takwak Outdoor
takwak Outdoor is an exclusive outdoor activity app
which has been extended with special group features
to take full advantage of the tw700 hardware. It uses
both free downloaded maps from the OpenStreetMap
(OSM) project and topographical maps made available
by MagicMaps and Kompass.
When you start twOutdoor for the first time, it may
prompt you to download a free OSM world basemap.
You should do this using a Wi-Fi connection and not
with a mobile data connection. See also
“Map Set-
tings” on page 32.
Map View
Tap the Map button to show Map View. Press Menu
and choose Map to switch between Topographic
maps, OSM (OpenStreetMaps) and Kompass maps.
Topographic maps and Kompass maps can be pur-
chased online as map regions. OpenStreetMaps are
worldwide and are free of charge. For more informa-
tion on map types, see
“Glossary” on page 96.
The map window will show a grey screen instead if you
are currently viewing a location for which you do not
have a map for this region. In this case, try choosing
another map type, scrolling the map or zooming out
(press “-”). To install maps, see
“Map Settings” on
page 32.
All map types can be stored on the tw700 in case you
don't want to or cannot access the Internet when you
are outdoors. Using offline maps minimizes data usage
from the mobile network when you are touring. Street
maps and topographical maps are stored on the SD
card and the most recently used map information is
cached in the device’s flash memory.
If you purchase a topographical map while travelling,
you can access the parts of the map you need immedi-
ately through a mobile data connection (see “Map
streaming” on
page 34 ).
Scrolling the map
To centre the map on your current position, tap on the
“My Location” button
at the top left of the map. A
small dot is then shown inside the button (see also
Fig. 6 on page 22). In this mode, the map will be
scrolled automatically as you move, to keep your loca-
tion in the centre.
This assumes that the GPS has already fixed your posi-
tion (you can check this in Cockpit view).
Your location is shown by an orange cursor (triangle).
The angle of the orange cursor is controlled by the
built-in magnetic compass. If you hold the tw700 level
in the normal way with the loudspeaker and LED indi-
cator away from you, the orange cursor shows on the
map the way you are now facing.
