PalmOne: Directions on the Go Right now


Worst software purchase ever! After having a useful Psion directions program when I lived in London 6 years ago, I thought I should get something similar for my Palm Zire 72 now I'm in Seattle. I even thought there might be some improvements in the last few years, especially with Palm being the market leader...WRONG!!
If I type in my (unique!) Seattle address, it gives me 3 options - all of which are incorrect! It defaults to one 30 blocks north of me! Then practically every address I have looked for (friend's houses, restaurants, etc.) have been incorrect too! Sometimes addresses even come up on the maps and directions as "@#8&%%!??#@ Avenue"!! The program also crashes and it takes several attempts at entering the data from scratch each time before it takes it (and spits out the incorrect information!).
So this has been a total and utter waste of money and time and the source of much unnecessary stress! I bought it from the Palm Store and couldn't return it as it was open box software, so I then contacted smart2go/MDM but they would only offer me a choice of one of their other programs as a consolation. Their selection was limited and as I did not want the Bible, went for an Encyclopedia card (which I will probably never use)...
DO NOT BUY!!Get more detail about PalmOne: Directions on the Go.
