Summary: Without peer for Palms, and now colorful.
Review: I've been using Mapopolis maps since they were free, meaning I was one of many thousands of Palm/ Handspring users to shake out the bugs, offer improvements, and see the thing evolve from 1.x to its current 5.x release point. So why buy?One, the maps are good. Imagine you have 160x160 resolution
for a minute (open up Paint or Paintbrush and make a 160x160
image to get an idea of how small that really is). You need
to map where something is in, say, New York City. Mapopolis
allows you to zoom out and find your main artery, say Sixth Avenue. As you move roughly to where your intended map will be (say 200 Madison Avenue), you can zoom in, and more street names become visible. (Easily checked off if you prefer a more terse application). By the time you get down to street level, you'll not only see 200 Madison Avenue, but the side of the street it's on. Two, zooming in and out is easy. Finding your location doesn't mean losing your overall picture. Three, maps on Mapopolis are fast. While they aren't as pretty as a Mapquest map downloaded to your color PDA, they scale up and down, and show you the entire island of Manhattan. Nobody else gets you this much map for the money. Four, you can forget about folding maps, finding maps, buying maps. You can store maps for everything within 200 miles of your house on a normal PDA; with a Memory Stick/SD/CF-enabled PDA, you can store maps for everything within 1000 miles. You'll run out of gas before you run out of map, and the form factor never changes. For the money (and it's really economical (under forty) for an entire CD-ROM full of maps), there isn't anything close to Mapopolis.

Summary: Mapopolis Crashed my Zire 71!
Review: It made my Zire unstable and I had to do a complete reset after removing the offending software. Some of the addresses could not be found. Save your money and get Street Finder instead!
