I'm looking for continuous mapping software.

Most of the software I've seen for the PPCs seems to have discreet maps for a particular area. One city at a time sort of thing.

Here's what I want to be able to do. I tour by motorcycle. 600 to 1000 mile days aren't unusual. Frequently on remote two lane roads. I want to be able to find those cool 2 lanes and do a bit more improvisation, wherever I am, without having to load different maps every 50 miles.

I've got a 1 gig SD card which can easily accommodate detail maps of, at the very least, the entire western US. I don't think the entire data of MS S&T amounts to that on my PC, and that covers the whole US.

I don't have or plan on getting a GPS at this time, though a great deal on a BT308 or similar might change my mind. But maps are a big feature for me, and I want continuous mapping like my friends who have dedicated GPSes.

TIA for any suggestions ;)
