Recommend app/map for trip to N.Y.City?

[Davidb67]

Hi all,

was wondering if anyone can suggest a Map/application i could install on my iPaq to use when i go to New York City for 10 days later this year.

Went last year, took the iPaq (mainly for email) but didn't have GPS then, so didn't use it for getting around.

Don't plan to drive whilst there, but should've picked up a b/t GPS before i go, so a map of NYC would be useful.

I have TomTom Navigator v2.22, but wouldn't necessarily be looking for something that HAD to work with that.



Any suggestions?

TIA,

david

If it's primarily for walking and not routing, you could use Pocket Streets and download a New York map. This wouldn't give any routing information, but would be sufficient. The other option is to purchase a 1 month subscription of Mapopolis from Mapopolis.com. There's various levels of the subscription, you wouldn't necessarily need the full platinum edition, one of the cheaper options that just gives a map and GPS support would probably suffice.

I do recommend Vindigo, which is a subscription service but you can get a one month free trial. I can't remember if the maps work with GPS , It can tell you whats on, what restaurants there are nearby (with reviews for a lot of them), what gigs are on, whats on at the cinema, cashpoints, chemists, parking etc etc and from your current position tell you how to get there by foot or public transport with maps and written directions.

I was well impressed (impressed my NY friends too).

it's available at www.vindigo.com
