Thread: GPS in Scandinavia..

On Laptop I use Destinator 2. But on Pocket PC i use TomTom 2. TomTom looks much better! Oh, I use it mostly in Sweden.

Thanks! What about Map Point 2004 with aGPS addon? How will this work?

Sure MapPoint will work. But MapPoint always show north up (as a normal map) but Destinator ond TomTom rotate the map so up is the direction you drive, and that is much easyier for you as driver.

Ok! Thank you!

The maps on Autoroute (should have the same map as Mappoint) cover the whole norway but not very detailed, alot of side roads are missing.

I have used "route 66" to navigate around oslo. This seems to be good with street level but only covers oslo.

So I end up using both...not axactly ideal but I had no choice.

TomTom should be detailed in main europe...I remember having 8 CD just for the maps. Mappoint uses 2 CD for the whole world

TomTom is just one CD



- Entire region (135 MB)
- Segments (16MB)
- Norway (56 MB)
- Sweden (95 MB)
- Denmark (21 MB)
- Southern Finland (18 MB)

Im talking about the whole europe needing 8CDs for TomTom (and I do have them all) compared to Mappoint 2004 2CD which I also have...just trying to explain how detailed they are by the number of CDs

Stick with TomTom only if you have a PDA because they dont work on PC. For Mappoint Check MS website if you wanna see the map coverage in scandinavia...I doubt its gonna be any good.

You could also consider Infomap Navigator Europe which covers the whole of Scandanavia. Great value for money at £49.99. Comes on a single DVD. More info from Action Replay
