We've likely all seen the iPhone advert where someone browses through some POI (Points of Interest) and selects one and is then presented with a map showing it's location.

Is there anything like this for Windows Mobile?

If not, would it really be that hard to implement. There are thousands of POI files out there for TomTom or iGo, surely you can use co-ordinates from these and then pass them to a marker on Google Maps?

I'm no programmer though, so I would have no idea where to start, but the theory looks easy, no?

Why not just use google maps mobile, it's search capable...

Okay, that's pretty cool. I didn't realise you could do that. Thanks.
