Do any of these other new ones allow you to create and/or save a route?
Not a great fan of it, but DeLorme's mobile app lets you do this. In fact you can create routes and waypoints (pushpins/POIs) on either the PPC or the desktop and transfer to the other. That's right, you can create and save a route on the PPC and then transfer it to the desktop software. Another interesting feature is that you can cut maps from both their Street Atlas (car nav) program, and their TOPOUSA (topographic/offroad) desktop apps for use in the mobile app.

My gripes? Well, it is not as slick looking as the TomToms and OnCourse Navs, and has a weird interface...but then so do their desktop apps.

Oh, yea, it comes with Street Atlas....free, like Pocket Streets used to.

P.S. I love(d) Mapopolis
