Does any body know which GPS Software (pocket pc) can search places by phone number. and which one do you think overall the best.
thanks

None of them.

Now postcodes are a different matter.

Mark's answer is absolutely correct but I wonder if you asked the right question. Your reference to pocket pc suggests you are using a pda. Do you want a sat nav that will use your contact list in outlook?

If so TT5 will enable you to search for the address (not phone number) in your contacts list. However it is a bit tempramental and you will have had to have inputted the address in outlook precisely using street name and city boxes before it will work properly.

No idea, sorry. The one I saw was for the UK.

Eldar, you are right - and it is on my TT5! Doh .....

Don't remember where I got it from - it is not a TT original because I can delete it. However it is pretty old - still has 0181 and 0171 for London.

Does it just search by area code or actual number? Anything but full numbers is pretty useless. It used to be that that similar numbers were arranged into adjacent areas, not so any more, numbers around here can start with 487 or 482 or 420 for example.
