any serious student of the Great War, military historians, researchers,
tour companies, regimental archives, local history researchers, etc
etc, this product is an absolute must." A full review by Dave O'Mara can be found at Paths of Glory

GPS: In the first ever application of historic data to a modern Satellite Navigation system, we bring you GPS compatibility. The system will return the user's real time position over the Great War trench maps, on either PC or on PDA device.
IGN / NGI: We have joined with our partners, Memory-Map, who provide a tried, tested and reliable software platform used the world over by pilots, ships and motorists, by combining trench maps with Memory-Map's navigation system for Northern France. The trench maps benefit from fabulous functionality, that allows interface with multiple layers of modern 1:25,000 IGN mapping and aerial photography. We are pleased to advise that the functionality described above for IGN mapping and aerial photography is now available for Belgium with 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 NGI mapping and black and white aerial photography.
3D Views: At the touch of a button, within the areas of the product purchased. The digital terrain model combines with the WW1 trench maps to produce stunning 3D battlefield views that can be spun and moved through at will.
Relief Maps: We have further enhanced the trench maps, by producing Relief Shaded Maps, unique to LinesMan, that give an entirely new and informative view of the WW1 Western Front battlefield.
