I was looking around for awhile and didn't see anything major about this. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions as to software that lets you explore maps without a data plan or gps.

I would think that the amount of storage that would be needed is large, so I was thinking about getting a separate microSD card just to store the maps.

Any ideas, suggestions, or previous experience would be appreciated guys! Thanks!

smart2go. The maps have to be downloaded initially using either your Hermes or your PDA, but then they remain cached and ready to use.

I still think MS Pocket Streets is a great piece of software.
The stopped shipping it with S&T a few years back, but it's around.
GPS support, Points of interest. Address lookup.
NO Data connection required.
There are a bunch of free maps available, or you can buy Streets and Trips and make your own as needed.
Google search and see what you can come up with.

I can't get smart2go to do any kind of address lookup or routing, and I am using just the downloaded maps with no data connection. Can anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong?
