Map Road Angel Adventurer 7000

Memory-Map commissioned mobile software especially for this product which sets it apart from almost every other device on the market. The Adventurer is stylish, waterproof and robust. Above all, it shows what walkers dream of: their position and movement on a real OS map. OK, the functionality is less than could be expected on an outdoor GPS, and you do have to conserve battery life; however, this is more than made up for by being able to navigate with a moving map in the palm of your hand.
