Boasting over 60,000 off-road maps and boating charts for the entire US, optional Bluetooth support, for a low one time fee of $19.95. The following is taken from the press release.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050216-MapTech.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br /><i>"Most serious and experienced outdoor adventurers know the value of taking the right off-road maps with them. But this is not always convenient and can be costly. USGS (United States Geological Survey) topo maps are the recognized standard for off-road adventures because they give you the complete map detail. This gives you an understanding of the lay of the land and allows you to assess your ability to meet whatever challenge you plan. But a single map can cost anywhere from $4 to $6. With Outdoor Navigator you get thousands of these same maps for your Smartphone for under $20. The same value is present with nautical charts where comparable paper charts sell for around $20 each. Outdoor Navigator includes 2,300 boating charts."</i>
