Hi all!

Does anyone know a solution to load Garmin Mapsource compatible maps to
a general Palm OS PDA?

There are myriads of free vector maps, which are Mapsource compatible
and very small in size. Since I don't own a Garmin iQue, I'm not sure
whether I could use Garmin's software on my Palm Zire 72 to display
these maps. Has anyone tried the software on a different Palm?

Is there any other vector mapping program for Palm OS which understands
Mapsource? It doesn't have to routable, only display the maps. I know,
Touratech QV 4 can read Mapsource maps and can export them to Pathaway,
but as far as know, Pathaway is only capable of showing raster maps, right?


Many thanks in advance!


Max

It should be pointed out that this requires the Garmin Bluetooth receiver.
