A while back I bought a used Palm Treo 650 with a Rikaline Bluetooth receiver. It runs Mapopolis from a memory card in the smartphone. When I bought the phone I knew that Mapopolis would not be supported after a certain date. I needed the phone and the GPS was just a plus that I didn't think I'd use much. Turns out I like it much more that I thought I would. Can anyone tell me if I have any options upgrading from Mapopolis? Can I buy just the GPS software and still use the Rikaline receiver?

Do you have a data plan with your phone? is the treo 650 running windows?
If so, free options are google maps mobile and microsoft msn live search (with maps).

If you don't have a data plan...or windows, let me think...

hi max, I'm not sure what you mean by a daya plan but I have "Sprint PCS Vision Plan" which gives me internet and email access on the phone. My 650 runs Plam ver?.? and not Windows.

Max

Aha, yes I believe that plan means you do NOT pay for internet usage by the kilobit(?) and it's basically unlimited internet?

If so...give this a check, they CLAIM to have a PalmOS version

There is also TomTom for the PalmOS, but it's pricey

Yes, there is a google maps download for palm os, you can get the download here:

It will install on your PC as a .prc file and you sync it to the device.

Hey Max,

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it and let you know how it turns out. Nice looking scooter in the picture. Never had a Beemer, but always wanted one.

Thanks,
Bob
