Windows Mobile Sat Nav App for Australia
 

Does anyone know of a Sat Nav app for Australia which can be installed on an existing Windows Mobile device? I'm looking for an application which can be installed on the device, not something online like Google Maps.

Maaaaate (guess where I'm from?) :) - don't buy software!

You can buy a really cheap Sat Nav for under A$200 - eg Navman F15 touchscreen.

If you're really keen for the software, buy the Route 66...A$199.

Thanks mate. Device won't work for me, and Route 66 for Australia seems to require an old Pocket PC rather than Windows Mobile 5/6.

Any other ideas?

TomTom work on WM^
 

I am using TomTom Navigator on my Treo 750 (WM6). Try that, not sure of the A$ price.

You are using it with Australia maps and routing information?

TT Navigator isn't available in Australia, and I'm pretty sure it's been discontinued. You can buy it for your WM device (eg from ebay UK), then you need to buy the latest Australian TT maps.

That was why I suggested buying a device rather than software for your PDA.

Route 66 does seem to have a WM version for Australia - however that appears to be at least 2 years old.

I need something I can do some integration with so that isn't a good solution. Thanks for all the suggestions.

What kind of integration? WinMo sat nav apps are not very good at "integration".

Do you need a road map display with turn-by-turn directions? Or just need to know where you are?

When I'm off any GPS mapping application, I use a simple Windows Mobile app called VisualGPSce to get my co-ordinates, which I then easily transfer to a paper map. It's free - and includes a logger for plotting tracks and geotagging photos.

http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html use google maps with google mobile
winmo bins -> http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB ...

googles maps have pretty good worldwide coverage and decent maps... might need something else for turn by turn though, also you might want to change the caching settings so you can store the map tiles that you need...

What caching settings are you referring to? I've always wanted to use GMM with internal maps.

i though mgmaps dled google maps...i was wrong

the next best thing is http://www.mgmaps.com/ its java based...

here is the winmo install http://www.mgmaps.com/winset/

you can generate ofline maps with these tools...
http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/ use the first web based tool...its easy, just follow there steps... then you use this tool http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/gMapMaker-setup.msi to open the .map file and save the maps...

I have an application on the mobile device which has a list of locations that someone needs to visit. What I'm looking for is an app that will accept through local integration the information of the locations, show them on the map, present driving directions between two locations and between current location and the next location to be visited.
