Well, I haven't used PhotoMap, so I can't comment on it.  However, with =
quakemap, I can comment.

You have the ability to communicate with your GPS to upload/download =
waypoints/routes/tracks, as well as import .loc (gc.com created only for =
some reason), .gpx files and .wpt files.  They are then plotted on =
terraserver provided sat images, and each cache is independently =
hyperlinked to its respective cache.  From each cache listed, you can =
'find' the closest geocaches, which brings up the gc.com page with those =
caches listed.  Soon, there will be direct PDA interaction.

It's free.  You can also download and view over sat images recent =
earthquakes in any given area terraserver has satellite photos of.  Oh, =
and it's written by a geocacher.

This may get some heated discussion going. <grin>

  Anyone care to list the strengths and weaknesses comparing these two =
products? I'm interested in trying one of them, but I don't have the =
time to play Consumer Reports with them. Which do you like better, and =
why?

  And does anyone know what, if anything, you get for the pay version of =
QuakeMap that the free version doesn't have? And how much it costs? The =
web site doesn't seem to be particularly forthcoming on either of those =
points.

  Thanks,

  Steve
