I have recently needed to convert graphics information into data that I could feed into another program. This program of was of great help since, all I needed to do was scan the graphics into a BMP, and then feed that BMP file into this application and out can the data. I know this does not happen very often any more, but believe when you are faced with situation you do not want to be looking at the graph and trying to figure out what the data associated with the graph is going to be.

The screen shots are really interesting and are located here.

With this application you can even use maps as the data system, so I suppose you could actually draw a course on a map, and then work out how many feet you would climb up and down in elevation while taking the hike. I could have used this with my scouts!

The application Web site appears to be a blank so I am including several links here and here.
