Cartography and Database differences from Terrain Navigator Pro U.S. Regions

• Maptech created the Iraq maps using source data from LeadDog Consulting. This region does not contain any USGS maps or aerial photos.
• The 1:250,000 scale maps have been "pre-shaded" to show elevation. Viewing these maps in 3-D will not produce the desired effect.
• This region does not contain a street address and zip code database.

GPS Ready

Real Time Positioning
