Pocket PC Map Programs

Mine is a Pocket PC from Toshiba. No internet access without the computer, however.

What are you guys using?

I should have said, what are you using for map programs in your Pocket PCs.

Thanks. B

I Utilize MS MapPoint with Pocket PC

MapPoint integrates with MS Outlook (my primary database) & after I've entered the address on a new borrower I can single click to MapPoint. Once there I map out the directions & travel time/distance from my office. The whole process can take less than 30 seconds & once completed I add it to my Mobile Favorites. The next time I synchronize my Dell Axim PDA the directions are downloaded to the PDA's Internet Explorer program & are what I refer to when I'm enroute to that signing. It works well for me.

So, if I understand correctly, you run this on your computer and put this into your PPC via Mobile Favorites. Thanks for the info, Dennis.

You Got It!

I pull up the new MS Outlook Contact info on my desktop, go to MS MapPoint on the Internet via the "Display Map of Address" icon in the MS Outlook Contact form, save the directions under Mobile Favorites, & then synchronize to my PDA later. It works slick!
