Welcome
The takwak tw700 is a rugged outdoor navigation de-
vice which is also a fully-featured Android™ smart-
phone. In addition, it has a built-incf 8-channel 0.5
Watt PMR446-band walkie talkie. Furthermore, it is
dust resistant and waterproof (IP57) and has a resistive
touch screen that is designed for use outdoors and can
be used while you are wearing gloves.
The tw700 comes bundled with Android™ apps from
takwak. For more information see
“takwak Software
Suite” on page 19. You can also install a wide range of
additional Android™ apps depending on your person-
al requirements.
Electronic devices are no substitute for sensible prepa-
ration of an outdoor experience. As a backup, you
should always carry with you suitable alternatives such
as maps on paper and a compensated compass and
you should know how to determine your position in an
emergency using other means.
