MS Pocket Street maps of London (U.K) not opening

I have the IPAQ 1940 with PocketStreets from Streets &
Trips 2004. Downloaded some maps from MS the maps of
London (Central) and London (North) will not open in the
IPAQ. Actually hangs the program. A few other maps
opened fine.

Anyone else tried these maps with their PPC?

Thanks.

Sunny,
That one is a well known bug that Microsoft is working on. The only work
around is using AutoRoute or MapPoint 2004 to produce a larger map that does
not have London in the middle.

Or ensure you do not include the meridian i.e. Greenwich or anything East of
Greenwich in the Central London Map.

Thanks for the replies. I only have Streets & Trips 2004.
That was why I DL'd the maps from MS instead of making my
own.
I guess I'd have to make do with other maps when we go on
our trip.

If you let me know what areas you require I can export them for you.

Darren,

Any chance you could post maps that will work, or put them somewhere we
could download them; I'm sure there are many of us with this problem...
I'm keen to get maps of all areas of London andI don't mind how they're
split up.

Thanks, Peter

Ok, I've created two maps covering Central London West & East. That
encompasses all the central areas of note including all the tourist sights.

I've posted them at http://www.griffinnet.co.uk/downloads.htm . If there
are any issues or you need a specific outer area not covered by these let me
know but producing map tiles to cover the whole London area is rather more
complicated!
