map soft

[nikita]

Does anyone use map software? What are the decent programs of this kind? I used mapmap, but that thing uses bmp's as its maps, which take up quite a bit of room...
Availability of international maps is also appreciated.

I think a lot of people use mapopolis but tomtom is supposed to be the best for international maps, especially europe.

Tomtom is great, the only problem is that is not supporting OS5 :-(

for north america, the best map software i have found is mapopolis (http://www.mapopolis.com). it is vector based which allows zooming in and out easily. it is fairly fast on os4 machines and blazing fast on os5 machines. with a platnium map subscription you can download all the maps you want (even all of north america and most of europe) and it will generate point to point directions (this is the only map program i have found that does this on the handheld device).

i use it at least four times a day. and when you add the place guides to the program you can find most businesses in town along with their address and phone number. it is well worth the price.:D
