  • Smart phones: several new smart-cell phones that combine Palm OS or Pocket PC OS are promised for the Christmas season.
  • Outdoor Navigator will work on Garmin's iQue (a Palm PDA with a built-in GPS)

Outdoor Navigator - all the maps and charts are GPS Ready - Hi-Tech Outdoor Navigation Made Easy Many users connect their handheld PDA device to a clip-on or wireless GPS so they can see where they are on detailed maps and charts. Maptech's website outlines which GPS accessories work with a variety of PDAs devices. Most outdoor explorers demand detailed maps that are not available on most GPS receivers because they do not have the memory to display rich, colored, detailed maps.

Once you combine a GPS with a PDA a whole new world of exploration opens up. Outdoor Navigator offers the benefits of using detailed maps, previously only available for desktop or laptop computers, now in the palm of your hand.
