Hi, I'm looking for a google maps style program which I can actually download a map pack for to use to navigate to places... I don't have gps and I don't want to use the internet, I just want to do a search for a street address.
I live in Australia and was wondering if anyone knew a good program which would suite me?

Thanks heaps

You could always install tomtom with aussie maps as you can browse the maps even if there is no gps signal...

Any reason why you don't wanna use the net? I find its one of the main features of the phone...

well, I do use the net on the phone for some things... but I really just want to store the maps so I don't have to download each time like with google maps.
How do I go about getting tomtom? I think I did actually have tomtom on the phone when I first got it, but it wouldn't start without a gps plugged in.

The maps cost money don't they?

Is there a free alternative at all?

I have the Garmin 10x bluetooth GPS reciever that came with maps, and even does voice tun by turn. I use it when driving. It was 120.00USD, but I believe that you can get oz maps too.

Cheers mate... You could always buy a keyfob sized gps for $60-100 to get that fully functional...
