Compare Standard GPS Map Data with the Advanced Pocket Navigator/GPS Solution; It's all in the Details - Finally Real Maps and Charts for the Handheld PC
Maptech (Amesbury, MA) releases an elegant all-in-one solution to its Pocket Navigator software by adding a GPS sleeve by NAVMAN for the Compaq iPAQ. The Pocket Navigator/GPS Solution gives you access to detailed USGS topographic maps, NOAA nautical charts and FAA aeronautical charts (sold separately) with a direct GPS hardware integration. Whether you rely on maps and charts for work or recreation the new Pocket Navigator/GPS Solution offers real-time moving map display in your hand showing the highest quality, detailed cartography available. See what it looks like at www.maptech.com.
The intrinsic value of a land map, a nautical chart or aeronautical chart lies in the details. Pocket Navigator allows you to transfer these maps to your Pocket PC. Maps that work in standard GPS receivers do not have the detail that professionals and outdoor enthusiasts require. The difference is huge. For a comparison of what maps and charts look like on popular handheld GPS units and what they look like on Maptech's Pocket Navigator visit www.maptech.com.
