Currently i am using Pocket Streets 2005 in Australia. However as you may be aware the maps are terrible with huge parts missing even right in the middle of Capital Cities.
What i am trying to do is convert better maps to work with Pocket Streets if thats possible.
Does anyone know if it can be done?
If not does anyone know if a better program for smartphone that has good Australian Maps?
Thanks for your time. |

Forget Pocket Streets. Try CoPilot for Smartphone - they have Australia maps too. _________________ Lutz

Try Power Navigation. I'm just starting to play around with it for riding and walking, it sounds like it might work for converting
