I bought this software for driving direction exclusively on my PDA , because I had Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006 with pocket streets for the others things, but you are lucky person if you find a address in there; for each 20 searches I found only one so I Stopped to use it and i'm looking for another software just for driving direction on my PDA.

I've had my Pharos 525 with the Ostia software for about two years now, and it is a great little device. More than once it's saved our skin when we've gotten waylaid by roadwork detours, etc. Occasionally I've had addresses that are hard to get it to recognize, but usually it's just a matter of trying a different combination. I've found that while on the freeway, it gives plenty of notice for off-ramps, more so than the freeway signs, so I have plenty of time to prepare my exit. And when using it to go to known destinations, it has found shorter routes for me. It takes a little learning and getting used to, but after that, it's a breeze.

Need product support? Look elsewhere or take up a hobby like knitting. Left a few messages, haven't heard that they even recieved the calls and emails. Need a product that is easy to use while on the road? Buy something else - a caveman can't use it and you aren't going to have much luck either. Want to waste a $150? Bet on a horse - you might get your money back and you'll certainly have fun watching the race (assuming you can find the track to begin with). Want maps that are less than 4-6 years old? Try an abandoned gas station - you'll have better luck there. With all these advantages why would you want to buy this software? I weep for you if you decide to buy this.
