Navigation software for spv c500

[Guest hotlatte]

Hi,

I wanted to pick your brains. Can anyone suggest a navigation software for spv c500 that i have just bought. I know about tom tom but it is too expensive.

I prefer a street walking one rather the "in car" one that requires gps reciever too.

Thanks

Its not the greatest, but for a basic piece of software have you looked at Autoroute 2005? It has pocket streets included, so will give you streets but not footpaths and bridleways.

Its only about £50 too, and you have the advantage of Autoroute on your home PC into the deal.

Just my 2p worth, I now expect to be shot down in flames for even suggesting pocketstreets!

If you're looking for a non-GPS navigation package your choices are very limited, the only one I can think of is SmartLocator (search these forums for that)

It can show you a street-level map centred on your position (established from your GSM-determined location).

If you're thinking of getting a GPS (they're only about £50 now) you can then go on to SmartLocator GPS, or something more advanced like Mapopolis (which I found better than TomTom at "on foot" directions).
