Right so i've bought a copy of Traffic-i, so i don't need to listen to RDS on the radio ever again (Which is nice 'cos i hardly ever have the radio on), now i need a decent road atlas program!

Anyone know of such a beast for the P800?

The best one for portable devices is TomTom Citymaps, but they have not released it for the P800. Maybe if enough people hassle them they will consider it.

I had it on a Nokia 9210 and, although slower than the IPAQ version it certainly did the job. You have to choose what maps you want loaded on the phone though - you don't just install a complete country, you select by town. Also, the level of detail you select to download is reflected in file size.

Hmm, ah well, i though with Traffic-i being on the market that there would at least be a half decent road map program too!

Guess i'll have to be patient, unless some clever bod can email me a copy of GOmap, which i just can't successfully download!
