Travel Guides

Wouldn't it be cool if you could download a lonely planet guide in electronic form onto your GP32. You could get loads of info on a 128Mb SMC and it would be so much more usable than a phone version.

Maybe something like this

Is there anything that could be adapted to work on the GP32?

Isnt there a very early beta map viewer for the GP already?

I think it only had one map with is tho

I just stick my maps into UnitedViewer, I have several different zoom mulitipication and i can mark places on the Map on my PC, excellent for navigating London

iMappy has several maps available for it, all Europe right now.

There is iMappy which can display city maps, although there are only a few available for it - the London Underground map is quite cool...

It was this lead me to thinking about travel guides.... with text, places to go, eat, accomodation, etc. A company like lonely planet could then keep the guides up to date - you would just download it before going somewhere...
