Vicinity
Maps and Itineraries Service Has Been Discontinued.
We are sorry
to inform you that the Vicinity service is no longer available
from GPS Pilot software.
As you
may know, Vicinity is now a subsidiary of Microsoft and part of
the MapPoint Business Unit.
Due to lack of flexibility, and excessive cost requested by Microsoft
MapPoint.net for their on-line maps and itineraries download services,
GPS Pilot company regrets to inform GPS Pilot users that live
and direct access from your PDA to on-line MapPoint repository
data can not be maintained.
We will
still do our best to offer you the best navigation solution and
are seeking for new cartography portals to re-start as soon as
possible the on-line maps and itineraries live services.
We apologize
for any inconvenience caused.

PalmGear review:    
"This is an extremely powerful application and it runs excellent
here on my Tungsten in Germany. Door to door Navigation is very easy,
just input the both addresses and off You go ! Downloading the routes
via normal GSM speed (9600) is very fast ( about 2 or 3 minutes for
a 20 to 30 step route ) Graphics are great, maps are extremly detailed
and even the german driving instructions are excellent !!! A "MUST
BUY" FOR EVERYONE WHO NEEDS DETAILED MAPS AND DOOR TO DOOR ROUTING
WITHOUT KEEPING MEGABYTES OF MAPS ON HIS PALM ! I bought it within
30 Minutes."
Christian Armbruster, Germany
"First of all, great product! I am using this with a Handspring
Treo 600 and a Delorme/Radio Shack Digitraveler GPS. Having
tried some of the other products on the market, I have to say that
this is a much more convenient product, not having to worry about
having the correct maps loaded on my Treo." Scott Grillo, US. |
