GPSTuner is an off-road navigation software for Pocket PC devices. While regular navigation systems maybe able to get you to the beginning of the trail, GPSTuner gives you the ability of navigation where the roads end. GPS Tuner is designed for hiking, geocaching, boating, flying, driving and many other sporting activities. The software costs $34 for Standard (1Year Free Upgrades),
$24 for Basic (no Upgrades), and $48 for GEO (Area calculation plus 1Year Free Upgrades). There’s a really nice review on MobiliySite if you are looking for such a software.

The only downside which most users might be concerned about is the lack of bundled maps. While there is a global map provided, it is a very low resolution picture, and should only ever be used to confirm that your GPS reflects you are located in the correct country. You can of course zoom-in to confirm your location relative to your city’s approximate location, but herein lies the another downside to the program: because the map is a raster image (just a JPG picture), it pixelates more and more the further you zoom in, where as a vector-based map would provide more and more details the further-in you zoomed.
