Amesbury, MA - Oct. 5 /Xpress Press/ - If you own a handheld PDA (a Pocket PC or a Palm) maybe it's time to go exploring. Nothing beats the safety of a great map or chart if you're into hiking, boating, fishing, hunting, off-road exploring, geocatching and more.

Maptech's new Outdoor Navigator gives you a powerful PDA Outdoor Atlas. Use it at home, in the office, or while traveling to imagine or plan your next adventure. Then take it outdoors to get you where you’re going and back again safely. Imagine where you can go with instant access to over 60,000 topographic maps and nautical charts for the continental USA!
