Microsoft Streets and Trips is pretty good for maps and directions. Don't know if it does a turn by turn navigation though.

you talking about general apps such as Microsoft Autoroute, Memory Map (plot routes upfront). If so

Do you want software that will plan the route for you or OS map based software that you have to set the route manually?

Ideally Somthing Like Tomtom I Would Like The In 100 Yards Turn Right Facility But The Plan In Advance Would Also Be Useful

Thanks

I can send you a copy of the Tom Tom software. I loaded it onto my PDA and used my PDA as a Sat Nav. Worked ok - crashed about once a week though.

Autoroute can give directions plus scrolling map. However there's no voice option that I'm aware of.

Signposts work well also.

Can you not just put the TomTom software onto your laptop then plug the GPS into your laptop ?

[BAV1]

No Mac As The Tomtom Software Is Designed To Run On Ppc Which Is A Type Of Operating System Xp Or Any Other Ms Based O/s Doesnt Know How To Run It
