GPS software for my carputer (Europe/Norway)

**Henriko** · 06-19-2004, 10:51 AM

As the topic implies im searching for a GPS-software that works for regular PC's and covers Europe and preferably also Norway (at least major cities).
Sure, i got Route 66, but i doesnt got 3d/birdseye view, it doesnt have turn-by-turn directions and it doesnt "talk"

Anyone know about a better app?

Are u absolutely sure that MapSonic work for PC's? To me it seems like a PDA/palm-application?

Oh... Well then, my bad

Anybody tested this? Just to know that the 3d/turnbyturn really works in PC-mode... The PC-mode isnt just there to "assist" the PDA mode? Kinda bad explanation, but you get it?

I use Map sonic, works good, recalculates the route really fast! and talks to you. but it sucks on a touch screen

I just downloaded the patches, sure they say for pocket PC, but I´ll give it a try... will probably not work.

anyone else who got the 3D working on a PC?

Hi all

I'm using MapSonic (actually MapStore, which it is called on PC) in my carpc running WinXP. The 3D feature works great, when changing to "Navigation Mode" it becomes a bit more touchscreen friendly - only the "Navigate to.." where you have to type in your search string is annoying.
