Uses full size Topo maps, processed by Prosurv Imaging including 1:24000 (7.5' Quadrangle), 1:100,000, and 1:250,000 Scale Maps.  A lossless (png) file compression is used, resulting in small file sizes without any loss of quality.  Typical map sizes are 3 to 4MB per Topo Map, once processed.  Easily store 150 to 170 topo maps per 512MB RAM!  For comparison, Yellowstone National Park is made up of about 80 Topo Maps.

Connects to your GPS receiver for Real-time viewing of your location on the Quad.  Supports Bluetooth® GPS Devices, and most any GPS Receiver with NMEA Data Output

Automatically switches between Quads as you walk or drive, based on the current GPS position

Automatic Centering on GPS - Turn GPS Centering on or off.  When off, Pan around the map by dragging the stylus or holding down the 4 direction key (up/down/left/right)

Allows you to Load a Quad Sheet Manually - Great when using a "Big Topo Map" that you created using All Topo Maps software

Feature Name Searches - Supports the USGS's GNIS Databases!  Search for a place, such as Old Faithful from thousands of records.  Finds all matching records.  Select the one you want and tap the Load button to load the Quad sheet that contains that feature automatically!  The feature is automatically centered on the screen.

Radial Feature Name Searches - Search for Features by Radius from a screen tap or your GPS position.  Just select a Designation (Feature Type) from the drop-down list, such as Airport, School, Stream, Lake, Tower, Summit etc...  Then enter a radius such as 10 miles (supports miles, feet, km's, meters).  Pocket Quads will search for all matching features within that radius.  Select the closest or view them all.  Step through each matching record, one by one, to find the one you want.  Then tap the Load button to automatically load the Quad sheet and display the feature!

Import Points - Allows you to import point lists into your current job file.  Format is Point#,Northing,Easting,Elevation,Description

Plot Imported Points - Automatically plots your imported points on the screen, when the Quad containing that point is displayed

Export All Data - Export all your Pocket Quads Data, over a dozen fields (columns) of data per point.  View in Notepad or Excel and bring data in to virtually any other software

Export For All Topo Maps - Output is a simple Lat,Long text file for easy copy/paste into All Topo Maps Annotations

Enter Points - Add new points to your job file by Northing and Easting or Latitude/Longitude.  Enter Lat/Long in Decimal or DMS format.  Displays entered points on the topo map automatically

Settings - Image Zone is set automatically (such as UTM12), or select the image zone manually.  Your job zone can be different from the image zone, such as Wyoming West Central.  All zones are NAD83 in Pocket Quads.NET (Prosurv Imaging allows NAD27 and automatically converts maps to NAD83 when processing for Pocket Quads.NET).  Select Meters, US Foot, or International Foot units.  Turn Sound on/off.  Select whether to automatically load quad sheets based on GPS position (on by default).

• Tap to View points - tap a point on the screen to view it's data
• Tap Distance - tap two locations on the screen to see a distance between them.  Finds points automatically within a certain area of the tapped location
• Tap Data - Lat/Long and Coordinates are displayed as you tap around the screen

• 1:24,000 Scale
• 1:100,000 Scale
• 1:250,000 Scale

• User - Set the zoom to whatever you'd like it to be, down (down to the "lowest zoom") or up
• Lowest Zoom - Computes the lowest zoom possible for that map, typically about 39%
• 50%
• 75%
• 100%
• 150%
• 200%
• 300%

• Convert between Lat/Long and State Plane or UTM Coordinates
• Clear the Job Registry - start with a new job file the next time you run Pocket Quads.NET
• Load Defaults.txt - Re-load the defaults.txt file
• Quad Path - Set the path to your topo maps quickly and easily, such as \CF Card\Quads\ or \SD Card\Quads\

• Show North/East to the point
• Show Azimuth/Bearing with Distance to the point
• Show information as 'To the Point' or 'From the Point'
• Select a point for navigating by tapping on-screen, or just enter the point
• Navigate to the GPS position of a point (ie the GPS position when the tapped point was created), or navigate to the tapped location of the point
• Navigate to Imported Points
• Arrow reference based on North or Movement.  If based on movement, heading towards the point will show an arrow straight ahead, while heading away from the point will show an arrow pointing down
• Minimize the Navigate screen so you can see the topo map and GPS position.  A large Blue Arrow and North/East or Azimuth/Distance are displayed in a smaller box.
