+Barbarnero Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knew of any good street level mapping programs for the Palm OS that run on palm OS 4.1 and that can also take coordinate input? Thanks Barbarnero Quote Link to comment
+T F T C Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) You can try the Google Maps app. It's free, but I don't know if it will take coordinates. I'd try it out for you but I'm not on a data plan; I only use it to check traffic when in a bind, or when I'm lost. EDIT: I run this on my Treo 650, so I have internet access. I don't know about PDAs with no cell phone capability. Edited February 4, 2008 by chimbisimo Quote Link to comment
+naviguesser74 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 look at GPS Pilot's program, Tracker. I have scanned maps, calibrated them and navigated using a Treo. Quote Link to comment
+JohnTee Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hmmmm, DeLorme's Street Atlas has a PDA map feature. I played with it and downloaded the St. Louis streets to my Palm. Zoomed in to nice detail. I've uninstalled it, so can't answer about the ability to accept coordinates . . . Cache On! JohnTee Quote Link to comment
+wazkaren Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hmmmm, DeLorme's Street Atlas has a PDA map feature. I've used Delorme Street Atlas on my Palm T3 quite a bit. There is a menu option "Go to position..." where you enter coordinates and it moves the map to that location. You can then add a wpt at the current map position with a button press.

+Red90 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 If you have Garmin maps, you can load those on.... You use the GPS10 Que software, available from Garmin's website. The best interface is Cachemate to transfer cache locations to the maps. Quote Link to comment
+Barbarnero Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 for my GPS I have a Triton 300 and for my PDA I have a Sony Clie SJ-22 with Palm OS 4.1 Quote Link to comment

+EScout Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Delorme Street Atlas is a good program. I have it on my Clie with PalmOS 5.2. You can convert a PQ of caches to waypoints which will show on the map. If you have a GPSr with serial cable sending data, it will show your location on the map. You need to get a serial cable for your PDA, and a null modem connector. Quote Link to comment

I was not talking about the the Mobile 10 version, but the Que version. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1441 It does not appear to run on 4.1 though. You are not going to get much map performance out a Palm that is that old, are you?? That has got to be one old PDA. Quote Link to comment
+Barbarnero Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) yeah its something like 4 or 5 years old, but I had it laying around doing nothing else so I now use it to go paperless probably doesnt matter anyways. I think I will be returning my Triton 300 soon and getting a Vista HCx. I am just getting fed up with waiting for the improvements on the Triton. it works great in the field. accuracy and sat detecting. but the other software feature are annoying as heck or dont work at all. so saying that I will probably justtry and find a map program that works on the Vista Edited February 6, 2008 by Barbarnero Quote Link to comment
