** OUTDOOR MAPS **
Research place before you go out there by checking out our beautiful, full-color raster maps.

•View five different map types: streets, hybrid, aerial, topo, and terrain.

•Access more than 68,000 topographic maps in U.S. and Canada. Topos scales are 1:24K in the Lower 48, 1:63K in Alaska and 1:50K in Canada.

•See two maps at once. No single map type has all the essential details to plan your next outing. So turn on Dual Map View and fade between two different map types at once.

** TRIP TOOLS **
The GPS Maps app features a quiver of tools to help you find that trophy buck or catch the big one.

Waypoints: Drop-and-drag waypoints on to the map. Name them and add descriptions, whether it’s a boat dock, fishing hotspot, or deer camp.

Place Search: Looking for new lakes brimming with bass, or that hidden meadow full of elk? Use our search to find more than 10 million places. Find trails, peaks, lakes, rivers, forests, and more.

Digital Compass: Press the mini-compass to overlay a large digital compass on the map. See compass bearing and declination too.

Ruler: Need to find out the distance from deer camp to hunting stand? It’s easy to measure the distance between any two points.

Smart Paste: Copy GPS coordinates from hunting and fishing websites and instantly map their locations into GPS Maps.

Coordinates: Match your latitude/longitude or UTM coordinates to your paper map, GPS device, or Recon app. Supported map datum: WGS84 and NAD27.

Any Device: See trips planned in GPS Maps on your smartphone and personal computer at the Trimble GPSHuntFish website. Trips are saved to your account and can be viewed on these other devices.

NOTES: Trimble GPS Maps is designed and optimized for iPads. It works on both the Wifi and 3G models but the Wifi models lack a GPS chip required to show your exact location.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
