I'm using a freebie called Waypoint+ to download waypoint and track
info from my 195. I don't have a map package, but according to the
doc this will overlay track and waypoint data to Delorme Street Atlas
and Map Expert.
Since I don't have a map package, my tracks and waypoint are
displayed on a plain white screen with lat/lon grids. Since it
displays my user waypoints on this screen, I can get a good idea of
where I am.
If you're going to use this for a limited number of instrument
approaches, I'd program some user waypoints that matched the actual
aviation database waypoints that you'll be using. That way they're
displayed in relation to your track on the plain white screen. It's a
cheap*******(tm) way of getting meaningful track displays without
having to buy map software.
