    • Maps always contain errors: Despite the tremendous updating work done by Tele Atlas, it is impossible to have 100% accurate information. Recent changes in correct street directions, new streets or restrictions due to road works are examples of circumstances that may partially invalidate the route calculation made by TwoNav.
  • Page 8: Autonomy

    Even ‘copy/pasting’ files is possible from Windows explorer, it is highly recommended to use CompeGPS Land PC software to manage them. CompeGPS Land allows easily creating, editing and transferring files to TwoNav, becoming a necessary reference to have an advanced control over your outdoor trips.
