Palmtop obviously adapted the code for Route Planner from its product for the European market, which makes obvious sense, but the company's made no effort to change it for the US market.
Palmtop has positioned this product as a "route" planner, not a comprehensive street map (that's available in Palmtop's Street Planner '99 software, but not for the U.S. yet).
Palmtop is one of the best developers on the EPOC scene (see the acclaimed My Pocket), so I don't doubt that they can pull it off.

I also forayed into the world of palmtops themselves, and tried out all the options confronting shoppers who must decide among older but cheaper PalmPilots, the new Palm III, and the latest Windows CE copycats.

Recall that the Connectivity Pack cable has a DB-9 female connector to plug into your desktop or laptop computer, and is therefore wired as a null modem so that your Palmtop appears to your computer as a modem.

The first working circuit was still a bit large for the palmtop, but I compressed it when it worked and that smaller one fitted where it was intended to be: Into the hinge tube.
