Title: GPS software for laptops
Post by: Half-Saint on Wed, 18 August 2010, 03:14:28

Hey,

I'm looking for decent GPS software that will run under Windows XP. Problem is, the stuff I find is either for Windows Mobile, smart-phones or discontinued.

Cheers

I use Microsoft MapPoint on a Fujitsu Siemens P1510 with WinXP installed as car GPS. It works great.

Thanks for the tip! Mine is a P1610 :-) Have you tried Garmin Mobile PC?

EDIT: I just noticed that Garmin Mobile PC was discontinued. I need software that has decent Euro maps.
