Odd Streets and Trips install issue

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

It sounds like you may not have any maps loaded. When you start pocket
streets, you should see a File Explorer window listing all of the maps
you've loaded on your Pocket PC. When you tap on the city you want, it
pulls up the map.

Yes, this is correct. Actually, you can download Pocket Streed maps from
the Pocket Streets Web Site. They have one for just about every major city.
It's pretty cool!!

Here's a link to download the maps:

D'oh! I was expecting it to act more like S&T on the
PC. Thanks!

Or you create your own map(s) from Autoroute so you get the area(s) you
want.

Anybody had any luck opening the London Center map? I tried and get the
little clock thingy that runs forever (hours!). I can search for items
(e.g., Buckingham) and it works, but the map never comes up. I've opened up
5 other downloaded EU maps, but London CTR, seems broke.

It's a fairly well known issue.

Try recreating your maps but don't let them cross the prime meridian, the
issue seems to be where the map straddles it. Create 2 maps and swap over
when you need to see what's on the 'other side'.
