Windows Mobile GPS Navigation software

[plofstof12]

What are the GPS options out there for windows mobile devices?

I've been using handymap Ai Gold for some time now, but it hasn't been updated since about 2007 and is getting rather clumsy.

I thought about going Tomtom but it looks as if Tomtom discontinued their Navigator product
Not sure whether Garmin offers a software version of their products.

I recently got an HTC HD2 and although Handymap seems to work ok-ish, I think its time to get something better.

What would you recommend?

Where did you get tomtom 7?? Seems to me they don't list it as a product anymore.

Is there an online shop where I can buy & download Garmin XT? The garmin.co.za website seems pretty useless.

Buy the Garmap Update DVD from any Outdoor Warehouse/Cape Union Mart for R15. It has the Mobile XT software on it. Then register online and pay lisense.

From your link:

Garmap for Mobile Online is a complete navigation offering for entry-level to midrange GPS-capable phones. As an online solution it automatically updates the latest map data direct to your handset.

So, not unless you feel like having a constantly active data connection.

OK - are XT maps stored on memory?

 

[HapticSimian]

Yup.

Thanks Robo I'll try this...

Its just so weird that these things aren't available online. I mean, its not like this is the stone age or anything

btw am I correct that Tomtom Navigator is also not available anymore?
I can't see the product listed anywhere on their website.

Not saying you should, of course, but it is available through *ahem* less expensive channels...

CoPilot has also just brought out maps for South Africa and their product gets consistently good reviews. It's also one of the most affordable options around 32 pounds, I think.

TomTom Navigator is still available: http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=898&Lid=1&Category=2
The .co.za sites seems to just redirect to the .com site so the prices and British Pounds
