Title: Map software
Post by: strerror on June 21, 2004, 08:29:13 pm

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any map related software. The type where I could download some maps and if you want to know how to get to place X you can put in your current co ordinates and get directions back on how to get to X.

There are no applications that can give you directions. There are two types of mapping apps for Zaurus:

1. Download images from some web site (qpegps)
2. Use US Census Tiger/UA vector maps (zroadmap, hopefully others in future)

Tiger/US database doesn\'t have data for the directions of the road, so it is not possible to calculate directions.
