Hi all - a request?

On Fugawi compare the elevation data at
57' 46' 2.11''N

4' 21' 24.88'' E

with the given elevation on the map.

What do you notice?

I don't have MM but if any1 has can they do a comparison?

The coordinate you quote ( correcting E for W on longitude) take you to Beinn Tarsuinn at 2158 ft as shown on the map. Fugawi elevation says 1893ft but I am not surprised by the error.

Don't know if MM is better in this respect.

Thanks RoyC - I thought DTEDs were a bit more accurate than that? Confused

8O

Try Carn na Criche at 57' 42' 22.45 N and 5' 01' 43.31 W

Munro baggers may be disappointed to learn that the paper map elavation of 961 metres has been redifined as 774 metres in Magellan OSGB

Here is a reply from Fugawi:
Fugawi on the PDA only displays in UTM (WGS84) and Lat/Long.
Surprised

Here is a reply from Memory Map
Our Memory-Map software is not restricted lat/lon UTM on a PPC, there are other options available.
First

I think it is beginning to look like a one horse race

I wish I could chack accuracy of elevation data though

I am waiting for a response from OS - maybe they have a view of a particular partnership and a brief to deliver

On Fire

I would like to thank everyone who may have contributed to any of the threads in which I either contributed or had a right good read.

Ooops - sorry Magellan OSGB should read Fugawi OSGB Stop it!

Please accept my apologies for a pretty poor typing error 8O

Since this thread was started there is another product that has entered the market with OS data. Anquet Maps launched their Pocket PC based app early March.

I have received a review copy, but havent been able to take a look at it yet.

Mike - you have turned up trumps again.

I dowloaded sample of Memory Map and new Anquet

While it may be a question of preference with 3D Walk Path a real winner Anquet seems to have a lot of downloadable routes/treks/paths/hikes.

I have ordered Anquet Northern Britain edition

Cheers for the info

Dear Ed

Will Anquet get a title of its own under the topo heading?

Your wish is my command.

I was going to wait until I reviewed Anquet, but I guess that will not happen for a few weeks so here it is.

Perhaps I should add that I bought Anquet OSGB map and gave it installed on the laptop and PPC.

It is a wonderful piece of kit that will compliment any hiking/trekking group

The bagal has landed

I would love to but it is a long way to go for a pint

While all that lovely kit is on display and in good cheerful company think on me (boo hoo?)
