TwoNav – a breath of fresh air Backstory – TwoNav has been on our radar for several years. 6 or 7 years? OS teamed up with TwoNav to create a OS branded GPS unit. We bought one at that stage and within 2 weeks it was on eBay, why? This partnership did not work as OS do not have the expertise to build and grow this type of technology in the UK. So late last year TwoNav kept coming up in conversation so Just before Christmas, we bought 1 x of each of their models and that was our Christmas holiday sorted as we started to get to grips and understand this new manufacturer – TwoNav are based in Spain Very keen to listen to feedback and build on what they have We ended up stocking x 3 models – TwoNav Cross Plus TwoNav Terra TwoNav Aventurer 2 Plus Map options available – Pre-loaded European maps 1:50k 1:25k 1:25k, 1:50k and 1:250k on Aventurer 2 plus Summary – SatMap on steroids – clarity of screen Wireless transfer from phone/ tablet Easy to use, intuitive Made by someone who believes and is passionate about their product To find out more please go to our website – GPSTraining.co.uk > GPS Store > Handheld GPS units OR – GPSTraining.co.uk > Reviews > TwoNav – a breath of fresh air 2.
