What Palm software routes across Europe?

dununda

Can someone recommend a Palm software solution that will route me across Europe and at the same time have street level mapping in Italy, France and Switzerland? I have a T3 and am happy to buy a BT GPS either separately or bundled depending on which software package I go for.
A cursory review of available products seems to show that:

-ViaMichelin Mapsonic will not route across borders.
-TomTom will but only via major roads.
-Navman 4470 seems like it only comes with UK maps but I would need to pay more to Europe and then I am not sure if it is street level.

Appreciate any recommendations on Palm OS solutions that you guys may have.[/list]

http://www.mncgroup.co.uk/products/details/navman-4470-bluetooth-gps-for-palm-os5/2050/ seems to suggest that the Navman 4470 comes with European maps to street level. Is this fair dinkum or is it BS?

The 4470 (Navman BT receiver with V3 maps) hasn't been released yet, but at that price it's likely to come with a single region unlocked. Unlocking the rest of Europe will probably cost a further £149, as it does for Navman's other products. The 4460, which uses V2 maps, is available but if I were you I'd try to find out from Navman when the 4470 will be released, as the maps are newer and the software is better.

Thankyou for the heads up Tim. If I go down the Navman path I will certainly wait for the 4470 then. Do you happen to know if the Navman maps will allow you route across and near European borders? Assuming of course I purchased and unlock relevant maps. Or is it going to be like viaMichelin which generally only allows routing within a given country.

Again Tim, Thanks for the answer to my question you placed in the Navman forum.
