CompeGPS POCKET FEATURES

CompePocket Main Features

 VECTOR MAPS:  Can open maps in MPV format. CompeGPS PC can convert several vector maps formats, like DXF, DWG, E00, etc, to MPV.

  RASTER  MAPS: CompeGPS can open raster maps o format .IMP and .MAP. The images files must be of format .BMP or .ECW.  We recommend the ECW format for this program.  We tested it with a ECW of a size of 10.000 x 9000 pixels. BMP are also good: They need a lot of disk memory, but they do not use memory when they are loaded.

  DEM (DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL) MAPS: CompeGPS can open DEM maps. So it can calculate the altitude of  new waypoints and routes.

 CompePocket can open two maps at the same time.

 CompePocket can read  tracks, routes and Waypoints, like the PC version program.

  It can also download tracks, waypoints and routes from the GPS.  Can also send them to the GPS.

  Can work with multipoint - routes.

 The main menu and the buttons can be completely configured from CompeGPS PC.

Map View

  The PocketPC keyboard can be used for panning and for zooming.

  Displays different context menus, depending on the map object you click.

  Zoom In, Zoom Out buttons.

  100% Zoom button, View all button.

 You can Zoom Window or move the map view using the stylus.

 Finds Maps at current position.

Moving Map

  Works with NMEA and Garmin PVT protocols.  The 'auto-detect' protocol will detect for you the protocol your GPS is using.

  Loads the best map for the current position.

  Can activate a route, and navigate  though it.

  Can Navigate through routes, with sound effects.

  Can display different values, like speed, bearing, etc. You can configure which values to display.

  If the route you are following has altitudes, it can display al altitude - distance graph, and show you your position in this graph. This works great with multipoint routes.

(In this example, the blue line is a route. The route altitude graph is shown in the button of the screen, and your position is the vertical red line)

  You can program an alarm for any moving map parameter, for example, speed or altitude. In this example,  the alarm will sound if your altitude is less than 1520m.

Communications with CompeGPS LAND and AIR

  From CompeGPS, there are new options in the Track, Waypoint and route context menus, called 'Send to CompePocket'. This way, with two clicks, you can send any CompeGPS object to the PDA.

  From CompeGPS, you can open a map, select a rectangle on it, and send this part of the map to the PDA. You can also send a whole map. CompeGPS converts the map to ECW, and sends it to CompePocket.

  In the CompeGPS Communication Menu, there is an option to download tracks, waypoints and routes from CompePocket.

Other features

  You can create and edit tracks and routes.

  Complete communications with the GPS, to donwload and send tracks, waypoints and routes.

	CompeGPS AIR-POCKET FEATURES

  CompeGPS AIR-Pocket, is a special version of CompePocket for air-sports users. It includes all the features of the CompeGPS LAND-Pocket, plus this:

Thermals MAPS

  CompeGPS shows in the map the track point with good elevation rate.

  CompeGPS displays a thermal turning diagram,

Transition DEM

  When you are gliding straight, CompeGPS can draw you a altitude-distance graph, using the elevation data, and your actual gliding ratio, so it calculates the distance you will be able to fly before landing:
