Is there one out there now that can handle microsoft map point?

I would like to carry one with me on my call out weekends, but Ive been told that most out now will be sooo slow running this program.....

anyone out there experienced in these?

I have map point, but it's on my notebook. It's an awesome program that really comes in handy...... don't know about PDAs

buy a GPS receiver with maps.
I think they're under $200 now.

spitfiremkv, map point works with GPS receivers and is better than any map program I have seen. He probably uses it for a reason....it's not a cheap program.

I use it to create routes by importing excel files with location names, addresses etc.......it then creates a route and tags the names and marks each stop.

I also use it to find hotels, gas stations....whatever, including phone numbers.

If he can get it to work on a PDA, he has all he needs. I happen to use a notebook with GPS.
