MSN Maps, Why Not Compatable?

[Damama]

I use MSN to plan trips (at least I did BEFORE I got the iQue 3600). Since I'm still a Noobie (had my iQue for a whole week!), I was all excited that I can load maps directly from MSN, per the Icons asking if I want to PRINT, EMAIL, or SEND to a PDA. Cool! But last night, as I was loading Waypoints, I hit the PDA icon and the first note says that MAN doesn't support any Palm OS devices. What's up with that? I still used MSN to locate places, then switched to MapSource which I had up at the same time, to locate and select WayPoints. Does anyone know WHY MSN maps rejects Palm?:(

Because Microsoft does not have an OS that runs on palm devices, only on Pocket PCs. I don't see why you would still need MSN maps anyway. The Garmin maps and navigation should be greatly superior.

Well, it's not that I NEED MSN, but since it is easy to find locations I wanted to WayPoint on MSN, it would have been easier to just load them directly from MSN to the PDA without having to again find the location on MapSource. maybe I'm just not using MapSource correctly. I certainly haven't read all the "How To" manuals. :rolleyes:
