Perth Maps For Palm
Well
after getting my Palm TX, I wanted to use it as a portable map for
Perth, Australia. After reading a bit about GPS, it sounded pretty
easy. Get a nice Bluetooth GPS unit, and the software will plot routes
for me. Awesome :)Unfortunately, GPS software for the Palm is
not exactly easy to come by. In fact, there are only a couple of
companies who do it. Of those companies, I could only find 2 for
Australia. One looked ok, but not available for for Perth. The other
was raster map based, so you can’t really zoom. I don’t want to pay for
that!Even the raster maps were not available for Perth! So,
rather than pay for something that is not yet produced, we can use
what’s already out there: whereis.com.au. If you get the map for the
area you want, view the printable image, then you can download that to
your PDA. Easy, and works for Perth
