Argh--why aren't there any pocket pc friendly driving direction/map web sites

[Eriq Cook]

I am surprised that virtually every major maps/driving directions web site like expediamaps.com, mapquest, and google maps, etc. are not compatible with Pocket PC's. This is crazy. What are some web sites that I can access driving directions info from on a pocket pc?

msn local maps:

Thanks. The Google seems to work the best (although it should be an easier URL to access). I was thinking that it'd make sense to have a .mobi version of these maps/driving direction web sites. Perhaps in a few years :?

There was another thread just recently talking of someone who created a front end page for the google stuff. I couldn't find it.

Dig around, it may have been a front page article on Smartphonethoughts. With the new QVGA cell phones out now, many of the mini pages originally set up for cellphone mini screen resolution are now PPC compliant as well.
you can also setup a personalized homepage at http://www.google.com/pda . Easiest to setup on PC the first time then access on PDA with a Favorite link. I use it as my device homepage
