As usual the Windows mobile community gets shafted, probably because we can get, and expect, most of our apps for free anyway!

hehe, not to mention that microsoft themselves have abandoned the platform

Did a short run to Burralow, and set the program up.
First issue is that the app won't run once you lose network access.
Perhaps you'd do okay with Telstra's NextG network, but others will drop not too far in.

Which brings the biggest issue with the app, it's reliance on a gsm/3G network.

The programs intensions are good, but that issue is a killer.

Hardly ideal if you want to map a desert trip, even parts of the Watagans have patchy signal on Next G. Looks like the OziExplorer type set-ups are still safe
