Q: As I only wish to use the trench maps, can I run LinesMan Western Front 1915-1918 1:20,000 without having to purchase any other map sets?
A: Yes.  All the individual packaged map sets will function as standalone products. However, using LinesMan Western Front 1915-1918 1:20,000 on its own, you will not be able to access 3D terrain modelling features or access any modern mapping and height data information.

Q: What is meant by the term 'geo-referenced'?

This unique function also allows easy access to all trench maps and permits simple navigation between maps on screen without the need to refer back to a map index.

Q: Are the maps available via digital download direct to a mobile device?
A:  Yes, the DMS - Digital Map Store version of LinesMan 10 Western Front 1915-1918 is a full digital download product. All other products are currently available on our USB product and require installation on a computer before copying the maps to a mobile device. 

Q: Is the product useable on a PC/laptop and hand held device?
A: Yes, the full system is designed for and operates on a PC/laptop and maps can be downloaded to a GPS enabled smartphone or tablet PC that supports the Memory-Map application.

Q: Why do the 3D and Relief features not function?
A: Access to height data for 3D terrain modelling is only available with the LinesMan Western Front 1915-1918 products.  All other map set products cannot access the 3D functions unless they are used in conjunction with the LinesMan Western Front 1915-1918 product.  This function is also unavailable for all map sets when downloaded to smartphone and tablet PC devices.

Q: How do I test the GPS when I am in the UK ?
