Thank you for your help

The OS is the operating system.

Judging by the specs above your GPS has a proprietary OS and wouldn't run Shonky or Oziexplorer.

Without knowing anything about the Pq2 GO-710, 7"screen GPS I think it highly unlikely that you can use any other map than that provided with the device can be installed. Most PDA based in car navigation systems have the option of running other software butb devices such as Tom Tom Navman etc cannot.
