GPS/PDA Devices

Great War Digital have sought to bring you the most complete archive possible of the Trench Maps of the Great War of 1914-1918.

LinesMan will function quite happily on your PC as a versatile Trench Map viewing medium, which allows you to choose which edition/date of map that you wish. However, in order to make the most of the functionality that we have made available, your experience can be enhanced by using LinesMan on one of the many and easily available PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) devices.

These can easily work with GPS (Global Positioning System) to give a real time on screen marker, showing your position on the Trench Map of your choice.

More details on how to use the software can be found on:

We understand that there are many customers who may not feel that this kind of equipment is for them, but we would like to explain quite how easy it can be to use. The PDA Memory Map version installs automatically from the Memory-Map menu (after connecting the device to your PC), and the maps are copied to the PDA from the 'SEND TO PDA' menu option. The PDA screen controls are very simple indeed to use, and the maps swap from one to the next as you walk or drive.

The product will run on a variety of PDA/GPS combinations. We do not stock or sell hardware but hand held PDA/GPS devices must run Windows Mobile to be compatible with LinesMan software. Some compatible devices can be found at:

Fujitsu - Siemens LOOX N560

Trimble Juno SB
