I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to imagine how any of us got around before the invention of Google Maps. The online app is now probably the best way of finding the best route between A and B, and is also great for looking down at your house from the clouds.

Combined with GPS satellite positioning and a mobile phone, Google Maps is a powerful weapon against getting lost, and Google Navigator merges these three things beautifully. The program is able to download maps from the great Google site for offline viewing.

From here Google Navigator can search, view points of interest, plan routes and explore any area of the planet. Like Google Maps, the program includes three viewing modes: map, satellite, and hybrid; different zoom levels, and the ability to save your routes KML

More importantly, if you have GPS, you can view your position on the screen and activate the route planner navigation mode. This works in much the same way as a sat-nav system you'd use in a car and even includes voice instructions to help you get to where you're going.

If you find yourself getting lost on a regular basis, Google Navigator will help you get out of tight situations using your Pocket PC. If you have a GPS receiver too, you'll find this app even more useful.

Imagine if you could use your Pocket PC to sniff-out wi-fi hotspots. No more of that walking around wth your laptop looking for that elusive WiFi. Simply use Sniffi to literally sniff out WiFi spots in your neighborhood or working area. Sniffi is an advanced WiFi networks manager which may be used to search for hotspots, as a connection manager or as a network parameter monitor.

The application works in a very similar way to Windows WiFi network manager. The list of available networks is clearly displayed together with their ID, protection status and signal strength. There's a day/night color profile, fullscreen switch and you can switch it from vertical to horizontal mode easily. You can even perform pings on available networks and view TCP/IP stats for each one.

This is not the most effective WiFi detection system as much will depend on your mobile's capabilities but if you can't be bothered turning on your laptop to see what's available, its better than nothing.

Despite all the advancements in mobile technology in recent years, no manufacturer has yet managed to invent a self-powering phone, and as such our devices are often rendered 'immobile' such is out need to charge them all the time.

One of the surest ways to drain the power from your Pocket PC is having the display on all the time. Of course, most of the time this isn't a problem as you don't actually leave the screen on at all times.

However, there are certain applications, such as MP3 players, GPS loggers and desktop syncing tools that, by default, leave your display running while you're using them. In most cases you don't need to see the display and as such are simply wasting precious battery.

BlackMe provides a simple, no-nonsense way of turning off your phone's display when you don't need it on. You just need to assign a key to the program, then strike that key any time you want to power-off the display. Pressing the central button on your PPC's d-pad will switch the screen back on. It really is that simple.

Although BlackMe has nothing in the way of a program interface or special features such as display shutdown scheduling, you may still find it a valuable battery lifesaver.

I'm a big fan of the great outdoors and love to go off exploring hills, valleys and streams whenever I can. Unfortunately though, I have no sense of direction, which has led me into a few scrapes in my time.

Step forward Tracky, an application that allows you to plan out routes and track your current position through a highly visual interface. In order to use the program, you need to set your start and finish points, along with any places you want to visit in between.

Using GPS technology you can then take it out with you and get a portable view of your current course and baring at all times. The software downloads maps from Google Maps to provide you with a pretty detailed plan of where you are in the world. The amount of stats and options locked within Tracky are incredible, and you can access all sorts of information about your real-time altitude, speed and distance to the individual marker points.

All this is great and everything, but compared to many Sat Nav systems I've tried, it all seems remarkably fiddly to set up. The zoom control is a trifle cumbersome, GPS configuration can take some messing with, and there is a distinct lack of user help within the program itself.

Although Tracky can certainly help you find your way back down the mountain, the chances are you'll be stuck up there for a while figuring out how to use the darn thing.

Golf is a good walk ruined, Mark Twain said, I think. Well now there's no excuse, because IntelliGolf has absolutely every excuse covered.

It calculates all your strokes, tells you the yardage to the hole using GPS-tracking, allows you to store notes for every shot, set up handicaps, keep tabs on the scores of all your rivals, and evaluates each player's performance with a graph.

It's a really comprehensive piece of kit that lets you set up and store yardage, pars and handicaps for new golf courses as well as download signature courses complete with all stats and GPS co-ordinates.

In fact the only problem is that perhaps it's too accurate. I always like to cheat a little.

Since the iPhone landed on planet Earth it seems like every mobile developer is trying to come up with a way of managing contacts as slickly as the Apple device does.

This effort from 'Jotto' Andersen is a noble one, presenting your Pocket PC contacts in an interesting and innovative manner and allowing you to access them without the use of the stylus. To call up someone in your address book, you simply need to start typing on the large QWERTY keyboard and matching records will pop up above. Simply click the contact that you want and you're then ready to get in touch with them.

You can then choose to call them, send an SMS or email, or even send them your GPS location via Google Maps. The screens are beautifully presented with a black background, colourful Mac-style icons and a stylish keyboard. Accessing contacts is a very quick affair and the program uses very little memory.

Unfortuately there are a few key features missing, such as the ability to add or edit contacts (there is a one-click link to your Outlook address book though) and I noticed quite a few bugs when testing the program. For example, if you try to access a record with no details stored the program crashes.

Nevertheless, Finger-Friendly Friends is a decent attempt at replicating the iPhone-style contacts manager on Windows Mobile.

Using Franson GpsGateTM it is possible to share one GPS between many applications running on a laptop or handheld computer. Today’s solutions only allow one application to take exclusive access of a connected GPS. As more applications are becoming position aware, GPS sharing will become a necessity.

Main features
• Share one GPS between several applications
• Garmin USB to NMEA conversion
• More stable GPS connection
• GPS simulation and logging

Share GPS

One application doesn’t solve all needs for one user. The ability to run several applications at the same time is the key to all modern computing. The same logic goes for GPS applications. But using today’s GPS tech-nology this isn’t possible! GpsGate overcomes this limitation, and makes GPS users much more productive.
