    And this better than Anquet or Memory Map in what way????

    Can you point me at a sample of the aerial photography - say around
    Kintail or Skye?

  3. Unlike some competitor products the software is able to generate Frames Per
    Second of between 20-30 (and above) on an average PC, even with the whole of
    Great Britian loaded giving a seamless and un-clipped experience of movement
    and view. Price may also be a consideration.

    Aerial photography is not currently available for Scotland, but will be
    released when it becomes available.

    Samples of aerial photography are available on the web site.

    Thank you for your interest.

    Can it export routes to a GPS (eg Garmin)?

    Tom,

    No, it doesn't have a GPS interface.

    Will it give the OS grid reference for a point on the map? To what
    accuracy?

    Philip,

    It sounds like what is really required is a demo version, so we can try it out. All the other
    programs allow this (tracklogs, anquet, memory map) with a very small region of map so any chance
    that you can do one for your program?

    Firstly - genuine thanks for the criticism of the admittedly lousy HTML on
    the site - well founded. It'll teach me to believe the Microsoft claims -
    Wysiwyg indeed. Perhaps PNG wasnt the best choice for picture format either.

    Again thanks for the site-bashing ; a wake up call for me to make it more
    compatible (too long in a Microsoft corporate environment you see).

    I will be uploading a mozilla compatible version within the next few days.

    I'll also organised a watermarked demo for download from the site.
