Anyone know of a map and directions solution that doesnt use GPS (something i can use whilst walking around a city centre for example entering streets and postcodes to get directions)
Mark
Google maps? (would need a net connection))

This was a great piece of software but doesn't run on WM5. I don't need sat nav, just a map of the city I'm visiting, is there an alternative or is it possible to make it run on WM5?
Those maps are by now so way out of whack that it already hurts.
You can use any navigation program (including TomTom) without a GPS receiver (although it's beyond me why you would want to do that).
If you want something cheap, look at Mapopolis.
Pocket Streets 2005 works well on my Exec and you can download loads of maps from the microsoft website.
Pocket Streets 2006 also works....but it doesn't have voice commands and there are no directions from one point to another
So be wary about that when you think about buying Microsoft Street and Trips 2006 and thinking that you can use it on your Universal to map directions for you.
Also, I've checked the maps based on where I am....and a lot of the restaurants info are all outdated.
if it really is just plain old maps. i have pocket streets 2003 pn the universal, and you can use the 2005 maps. cannot remember where I got it from now. could try searching the web.
however, this isn't enough for me, I will be getting a gps later.
We are heading for vacation...waahoo!
I forgot to find a map of the area for my wizard...it doesn't have a GPS, so I only need the map.
Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks.
actually, you can use tomtom even if you don't have a gps. It's great to calculate routes, find poi's or to use as a map
Pocket Streets ? Think you can import from Autoroute.
Thanks, Pocket Streets seems to work.
Dont have GPS yet but as I am visiting Wales soon I wouldnt mind a map program for my wizard. Is there anything with streets etc ?
Just a pull over find out where we are and where we are trying to kind of program.
I personally use Virtual Earth Mobile at http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx
I tried Google Maps Mobile at www.google.com/gmm but it has never worked on any of my Wizards or BA's
The Virtual Earth is kinda cewl, very user friendly IMO, once you learn it. Input addresses directly or pull from your Contacts. Arial and/or Street views. Driving directions from MSN.
Was more looking for something with the maps already on my wizard rather than have to connect to the net.
Memory Map works well on my WIzard, but the Maps aren't cheap.
Microsoft Pocket Streets
Have to buy software but map downloads are free from Microsoft and cover most major cities in the world. Just download the ones you want.
hi guys, got a problem with my tomtom software, because I am using a Chinese ROM and all files and folders are used differently by the device, the only way I can read a map using tomtom is by installing the map on the actual device. Needless to say I cannot install a very big map. Does anyone know where I can get the GLASGOW map if possible? Failing that the Scotland map?
Microsoft Mappoint allows you take out small sections of maps, I had west central scotland for a while it at the time did not give route finding but i believe pockets streets now does dont know if tomtom gives any town / city maps
yeah the tomtom website has the glasgow map, just wondering if anyone here had it and could share with me
I am going to Alaska in 3 weeks. I need a road map program only. Dont need GPS. Does anyone have one they can spare or give me advice on what is out there.
Thanks
Anyone have iGuidance?
nokia's smart2go
it's free
download the maps for your country, sort of similar to google maps, only not as good
Is there another map software that you can download maps for and use it directly? For example, maps of two states, so you can drive from one point to another without GPS/WiFi.

smart2go will do that,
