It’s a shirt-pocket-sized (4.3×3.4×0.7-inch), 6.6-ounce device with an extremely bright, high-contrast, 4.3-inch, horizontally oriented, LCD screen. You’ll probably still want to run one power cable from the device to a 12-volt outlet (if you have one) to keep the batteries charged (though I was able to operate either device continuously for several hours on internal power). I recently looked at two: an HP iPAQ 310 preloaded with both aviation and ground navigation software, which Control Vision calls the Anywhere Map Travel Companion (or ATC), and a larger (and more powerful) Samsung Q1 ultramobile PC with a higher-end version of Control Vision’s software that runs on Microsoft Windows XP.Įach device has a plug-in USB (Q1) or built-in (ATC) GPS receiver, which eliminates much of the cabling required with earlier Anywhere Map devices. Today, the company offers several versions of its software on a variety of devices. ![]() When I first looked at Anywhere Map, it ran on a Pocket PC and required cable connection to an external GPS the result was a nice (but small) color moving-map display. The higher-end Anywhere Map XP (below) is available on Samsung’s Q1 Ultra.įor years now, Control Vision has offered GPS moving-map software on portable devices based on assorted versions of Microsoft Windows. The ATC comes in a compact package with a horizontally oriented screen (above).
