I'm doing some geolocative work and do not, as of yet, have a map that I'm using in winmobile 6 SDK. I'd like to sync a map with some points up in the winmobile app. I'm wondering who knows where I should start, what map SDK to use, and if there's any particular pitfalls to avoid, points to consider, etc.

Thanks a lot!

Trimble do some geocode stuff with MAPs, but they are limited to trimble device and are v.expensive. Are you looking to show the map on the device or on a PC after data has been uploaded?

Google maps for the PC allows you to pass log/lat values in a URL and view that on the device, however I don't know how much of that functionality is going to be available on the mobile.

I was looking to be able to grasp a map on the mobile itself. It doesn't have to be dynamic, necessarily. I could settle for the map being a downloaded jpg or something to that effect.

Well then you would need to know which positions on the map lines up to what Longitude and what latitude.
