 TOURATECH
QV?
Touratech-QV is a powerful PC-Desktop GPS solution
that now integrates support for creating, viewing, and editing PathAway
Maps, Routes, Tracks, and Points. Touratech also sells maps for
locations all over the world. See http://www.ttqv.com
for more information.
The combination of Touratech QV and PathAway provides
you with a complete navigation solution. Acquire and prepare all
your maps, create your routes, and edit your points, in Touratech
QV. Then, transfer the data to PathAway to take with you on the
road. Once you return from your trip, import all your the new recorded
tracks, and points back into Touratech for easy viewing, and editing.
Other Touratech features are as follows:
- Runs on any Windows 95/98/2000/NT PC or laptop.
- Displays your own scanned in maps, or select from a large
number of ready calibrated map CD-ROMs which QV can open directly.
Map CDs can be obtained for many countries with a great degree
of accuracy, e.g. Africa, Canada, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
- Just by using the mouse you can create Waypoints, routes and
tracks which are automatically stored in the database.
- With the geographic names database you have a powerful tool
to find places which are not marked at all on your map, for
example, or all fountains within a radius of 10km.
- You can print out any section of the map with all the data
on any scale as you wish with your own network of parallels
and meridians up to minute intervals.
- Without cartographic knowledge you can calibrate a map which
contains a grid of degrees of longitude and degrees of latitude.
- As well as that maps support UTM, Swiss and French (IGN) grids.
It also contains more than 60 map projections and more than
140 map facts.
- User defined grids and data can be compiled.
- Maps can be in BMP, PNG, TIFF, GIF, KAP or JPEG format. The
maximum size is limited only by the working memory.
- It is compatible with any GPS receiver which supports the
Garmin protocol, with Lowrance, Eagle and Magellan equipment
and in on-line mode with any NMEA compatible GPS receiver.
- A graphical overview makes managing many maps easier.
- The integrated QV X-plorer is a powerful tool similar to the
Windows Explorer for managing all your data.
