Driving Directions

Are there any PPC apps that can give you driving directions based on the internal maps and do NOT require GPS hardware to do so?

I really don't want full GPS but would love an app that I can put two addresses in and get directions. Similar to Mapquest but in my hand.

Thanks.

Probably the most intuitive at that is Mapopolis. It simply asks for starting location and ending location and does not require a GPS. Some of the others are more GPS-integrated, although as motionmind says most will let you do that one way or another.

I second Mapopolis. You just have to get over trying to figure out what county maps you need to get where you're going. I believe they even have a cheaper version of their maps without GPS coordinates for uses like yours.
