Description
Guide Review - Maptech Pocket NavigatorI've been using a handheld GPS in the woods for about five years now, without mapping capabilities. I have also used Maptech Terrain Navigator software, which is very handy indeed. Combining the two and creating a GPS that projects your position right there on the screen, over a topo map -- well, it's one of the best things to happen to GPS and mapping technologies in recent years. I found Pocket Navigator to be very accurate in displaying my position in relation to the dirt roads in my hunting woods. While it lost signal more often than my Garmin and is less conveniently-shaped, Pocket Navigator in an iPAQ and GPS sleeve still did pretty well. This innovation by Maptech is impressive, but not surprising -- Maptech is often impressive. Suggested Reading |
