Yes, but it that software is for PPC - apparently included w/ the unit. I wonder how this works with PalmOS.

The US distributor has a package that includes palmos s/w.

The one thing that concerns me about the Mapopolis is that on its on Website there is no tech support for the GPS Bundle....

I've had the EMTAC for over a week and it works really nice.

I drove from Georgia to New Orleans, it worked very good. I was using the mapopolis software which required loading the maps to memory stick which is a pain.

One thing I didn't like as well was the lack of the ability to track you route. I would really like that functionality after spending $382 for the unit and software.

The BT worked really well and aquired at least 5 sats most of the time if not more. Ground speed was very accurate as well.

The cool factor is really high, all my buddies were like, that is the coolest pda ever! I really like the PEG-NZ90, it's like a swiss army knife for the digital realm!
