Maps for your PDA.
Outdoor Navigator for handhelds gives you topo maps
and marine charts covering the entire continental
United States. Connect a GPS receiver, and you'll have a
powerful moving map displaying the most accurate and
detailed maps available. Pocket PC and Palm Powered
handhelds have bright touch screens that display maps in

1-Year
Subscription - How it works
Outdoor Navigator is like a subscription to an online
music service, but instead of downloading songs you gain
access to over 60,000 USGS topo maps and NOAA charts -
all on Maptech's outdoornavigator.com website. Download
all the maps you want, when you need them. Since it
covers the entire continental United States, it's a
perfect solution for a mobile, outdoor lifestyle. When
the subscription ends, any maps you've downloaded
continue working.
USGS Topo Maps
USGS topographic maps are the recognized standard for
off-road navigation. Other GPS units display crude maps
with little detail. A Palm Powered handheld with Outdoor
Navigator displays digital maps with the detail required
for serious professional and recreational use.
NOAA Nautical Charts
Turn your handheld into a chartplotter with digital NOAA
charts. NOAA charts are the standard for safe navigation
and nothing else compares in accuracy and detail.
