WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Turn Your Windows Mobile Smartphone into an Outdoor Atlas
AMESBURY, Mass., Feb. 22 -- Some of us plan our outdoor
escapes while others like to wing it without much preparation. In both cases,
having a detailed map or chart is a big advantage -- both for navigation and
safety. Now, individuals can have maps on their cell phones. Maptech's Outdoor
Navigator for Windows Mobile Smartphone ( http://www.outdoornavigator.com )
has more than 60,000 off-road maps and boating charts for $19.95.
Benefits:
Better safety: Maybe you're like Daniel Boone, who once claimed, "I was
never lost, but I was bewildered once for three days." Mark Jadkowski, VP of
Business Development, says, "That line gets laughs every time, but talk to
someone who got lost, even if it was for just an hour or two, and you will see
just how unnerving it really is. With Outdoor Navigator on a Smartphone you
not only have the right maps and charts to know where you are, but, if needed,
you can now call and tell your location."
Great value: Most serious and experienced outdoor adventurers know the
value of taking the right off-road maps with them. But this is not always
convenient and can be costly. The recognized standards for off-road adventure
are USGS topos. But a single map can cost $4 to $6. With Outdoor Navigator you
get thousands of these same maps for your Smartphone for $20. Paper nautical
charts sell for around $20 each and Outdoor Navigator has 2,300 of them.
Highlights:
Outdoor Navigator works on Windows Mobile Smartphone, Pocket PCs and
Palm devices.
Priced at $19.95, Outdoor Navigator has no subscription fees.
Download as many U.S. off-road maps and boating charts as you want at no
additional cost.
Free trial at http://www.outdoornavigator.com .
Connect an optional Bluetooth GPS (about $120) to show your position on
the map.
Computer Requirements: Windows 2000/XP PC. The PC is used to download maps
from outdoornavigator.com and transfer them to the handheld device.
Smartphone Requirements: Windows Mobile for Smartphone 2002 or 2003 or
later. A memory card is not required but is recommended. GPS is optional. If
GPS is desired, Bluetooth GPS is recommended.
