Question Turn by Turn Directions for Pocket Streets?

Hi...does anyone know if Pocket Streets has this feature? I have downloaded an awesome map of Seattle and can view all the streets, many restaurants, and even locate spots I need to visit - however I cannot find any feature that actually builds the driving directions for me. Does this feature exist in the Pocket version? I sure hope so.

I believe what you need to do, and I'm not 100% sure about this, is have MS Streets on your PC as well and generate your route there. Once it's complete, you can copy it over to the PPC.

If your only worried about your local area, you
can goto mapopolis.com and get a map
for 10 bucks with driving directions from any
street address to any street address

Or you can get a year subscription for around 35
and get any maps...

Unless you want GPS options for 45

unless you want GPS + Voice prompts and
re-routing for $99

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give that a try right now.

Pocket Streets has no routing functionality. It is simply a map with some landmarks on it with some very primative GPS functionality. That's it... which may be sufficient for some. If you want a real PPC routing program then I agree with the previous poster about Mapopolis. I'm very happy with it.

Nope, won't work. PS has ZERO routing capability and cannot use a route created on the PC version. Sorry.
