I have the Palm CD of Mapopolis/Palm and maps for the whole USA.

I now have a Smartphone cell phone, and it would be fun to use Mapopolis on it.

The smartphone version of Maopolis app is a free beta, seems to work well. You can download it here:

The download link from this guys review still works although I didn't see it when I was browsing the Mapopolis site itself.

Anyway the review mentions that you can use the Pocket PC maps with this binary for Smartphone; but looking around I don't see any Pocket PC CDs available on ebay or wherever either.

The maps I have are all .prc files. What's a .prc file composed of, and how do I strip it so that just the data part is left/ I have what I need for the Smartphone app to recognize it as a data file?

Anyone have a PocketPC data CD for Mapopolis?

Thanks for ideas;

Do you use Mapopolis on your UX ?

Edit : yes, it is possible. You have to use mapopolis for OS3/OS4. It runs 320x320.
