 Solus Pro mapping
software for Palm OS handhelds is an affordable program for the
PDA user on the go. This useful program from DeLorme offers
comprehensive, communicative maps with all of the important
information that you need to be well organized, while on the
road or navigating through your own hometown.
Installing Solus Pro can be a bit tricky. In most cases of
installing PDA software, the user expects the necessary
components to install automatically after a sync operation.
However, with this application, the user must enter the program,
and manually add Solus Pro and any desired maps to the sync
list.
After it has been installed, Solus Pro is an extremely valuable
program. Ten different cities are available to download to your
Palm OS device, accompanied by a Web site within which any user
can find just about any place in the U.S. The user can access
detailed vector maps and directions for quick searching; find
streets, addresses, and address-book contacts; zoom to five
levels; customize maps; and control the map features that are
best to display for each user.
One drawback is that this program probably shouldn't be used in
a hurry, as it can be a bit slow--most likely, because of the
high level of detail. Additionally, be careful of your free
memory--each city can take up a significant amount of space.
If you're looking for a high-tech way to avoid having to ask for
directions, Solus Pro offers one in this reliable, highly
customizable navigation solution. --Kendra Hayden
