Thanks for these updates. I agree with your assessment of TomTom City
Maps - the CD is a bargain!
There is at least one other programme that you might have included -
"RealMaps" by Kevin Millican.
This allows user to create maps on Psion from scans of paper maps, or from
any other graphical image of a map. GPS moving map works with this
perfectly, although without (of course) route planning.

Yep, know it well. Great as a home-brew moving map solution, though not
quite what I was focussing on in the article, i.e. full-blown navigation
solutions. Hey, I didn't even mention my (very old) Mapper 8-)

OK. If you were only targeting route planning systems I'll forgive you.
And your modesty on Mapper does you great credit :-)
But for off-road moving map applications, I am not aware of any Psion
options other than RealMaps. Do you know of any others?

Thanks. Steve Litchfield's site mentions those, which are excellent. But I
was asking specifically about options for off-road use. I only know of
RealMaps (also excellent) and I was asking if Steve L knew of others. You
might want to go back and read the full thread, then this would make more
sense....

No. 8-) Again though, I was focussing on route-planning, GPS-aware road
navigation systems. I wanted to show people that there's more to this
field than Palm OS and Pocket PC 8-))

I have no idea whether Steve L ever encountered it but there was, for Series
3, also TDCGPS. I exchanged source with the author, Simon Taylor, for a
while. It lacks some of the irritating idiosyncrasies of RealMaps, and keeps
more closely to the standard GUI, but of course has a few peculiarities of
its own. So far as I know it was never ported to Series 5.
