Guest bartio1975 Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Any one have anyluck? I tried to install it with Active Sync. Didnt work. I coudn't see the app shortcut in the start menu. I tried browsing it in the folders.. Its not there. Then I went to IPSM/Windows/AppMgr/Install folder and clicked on the .cab file manually. It looked it like it installed for a second, but actually no! I removed the files from the Install dir and uninstalled form my pc as well and redid everything.. But didnt help! I have installed PacMan, Smartris, PHM registry editor without any problems. So we can rule out permissions to install apps right? I'm confused! I thought it will be cool to take maps on my phone! But.. I noticed that the XML file that is in the Install folder is not exactly correct in terms of tags? Can someone tell me if that could be a problem? (Refer to attached file, remove txt and open in IE. It shows tag errors)Microsoft Pocket Streets.CAB.xml.txtMicrosoft Pocket Streets.CAB-Corrected.xml.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobby_t1 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 i'm having the exact same problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mebobola Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Where did you get your copy? I bought mine from Handango and it installed fine. No probs, works great! You are right, it comes in handy when you are traveling on business and can't find the hotel. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartio1975 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Mebobola: Can you upload your file Microsoft Pocket Streets.CAB.xml. My XML file didn't look right and some of the end tags were missing. I got it as part of my new laptop software bundle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ferret Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Stupid question, you are trying to install the smartphone version and not the PPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartio1975 Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yes. The Smartphone 2002 version which should be compatible with Pock Streets 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jonny_doe Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Is this app good ?? I mean is it worth the money ?? do they off a trial ?? it sounds very good , but i'd like to know what other people think of this app , thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bartio1975 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I wont say it is worth every penny. But better than not having it! You cannot do door-to-door directions like in mapopolis's Navigator. But then, Navigator maps cost a lot compared to pocket streets maps which is free. You can download a beta version of Mapopolis Navigator for smartphone and see how it is. With Pocket Streets you have to download individual maps for cities. They dont have maps for the entire state. Only important cities. It is good to locate ATM's, restaurants in the city. I dont think there are any trial downloads for Pocket Streets though. Hope my info was helpful to you.

Guest bartio1975 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Not true. It is good for many countries. I was speaking for the US. here is the link for available maps. UK is there. Only you can tell whether it is good enough or not. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...6b-7ddbaf994ba0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadamehr Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Just to remind all of you complaining about the lack of cities... As far as I recall, the Smartphone works the same as the PPC, in that, if you have Autoroute, simply zoom on the PC to the map area you would like, and then export it as a Pocket Streets map, and copy to phone. That way, ANY map you want is available. Someone please let me know if this is NOT the case for the Smartphone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mebobola Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 That is the case. I use the PC version to make the map that I will need on my business trip and then transfer it to my SD Card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
