- Zero stars really...
Worst software purchase ever! After having a useful Psion directions program when I lived in London 6 years ago, I thought I should get something similar for my Palm Zire 72 now I'm in Seattle. I even thought there might be some improvements in the last few years, especially with Palm being the market leader...WRONG!!
If I type in my (unique!) Seattle address, it gives me 3 options - all of which are incorrect! It defaults to one 30 blocks north of me! Then practically every address I have ... Read More

- Directions are Sketchy at Best, Incorrect at Times
After I loaded this software on my Palm, I tried it out by mapping a route from home to work. It could not get my home address correct and started me out from a neighboring street instead. It couldn't even route me through the major highways in the Austin TX metro area correctly. I then tried it for Houston, and same story. The display and the way it zooms in and out and marks road names on the on-screen map leave much to be desired. I can hardly get any information out of the display. I do not recommend ... Read More

- Should allow for negative rating
What a worthless purchase.I do a lot of travelling and thought this would be great.Sounded wonderful, even sold on the palmone website.Boy was I ever mistaken.Wish I would've gotten the reviews before wasting my money.You can't read the maps, maps are only for a few cities, and the interface is less than user friendly.I finally went with Earthcomber, but when that didn't have directions (just the map and POI, but its all free) I got Mapopolis, which is wonderful.If you want Directions on the ...

- Very, very unhappy
I am NOT happy with this product.They don't even have the major cities in my state, let alone the city I live in.When I emailed them about it, they said they were updating the cities but mine was not on the list and they didn't know when it would be.I'm definitely getting my $40 bucks back and never buying their products again!

- Warning: Buy at your own risk!!!
I wouldn't even rate this a '1' because I feel so gipped out of the $35 I spent. I bought this product as a gift for my boyfriend through Amazon a while back-- before there were any reviews about this product. I have to agree with all of the previous reviews. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area, this product is completely useless. I thought that this would be a good alternative for him instead of going to Mapquest on his phone. Now, he just winds up using mapquest anyways. If you need directions to ... Read More
