Route 66 is a Dutch (not American) company that writes navigation software which works on mobile devices. Their latest, called the Mobile 7 is a new version for Windows Mobile smartphones, such as the MDA Compact II. Route 66 previously only concentrated on Symbian and Pocket PC devices.
The software-only pricing is £69 for one country/region and £105 all European maps. If you don’t have a Bluetooth receiver, the full kit version is £209 or £279 depending on your mapping choice.
Here are some features of the software:
