Pocket Hardware - GPS & PND
Devices for Anquet
There are two types of device:
- PND devices for Pocket Anquet
These allow the transfer of maps and
routes to units called PND (Personal Navigation
Devices). These are the emerging breed of PDA and mobile phones
with inbuilt GPS technology. They not only support Pocket Anquet
but also support other applications such as TomTom, multimedia and
internet browsing.
- GPS Devices
These are the traditional but dedicated outdoor units. They allow
Anquet v1/v06 toexchange routes,
waypoints &
tracks with them but not
maps. These GPS devices may have inbuilt vector (line drawn) maps
which range in quality and detail and are usually not as rich as
Ordnance Survey raster (pictorial) maps.
Most outdoor users plan their routes on Anquet v06 and then
transfer the route (and maps if using Pocket Anquet) to the above
devices. Planning on the PC gives a wider view of your map to make
planning routes across distances more satisfying and enjoyable. You
are also able to download routes from the internet or Anquet's
database.
