Paris - 2002

Introduction

Paris-2002 is an electronic map of Paris for your PalmOS organiser. It allows you to easy navigate around the city, using the powerful 8-level zoom (max x128) and search feature. You can customise the display of all types of objects and use filtering to navigate among hotels, museums, subway stations, etc.

It is fast, easy to use, and makes full use of the features on your Palm OS organizer.

To navigate the map you can simple drag it with the stylus or use four navigation buttons at the edges of the screen. Alternatively you can use the search feature and be instantly transported to the place you are looking for (unfortunately, this doesn't work in reality yet).

You can get information about any object you see on the map, simply by tapping on it. Or you can temporarily disable the Drag mode and use dragging to get instant Hot Tips telling you the name of the object.

To display the map you will need the HandMap software package (available separately at the special price of only $16). The map is fully compatible with all PalmOS AND PocketPC devices. You can display it on any grayscale or color device and even on Handera and SONY Clie in the high-resolution mode. PocketPC handhelds are fully supported as well.

F.A.Q.

Frequently asked questions and answers:

I want to make a map of my city (region/country/planet). What do I need?

Answer: You need a bitmap version of the map (which you can scan from paper version or download from the Net), MapIt! program and a few hours of free time. The instructions for making your map are available on HandMap site, on my St. Petersburg map site and at PDAMaps Wiki.

Can you make a demo with the map of whole Paris available?

Answer: Unfortunately, no. We want our potential customers to be able to evaluate our product before paying anything for the map or for the map viewer. The unregistered version of HandMap can display only small "demo" maps that are less than 35Kb, while full Paris-2002 map is more than 100Kb. But the demo map includes all features of the full map and we believe that it is sufficient for evaluation needs.

I have a problem! Something is not working! What should I do?

Answer: Check out this troubleshooting document for some ideas. If that doesn't help, e-mail me.
