Author: Scott Powell (of Evolutionary Systems Pty Ltd.)
Email: support@evolutionary.net
Version: 1.6e (ShareWare)
Date: 12/05/1998
Installation Notes
------------------
Simply use 'instapp.exe' to install the 'map.prc' (and the '.pdb' files)
onto your pilot.
NOTE: If you have the standard verson of HandMap this will 'replace'
it when installed on your Pilot.
There are also the following 'plugin' modules included. These are
unique to the Pro version, but in themselves are optional (you
don't have to install any of them):
gps-plugin.prc - GPS Tracker
exch-plugin.prc - HandMap Exchange
NOTE: TRG super-pilot owners; Fatal Errors have been noticed when
the plugin modules are loaded into ROM. Load them into RAM only.
Instructions & Guide

This program is a full featured electronic street directory. You can zoom
in and out and pan around looking at the map of the city installed. You can
search for features like parks, street names, etc. You can also create your
own custom landmarks (Places), and travel routes.
