Are we going to see that from Mapopolis soon? Most others use it already. I think would be the dealmaker for many people.

It's been a discussion item on the Mapopolis forums for ages.

One of the advantages of Mapopolis is that it is incredibly fast. The fear is that this advantage would go away with a 3D rendering engine...

Mapopolis may eventually cave in and deliver a 3D mode so they can say "Me too" . I'm just not sure it will benefit them.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I like the archaic 2D mode. And when you adjust the color schemes to the one that TomTom uses then the Mapopolis maps look really cool, actually.

Normal = Day

Map background is yellow-ish

Of course you can alos use your own color scheme.

I have just purchased Mapopolis and it does have the 3d view. I have to say that I prefer the 2D as I find the 3D a bit confusing on a small screen.

A word of praise for Lemar and the team in Manopolis Support. I have had real problems using my Palm T with the Fortuna GPS receiver and have turned to Mapopolis (as well as Fortua) for help.

I have to say that over a weekend we exchanged numerous emails which in an effort to sort the problem which in fact is probably down to the receiver and they were superb.

Well done! :D

You can't find it because it's not there. Mapopolis currently does not have a 3D view in the Pocket PC version. (and I hope never will). Dinky uses the Palm version.

I just graduated from Mapopolis to TOM TOM Navigator 5. Its is 100 times better and accurate than Mapopolis. Teiered of wrong route calculation and horrible POI search in Mapopolis.

One night at arounf past midnight after travelling several 100+ miles just before reaching my home it made me navigate several miles on a lonely stretch of road to find that it enede in a bioreserve with a road closed board in front of me. I had to go all the way back and still it persisted to take the same road over and over again. Similarly ............ huh

Check it out !
