Wondering about Map Software

I've seen three or four different map software packages and I'm wondering if any of you fine people have used/seen any of them in action. I don't have a GPS unit, nor do I really plan on getting one. I would like to enter a TO and a FROM point and just get some directions and a map overview.
Additionally, I'd prefer to have all the maps on an SD card as opposed to having the CD-ROM in my desktop and downloading a particular city's map before heading out on a new adventure.

The software I've seen is the Rand McNally STREETS and they have another package called ATLAS.

I've also seen another package by MDM software...I don't remember the name of that particular one.

And of course, Microsoft has their brand.

RudyR1999, thanks for mentioning Mapopolis. I used it on Palm OS when I had my Visor. Didn't know they had a Pocket PC version. Will try it out.
Been there. Done that. Can't remember.

Mapopolis can link multiple maps together to get you from point A to point B, if required. I've been using it now for 6 months & I highly recommend it. As with any map software, just make sure you have a big enough memory card to store the maps (256mb minimum is my recommendation).
Ya just gotta love that Axim!
