My earlier post about there being no good software out there for mobile devices turned out to have been ill-informed. I'm just behind the times on these things, as it's not an area of tech that usually piques my interest...until now, since I have one. Handango seems to have descended in the last four years (when I got my PalmOS-based Garmin GPS/ ( Read more... )
