DO NOT BUY THIS!
By A1MYM6ZVMAD70O on 2004-12-07
OK, this seemed like such a great addition to my Palm. I'm in a new city I don't know very well, and I travel all over, all of the time. First of all, this cost $40 when I bought it, which is way too much. The interface is really bad. It loads slowly, the maps are hard to read. You have to buy an extra SD card to use the maps that you download from their site (and their site really isn't that intuitive). The extra card cost me another $30. So I blew $70 to make this work, and it just doesn't! The maps end at the city limits, so if I have to head just a little into the suburbs, I'm out of luck. But HERE'S the kicker. The maps are wrong! They are routinely off by about 3-4 blocks, and not in one consistent direction! My apartment is about 4 blocks off to the East. My friend's house is 3 blocks off to the South. If I want to use this to get directions... VERY SLOWLY LOADED directions, I am not even sure I'm going to end up in the correct location, and I see that as a BIG problem! Don't waste your money. You're better off searching at home with Streets and Trips or Mapquest and printing these directions out the old fashioned way!
Should allow for negative rating

What a worthless purchase. I do a lot of travelling and thought this would be great. Sounded wonderful, even sold on the palmone website. Boy was I ever mistaken. Wish I would've gotten the reviews before wasting my money. You can't read the maps, maps are only for a few cities, and the interface is less than user friendly. I finally went with Earthcomber, but when that didn't have directions (just the map and POI, but its all free) I got Mapopolis, which is wonderful. If you want Directions on the Go, rethink it, I suggest Mapopolis. Same price (also a free trial version of ANY map in the US for 9 days) and also has contiguous maps of the entire US with direction capability and POI's!!!!
HORRIBLE!! HORRIBLE!!! HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the worst software purchase I've ever made. I wish I looked at the two reviews in before making a decision! I live outside Philadelphia, which is the 5th largest city in the USA. After buying the software and going to all the trouble to download, register, etc, I find out they don't even have a map available for download for the Philadelphia area!!!!!!!!
WORTHLESS!
Now my money is wasted. Buy.com will not take back a return(only store credit less shipping and handling) so I'm f*cked out of 40 bucks and more importantly my valuable time.
A totally and completely worthless product. DO NOT BUY!
Warning: Buy at your own risk!!!

I wouldn't even rate this a '1' because I feel so gipped out of the $35 I spent. I bought this product as a gift for my boyfriend through Amazon a while back-- before there were any reviews about this product. I have to agree with all of the previous reviews. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area, this product is completely useless. I thought that this would be a good alternative for him instead of going to Mapquest on his phone. Now, he just winds up using mapquest anyways. If you need directions to and from the city, 'Directions on the Go' works fine, but if you need to travel from the city to the suburbs or vice versa, you're out of luck.
He never even uses this product anymore... Poor gift choice on my part.
Very, very unhappy
By ASYC9AM7TJJE0 on 2005-02-22
I am NOT happy with this product. They don't even have the major cities in my state, let alone the city I live in. When I emailed them about it, they said they were updating the cities but mine was not on the list and they didn't know when it would be. I'm definitely getting my $40 bucks back and never buying their products again!
