odyssey mobile navigation software for your Pocket PC

Jul 18, 2006 gps navigation, software

The Odyssey Mobile from Infogation is a full navigation system that can run on your PocketPC. It is capable of 3D as well as 2D (duh!) map navigation and an electronic compass. The full version costs $150 but you can also buy time-limited versions of the software for a fraction of that amount. We think the price is a little steep when you compare its functions to that of a MS Streets and Trips which you can pick up for less than $100 including the GPS receiver.
