Maptech (Amesbury, MA) – If you own a handheld PDA (a Pocket PC or a Palm) maybe it's time to go exploring. Nothing beats the safety of a great map or chart if you're into hiking, boating, fishing, hunting, off-road exploring, geocatching and more.
Maptech's new Outdoor Navigator gives you a powerful PDA Outdoor Atlas. Use it at home, in the office, or while traveling to imagine or plan your next adventure. Then take it outdoors to get you where you’re going and back again safely. Imagine where you can go with instant access to over 60,000 topographic maps and nautical charts for the continental USA!
Outdoor Navigator offers a greater level of safety to explore new places with confidence and the peace of mind that you have detailed maps or charts. Instead of just a couple of paper maps stuffed in your pocket, Outdoor Navigator gives you 1000s of maps in full-color and in perfect condition on your handheld. Use it with a pocket compass or GPS.
Whether you're an active adventurer or an armchair explorer the first step starts with a great map. Outdoor Navigator opens a new hi-tech door to the outdoors. It's easy to use and handy as your trusty pocketknife and makes mapping a lot of fun, as well as adding a new level of safety to any adventure.
