I have it. Its not exactly Tom Tom, but I got it for free so I am not complaining

Is it useful? - it is for street names etc, but its difficult to get lost on Cyprus...

I know it is overpriced but how do you know it is crap? Did you try it out? What exactly is wrong with it?

The interface is clumsy & the maps are not good. It is also not helped by the street & place names in Cyprus having various different English spellings. It may be better using it in Greek, I don't know.

I have it running on my Mio a701, but they sell this for £379 preloaded on a Mio 168 which is a very out dated PDA. You could get one on Ebay for £100 easily. So I guess they think their software is worth over £250! Maybe the software is available on it's own now, I havn't checked.

I downloaded it for free and quite frankly I'm glad I didn't pay for it!

Can you tell me where to download for free as I would like to try it out also. Is it a bit torrent?

It is availible for sale to work with a PDA with PPC 2003 for RRP 150CYP...

Strange as I have used various SAT Nav packs and the interface look like all the others?

I can't remember where I got it from, newsgroups probably. It's not the sort of thing that comes available for download often, so good luck!

I too downoaded it for free...but I am afraid the link is now dead or i woud post it :cry:

As murf62 says, some of the street name spellings are...well, different to both the Greek ones and the English ones that are on the signs.

Can you install it on a computer or it only runs on PDAs?

by **murf62** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 7:55 am

The version I have is PPC only, but someone on another forum somewhere had managed to get the map running on a laptop, but using different software. I can't remember what it was called though? Maybe Maptech?

by **mattys22** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:13 am

Maptech is only any good if you want a really very poor solution, this is not navigation this is just a picture of a moving map. What I really want is the equivilent of TOM TOM or Smartmaps... Is this the one you have.

Can it not be posted somewhere... ?

How accurate are street numbers on this thing? If you give it an exact address how near that address does it get you?

by **Pubdog2** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 12:06 am

If you zoom in on the map, it shows street numbers. I haven't tested this a great deal, but it knows where my place is and gets me right outside. Obviously I know when I am there - I was just testing it
