is turn on the computer, start the program and connect the GPS.  Examples are DeLorme Street Atlas and TopoUSA,  Maptech Terrain Navigator Pro, Microsoft Streets & Trips and National Geographic Topo!

Streets & Trips is available for $2 per license thru the Microsoft Donated Software program- if that is the program you want to use- our ES guys prefer Delorme to get our guys carrying around a Atlas to be on the same page as the laptop guys.

Microsoft, Adobe, and others donate software for use by 501c3 non-profits (CAP).
There are restrictions ie minimum and maximum orders, and each company has there own rules for the software/ hardware they donate. CAP qualifies for the Microsoft, Adobe and Symantec programs- but not the program for Cisco hardware

This is a link to their website

This is a link to their current catalog and prices.
