Please log in for more thread options I am sorry it is not what you expected, but I honestly wouldn''t hold my
breath for a WMDC or third party solution very soon. You capitalized the
wrong word in the response though, should have been 'assumption'. Lots of
things aren't as you might expect them, the fact that WM devices are
upgradeable doesn't mean they will be. You would think devices with GPS in
their spec like the IMate PDA-N and At&T Tilt would have some GPS
application, neither do. You would think Pocket Streets would accept Routes
from Streets and Trips, and on and on. This is not an item that hasn't been
covered. A search or question before the fact would have saved you this
irritation. I don't think anyone here would tell you a device does something
it doesn't. From personal experience I can't say the same for those that
sell stuff, which is why I inquired about whether you had been told it
would.
