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?

Fugawi on PPC does not display OSGB grid references?
I read it in a forum - i am in a state of shock
i am going to sit down for a little while

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? |

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.
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.
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
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.
Pocket GPS? You are the tops for me

Ooops - sorry Magellan OSGB should read Fugawi OSGB
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 Barrett |

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. _________________ Mike Barrett |

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?)
