Default Map software Windows 8.1
I got a Win 8.1 Tablet and a G-Sat Bluetooth GPS receiver, now I'm trying to figure out map software that will work for trails. Back Country Navigator doesn't work on Windows. Any recommendations?

CoPilot (streets) or maybe MyTopo?

Maybe an Android emulator for your windows tablet? Think Back Country Navigator was an android app if memory serves right.

Looks like an Android emulator is the best option.
Thanks all

Sounds like your choice of tablet is haunting you. W8 is not ready for users. W8 is just not mainstream yet. Sorry.
