Town Compass DataViewer is as convenient as a book and as powerful as a computer. Navigation is simplified by a table of contents, an index, and keyword search. Three-tier hierarchical Database support and index cross-referencing delivers an unparalleled methodology for accessing Database information.
DataViewer v1.5 includes the advanced features of Graphic Support for enriched content presentation; Font Setting Options; Storage Card Compatibility; "Tap & Dial" for Pocket PC 2002/2003 Phone auto-dialing; Email & URL Hotlinks for enabled devices; "Footnote Lookup" for bibliographical, glossary, and definition information; Database Search support; and Infrared Beaming of the application and databases.
Key Features:
Organization & Navigation
There are three easy ways to find stored information with the DataViewer: 3-Tier Hierarchy, Fingerpoint Alphabetical Index, and Keyword Search.
The DataViewer Hierarchy is based on creating categorized lists organized by Subject, Category and SubCategory. 'Associated' lists are located next to one another, so browsing lists becomes intuitive.
The Fingerpoint Alphabetical Index is a roster of all lists in the Database. When a list is selected from the Index, you are returned to its place in the Hierarchy, which also allows you to see other 'associated' lists.
You can search Databases using the Search feature. Enter a keyword to search every record in your loaded Databases.
The DataViewer also allows you to store multiple Databases on your handheld, and switch between them without leaving the program. Visual
Display
"Font Setting Options" allows you to select the text you are most comfortable reading. Change Details Page text from our Town Compass custom font to other system default fonts. You can also make text a larger size for easier reading, or smaller size for compacted viewing! DataViewer takes advantage of Microsoft's ClearType font technology, which gives users a much more pleasant reading experience.
Not only do you see information in list form, but each individual record is displayed on an entire screen to minimize scrolling. Visual Guide
Each Database also comes with a colorful Cover Page.
Interactive Features:
"Footnote Lookup" inserts links to footnotes within text. Tap on a footnote and a pop-up window appears explaining the footnote. No need to search a glossary or bibliography list -- tapping on the footnote lets you keep your place in the text field window!
"Tap & Dial" allows 1-tap dialing for Pocket PC 2002/2003 Phones. All Databases with phone numbers, such as our City Directories and Business Books of Lists, are now mobile communications hubs.
"Infrared Beaming" enables information sharing through your handheld's IR (infrared) port to other handheld devices. Beam DataViewer and non-commercial Databases to your friends and acquaintances.
Email & URL Hyperlinks are now hot, so email- & Internet-enabled devices can take advantage of easier communication and information retrieval.
Storage Card Compatibility:
Storage Cards
DataViewer may be run off of Pocket PC storage devices*. All Databases work normally even if loaded on a storage card.
*Note: In order for DataViewer to read Databases from storage cards, the Databases must be placed in any one of the following directories on the storage card:
