Does MS Streets and Trips export routes for PDA?

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

No. Pocket Streets doesn't support routes, only pushpins, and those only one
way. A better way is to use some other mapping/navigation program if routes
are a requirement. There are many, from DeLorme Street Atlas Handheld, ~$40,
through Mapopolis and others around $100, to some costing upwards of $200.
Most are billed as working with GPS units but they can be used effectively
without them as well.

MS Streets is a poor substitute for GPS routing. If you need that, turn to a
real nav app like TomTom, iGuidance, Mapopolis, or the like.

I'm a former Pocket Streets User.
I just purchased software from PocketMap.com for my GPS on my PPC.
I know you didn't say anything about GPS but this software creates great
routes as well as directions etc. all without a GPS connected to the device.
It can even create routes from your contacts in your address book.
I'm very happy with the software and would recommend it to anyone with or
without a GPS.
