I have a Pocket PC that doesn't have GPS but I would still like to have
maps of the cities that I visit in them. Is there anyone that makes maps
that would be applicable for this purpose. Would a program like Tom Tom
work if you don't have GPS on your PPC?


Thanks,

Hi,

You can get NATMAP raster mapsheets, NRMA maps and others.

Not much use using maps if you don't have a GPS or at least a mapping
software.

I use navman and Oziexplorer on my XDAIIi. Navman for car navigation but not
always much chop out in the country and rather hopeless down in Tassie. Use
Oziexplorer for bushwalking and XC skiing. Buy 1:25000 maps and scan them
in as A4 sheets (10 per map) and then calibrate (takes about 1hour per map
to scan and calibrate, which is much cheaper than $100s for already
digitised maps that you may never need). Works great provided you have
calibrated with Oziexplorer collectly. One digit wrong can throw you off
course by 500m. All my XC ski maps fit ona 1G card.

It would work, you would need to browse the maps to find where you are and
where you want to go. I think you might need to configure it to "think" it
has a GPS on some spare com port somewhere, but if it never gets a fix I
don't think it will care.

For TomTom the device needs Bluetooth: to communicate with a separate GPS
receiver.

Remarks:
1) When I bought TomTom Navigator 5, a GPS receiver was included.
2) TomTom Navigator 6 is compatible with with less PDA models, according to
their web site. However, their list may not be complete: I run Navigator 6
on a Qtek 9100 (a guise of the HTC Wizard).

Regarding your intended use:
Navigator does let you plan a route, even when no GPS signal is being
received or even when no GPS device is found. Although you can zoom in and
out, don't expect too much overview from a 320*240 pixel screen!

What about Pocket Streets (Autoroute), you can download most major cities
from Microsoft and use them just as a street guide, no need to have a GPS if
all you want are the street maps without auto routing etc.

I got a PPC from my brother (Asus Mypal A730) with TomTom 5.2 (installed on
CF card), in conjunction with a Rikaline GPS mouse and bluetooth. This all
works very nice indeed!
However, I do need at least an update of the map (benelux plus) as the
infrastricture seems to change rapidly.
Also, I have no idea wether TomTom 6 would run on my device.

I was wondering how to remove TT5 for testing TT6, but I have to be sure how
I can reinstall the old version if version 6 dost not work. Any idea how to
proceed in this case?

With all memory cards removed, there still seem to be TomTom related files
in the PPC...

I performed a back-up of the main memory, including the Registry.
I used Navigator 5 (with Benelux map) on a 512 MB card.
I installed Navigator 6 (with maps of West Europe) on a 2 GB card.

(Note that TomTom Navigator 6 is installed and maintained from a desktop
application called TomTom HOME. The combination reminds me of iPod and
iTunes.)

What program did you use for making the backup? Can I use the full backup
option of ActiveSync for this?
Forgot to mention: I have WM2003SE on the PPC and Windows2000SP4 on the PC.
Also installed ActiveSync 4.2 on the PC connecting the PPC by USB.
ActiveSync behaves OK here for file transfer. (I don't use Outlook)

Afraid I'm still a 'mobile newbie', but I already understood the concept of
TomTom home. This seems another nice advantage.

You mean the distance of v5 was incorrect? Or you just altered the route?
How about powwer supply on bicycle? Does the battery last long enough? Or
can you feed it with a dynamo or something?

I was just getting into the POI issue yesterday. This has very nice
applications! I just got the POI 'flitspaal' working :-) I can set it to
squeal when I get within a circle of e.g. 250 meters. But if you only use it
on bicycle this POI isn't of much value I suppose...

Pocket Streets seems to meet your needs exactly... it used to ship with
Street's and Trips or Mappoint, but is now sold separately, so, if you
spot a 2004-2006 desktop version, you might get both... check the box.

