Thanks for your replies. I have an android phone, but in Car I prefer to use my 4.3 inch screen windows CE device. I was using Oziexplorer CE and intend to use that for offroad applications, but for in city navigation, esp when I travel abroad, I want something which can allow me to 1. Create tracklogs 2. Navigate along a GPS track(saved from google earth and then edited in viking or something) 3. Navigate to a POI
I did try Navit on my android, but it has only "address" navigation option. Navigate to POI is not there. I guess I will read the manual or something regards Tanveer On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 10:59 PM, Kai Krueger <kakrue...@gmail.com> wrote: > Another good option for an offline routing application is mapFactor > Navigator > Free ( http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/en/ ).
