Hey everyone

I am wondering what your opinions on the best mapping/route software for Windows Mobile is at the moment.

I am currently using TomTom and are after what you guys use?

I use Tomtom on the road, and Memory-Map off the road.

Memory-map interested me, is this for on foot or something?

Yeah, I use memory map for hiking. Its basicly just a OS map on your screen, and it shows your position. However it also records your track, so you can look back at any point and see where you were at any time, and how fast you were going.
Also the pc half is very good for planning trips in advance, as you just click to place waypoints which you can then follow using either your pda or you handheld gps like my garmin etrex.

Memory Map is very good for walking/ moutain biking, the maps can be costly though as you purchase them in large areas at a time, as an alternative consider "Quo" it isn't as feature filled but does provide OS mapping on tiles for £0,99 each it also will run on PC and PDA, see http://www.mapyx.com/ - Mike
