+Team Paradise Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Memory-Map have released v3.16 (previous was 3.11). This upgrade is downloadable from here. If you can see the 'light at the end of the tunnel', it's usually a train coming ! Quote Link to comment
The Cuthberts Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Is this software any good? I notice that we are on the boundary between regions 1 and 2 for the aerial photography so it would be quite an initial expense. I have had a look at the demo but it didn't allow GPS functions to work Andy Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Memory Map works very nicely for me thank you. It is expensive but it is very nice to be able to set up a route by hitting a number of waypoints on a 50,000 OS plan and transfer them straight into the GPSr or conversely to upload a track from the GPSr and see just where you went. I can't say I've lashed out for the photomaps yet so don't know how good they are though the demo looks good. There is competition in the market with the names of Anquet and Fugawi springing to mind but not tried by me - others might be able to compare.

Ariel photos looked very useful... software looked great. We live on the border of 4 ariel photography zones if memory serves... so it would be expensive for us too! Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I have MemoryMap Navigator with 1:50,000 OS maps for all the UK mainland and Ariel photgraphs for all of England and Wales. I don't have any experience of Anquet or Fugawi but I recon MM would be hard to beat. I print out a chunk of OS map to go with each cache sheet (I don't have a hand held thingy). Its much easier to glance at an A4 sheet with a map enlarged 3 or 4 times on it when you're driving than to try looking at a large folded map.

+Grynneman Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Bought MM Navigator about 6 months ago, and it's worked out quite well. Never used the aerial photos part, never had a need. It's an excellent bit of software, we took a laptop with us on holiday to Cornwall and used it to annotate finds (we also had the paper OS:25000 maps with us), also helped us out of a few traffic jams as well, with the gps plugged in. We've now upgraded to an IPAQ, and installed the Pocket Navigator software that comes with the full blown PC Navigator. We download the Ebooks that come with pocket queries, and use Mobipocket to read the cache pages. The only drawbacks are that at the moment, you can only get down to OS:50000 maps (Anquet has Harveys 25000 scale maps). (now if can just strap a bluetooth gps receiver to the top of my head, I can transmit the coords to the pda without any messy wires ). Quote Link to comment
The Cuthberts Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Mrs Cuthbert was rather lenient on me when the postman rang to get the delivery signed last Thursday. What a fantastic bit of software although I am restricted to the South for the moment until I pay off the credit card ! Now for the question...... I can overlay the GC:UK cache locations onto the desktop but the documentation is a bit sketchy when it comes to doing a similar thing on the PDA. Can anyone help me on this ?

+Nobby Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Downloading waypoints to the PDA is a doddle. Load them up in the desktop version of Memeory map, then from the menu at the top, select 'PDA' then 'Export Data to PDA...' That's it! Hope this helps. Regards Simon (Nobby) Quote Link to comment
The Cuthberts Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Doh !! Thanks Nobby.... I was copying the file directly to the data directory on the PDA and expecting MM to pick it up !! Congrats on your ton BTW. Andy Quote Link to comment
