DUBAI Maps or mapping programs

Hi. I have Tom Tom navigation software on my PC 2003 IPAQ but need maps for Dubai, but it appears there are none. Does anyone know of ready made maps/program for Dubai?
If not, is there any software that I can use to develope my own maps for this purpose?
Thanks[/b]

Hi and welcome.

Currently we are not aware of any street routing software for the UAE. You can create your own tracks, obviously, but that doesn't help you with street navigation. Sorry.

Hi and thanks for the reply.
Is there any program I can use to develope the street maps and use with the PDA GPS? Or tracks as you mention, what is this?
Thanks

Yes there is software for UAE.

Garmin City Navigator Middle East
http://www.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/citynavMideast.jsp

It works either on a Garmin device or on a PC.

Dubai is covered.

Thanks all, some good info there. Bloody Garmin, don't they do software for the pocket PC?

Unfortunately not. I asked this question last year; they have no PPC software nor any intention to market any. Sad

VITO maps are really useless. See my review of them here:

Even if you combine them with the Oziexplorer maps? Maybe that works better?

I really wonder what the guys from Emirate1.com will be using...
