Pocket Navigator Software Features

Memory-Map's Pocket Navigator (included with Memory-Map Discoverer, Navigator or Professional) provides almost all the features of the desktop PC product on your PDA.

View maps & charts, plan your trip, and print hard copies on your PC or laptop.

Select exactly the area of maps you want to send the PDA: The whole map (up to 500MB), just the visible portion, or any size/shape polygon.

View the maps full-screen, or with Toolbars.

Drag the map with the stylus or your finger to scroll. Zoom using the programmable buttons or the toolbar. The map is responsive and updates very quickly.

Devices with a hi-res VGA screen are supported, as is landscape mode and square screen devices.

Connect a GPS with serial port cable, CF/SDIO card, or Bluetooth. Some Pocket PCs are available now with built-in GPS.

Protect the Pocket PC from the elements with a rugged Otterbox or waterproof Aquapac.

Plan routes and view elevation profile on the Pocket PC.

Record Tracklog, showing where you went, what time you were there, and your speed at each point on the track.

Connect the serial port to a Garmin or Magellan GPS for waypoint/route programming and tracklog import.

Velocity vector: Provides a quick visual check of where you’ll be if you continue the current course and speed for a given time. Enables you to quickly assess whether your current course could lead to a potential hazard.

Email: One click email support to send or receive routes, marks, tracklogs or your current position.

Chart / Map selection with Keyword search: Add your own Keywords to the charts and maps you use to make them easier to find on your system.  

Auto Chart Select: Automatically selects the best chart for a given GPS position.

Lock on to GPS: Automatically selects the most appropriate chart, then as you move, keeps your current position in the center of the screen whilst the map scrolls.  Provides a constant view of your current position and surrounding area.

Distance from current position: Simply clicking on the map will show the distance and bearing from your current position.  Enables fast cross checking of your position with a compass using bearings from known landmarks.

Alternate Map Views: Enables you to have two alternate views of the same map at different locations and/or zoom levels. Useful for a high level and detailed view of your current position or to toggle between start and end points of a route.

Night Colors: A menu option switches the display to lower intensity night colors to preserve night vision in low light surroundings.

Anchor and Proximity Alarm: Sound a warning beep or play a linked file when you are too close to or too far away from a point.
