Editorial Review: Product Description: Street Maps and Vacation Planner makes any trip easier and faster! Make it easier to plan out your vacation with detailed information on restaurants, airlines and hotels Amazon.com Product Description: Street Maps & Vacation Planner turns any Palm (Palm OS 3.0 or later) or Pocket PC handheld into a personal navigation device. This handy program comes with a range of street-level, city, state, and U.S. maps, making vacation planning and road travel a snap. One of the planner's most useful features is the ability to easily export static maps from your PC right to your handheld, putting an incredible range of mapping capabilities in the palm of your hand! With full-color maps of city streets, national landmarks, historical sites, and more, you can locate street addresses with ease. Simply input the city, ZIP code, or street address to find the desired location. Or, you can zoom in on a particular area. Watch as an entire city gets mapped out in detail, and use your handheld's directional arrows (up, down, right, left) to pan views. Calculate distances between travel points to find the fastest and most efficient route. This program even offers restaurant, airline, hotel, and other travel information to make travel planning a breeze! Average Rating:
 Rating: - Okay Desktop, poor PDAThis product is okay when used as a reference tool on your desktop computer. However, to reiterate and reinforce other reviews it is misleading and a poor tool for your PDA. You are only allowed to save static maps to your PDA. Once the map is on your PDA you can not zoom or view street names, which makes the product highly useless on your portable device. I give the product one star only because it is usefull when used on the desktop computer. Since it's target audience seems to be the PDA ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely worthlessThis software would have been a marvel twenty-five years ago. I couldn't return my copy fast enough. The details that they say are downloadable from the web are not there. Rather than Streets Maps & Vacation Planner buy a good old fashioned paper map. It is far better. Rating: - Useless -- maps static and at least 5 years oldNot only are the maps not interactive on the PDA, as other reviewers have pointed out, but I found the maps of the South Bay to be at least five years old. A major section of Highway 85 that was completed over five years ago is not shown on the map. A close inspection of the product packaging does refer to "static" maps (maybe they mean static in time as well -- locked in at 1997!); however, I feel that the packaging is deliberately misleading so that the buyer can easily get the impression ... Read More Rating:  - Not worth itThis software seems like it was designed more for your desktop than your palm. On your desktop, it is a fully interactive map of the U.S. But you can only load a single still picture on to your palm. No zooming, no address finder, nothing!!! If you're looking for interactive map software for your palm, stay away. But not bad for your desktop. Rating: - Useless, only creates fixed images on PalmThis product uses a simple interface on the PC to outline an area for which a map is to be generated. An image, and nothing else, is downloaded to the Palm. There is no searching by street, zooming, or anything else on the Palm. Worse still, the image capture on the PC won't display individual streets except at the few highest zooms and then the area is quite small. So, either the map on the Palm is uselessly small (a square mile or so) or it doesn't actually contain city streets. Either way, ... Read More |
