maybe someone can help.
In my never ending quest to find a cheap/good way to do something, I had the bright idea of having a text to speech program read off the directions from pocket streets 2002 via my new car audio/ppc conection, thereby avoiding the investment of a few hundred on a gps system - i don't drive all over the place for work, but i love to tinker.
Alas, pocket streets does not support the direction aspect of the desktop software, and though I can export the directions as text to Word, pocket Word loses all the original's nifty formatting. I haven't bothered with the text to speech yet, as I feel like my wings have already been clipped.
Do any other map programs or route planners support line by line text direction/route without the GPS module?