I haven't tried TomTom. But I use Microsoft Streets & Trips and
Teletype. With and without a GPS. Each has a search function that
accepts street addresses. I think each one also accepts landmark
names. I've used them to help choose hotels when planning trips. I've
also used Google Earth (on "big" Windows).

I also tried a program that provides subway maps. I live in Boston,
and tried its Boston maps. My major problem was that it really only
considered subways (even when busses are more appropriate). Also, it
was mainly about getting from station to station, with not much help
getting _to_ stations. I can definitely do better with a paper transit
map. But maybe not in a city (like London) I know less well. I'm
pretty sure the program is Metro from Modaco.

I use Spb Backup (on the PDA). But I have also made at least one backup from
the desktop side, I think: using WinRAR.

I would have to check requirements. You do it yourself! :-)

* Non-cyclists and non-Dutch may stop here. *

"Garbage in, garbage out", and these maps seem to treat bicycles as impaired
cars. Dedicated cycling routes and "bussluizen" (car traps?) are not
invented there. I must still check about ferries.

Going into detail:
My test route leads from postal code 1021 to Hakkelaarsbrug (where the
railroad to Almere crosses the A1 motorway).
TomTom Navigator (5 and 6) have me go in a wider curve through the North of
Amsterdam than the Nieuwendammerdijk/Schellingwouderdijk that is perfect. At
least Nav6 has me ride a stretch that I'm not allowed to.
Next, both have me cross the Watergraafsmeer to Diemen. Whereas I swing left
at Zeeburg, across (IJburg and) the Diemerzeedijk.
Here Nav5 and Nav6 diverge: Nav5 takes me parallel to the A1 (correct), but
has me bypass Muiden on a cars-only route, whereas I can (and must) pass the
"bussluis" and cross straight through town (small as it is). Past Muiden,
Nav5 and I meet for the final cfew hunderds of meters.
The map of Nav6 seems to have addressed the forbidden bypass, but is still
unaware of the "bussluis". So it doesn't lead me along the A1 anymore, but
turn right at Diemen (de Sniep), past Driemond to Weesp. There I'm led to
the left through the town (less small than Muiden), and along the busy way
to the motorway junction at Muiden. I haven't checked the very last portion.
I only remember that Nav6 did NOT take me to the scenic narrow roads that
would have made me cross over the A1 to Hakkelaarsbrug next to the
Naardermeer.
And the shortest route for me would be to take the ferry to Amsterdam
Central Station, then cross the city to Diemen...

The PDA and the GPS receiver each have their own battery. I have a habit of
only switching the devices on when I need them. Last year we had a
discussion of GPS receivers and their battery life (and navigation sofware
for cyclists) on news:nl.fiets, so you could check that at Google Groups.

I live in Nashua, NH and hae an iPaq 4705. I use Microsoft Steets and Trips
software which includes a free copy of Pocket Streets and trips. When I
want to carry a map with me instead of using my Garmin GPS, I export a map
from Steets and Trips to Pocket Steets and Trips and carry it with me on my
iPaq.

The maps are zoomable so you can get to steet-level viewing.

Right, did my homework! First I made a full back up with ActiveSync. Then I
found someting called Asus Back up on the PPC, so I made a backup with that
app. too. I also copied the entire CF-card with a card reader (borrowed one
:-)
Today I installed TT Navigator 6.02 with new maps and... it seems to work
great!

I haven't used the bicycle option yet and I doubt if I ever will. (although
doctor says I need more exercise!) It must be rather complicated for the
program I think to calculate permissible bicycle routes...

I always try to use the batteries as little as possible. At home I use the
adaptor, in the car I always connect to 12V. keeping the batteries in good
shape.
Now there's something I was surprised at. TT has an option called night
colours. I assumed that, when chosen, the screen colours would be operated
by the local time clock. It doesn't seem to work that way... I have to
change the setting back again manually.
Another enigma: the blue patches I see on the map don't always seem to
representate water...

I guess so. It can calculate walking routes - up to 5 km.

I find the color sets useful, even if you swith them manually.
