Follow Me is an application that allows you to see where you have been by recalling your tracks. If you have a Bluetooth or Compact Flash GPS attached to your Pocket PC and you either miss or long for the same functions that a handheld GPS like a Garmin or Magellan has, where you can create tracks, watch your position and track back to your start point, or any particular point in your hike, then Follow Me is the application to try.

The latest topographical software product from Maptech is called Outdoor Navigator. This has been available on the Palm platform for a little while now and was recently released for the PocketPC.

It's a simplistic application, but many people when purchasing Pocket PC's and GPS Software want to see their position, and also a compass. Where Am I simplifies this into one screen allowing you to use Where Am I with any GPS Receiver.
