Default Have you tried the 'Windows Live Search for Mobile'?
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/smart...ile-218467.php

I just installed this on my ipaq rx3715 (Pocket PC), and I am loving it!

The actual download location is here:

I think the two best apps are . . .

http://www.mapforpda.com/
http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/G.../VEMobile.ashx

I use both but tend to rely upon Mapforpda a bit more. Best of all, both are free.

Wow, not sure how I missed it, but Windows Live Search is the best I've seen.

It was just released. So don't worry about having missed it.

If you have no gprs or other connection, Mapopolis is hands down the best one I have used and have been using, fastest redraws, most accurate and clear picture and easy management.

Otherwise livesearch is very good under fast connections (not like T-Mobiles crazy-slow net connection)
