Waste of money

Dec 8, 2002 - By Amazon Customer (Sydney, Australia)

Palm's Worldcities is competing with a host of free up-to-date and easy to read information available in all airport arrivals lounges - and frankly, it performs poorly, I returned the product after just two days of navigating in NYC.

Palm's CitySync maps are low resolution and difficult to read on the Palm's screen - most cities have excellent foldout maps available for just a few dollars. For what's on and where to eat, 'TimeOut' or the equivalent weekly what's on magazine has got all the up-to-date info on where to eat and party, and CitySync's tourist info is a poor rendition on Lonely Planets excellent printed city guides.

The World Cities card does come bundled with some more or less useful software, including a trial version of the award-winning City Time global time application.

Clonclsusion: Spend the purchase price on local maps, what's on guides, and treat yourself to dinner and a few beers with the change.

Great Value!!!

Dec 11, 2002 - By Jerome (CA United States)

This card is GREAT! It has awesome travel guides of a bunch of cities like ROME, Amsterdam and New York! Everything is in high resolution so it looks great on the Tungsten T. The language translator, Small Talk, rocks! I highly recommend this for travelers!
