It is PURELY WIRELESS. No content stored locally.
You'll find it at http://makeashorterlink.com/?G1B421E02
I doubt there will be any updates to it - the company went under a couple of months back. Pity, the underlying technology was sound.

Still not what I want!
My other complaint is that they support one GPS module for some Palm devices, but none of the GPS modules for the Handspring Visors.
Add better reviews or GPS and I'll pay up, add both and I'll pay double. Without that it isn't worth my time or money. I still have the free limited version on my Visor, but I haven't used it in months even though I eat out about 3-4 times a week.

RE: Still not what I want!
I don't have any problem that they are charging for the service now, its just not worth it to me. It just seems a bit like they were offering less of what I wanted 6 months ago. I got addicted to it when it was free, but as soon as they switched to Gayot I didn't like it as much. Then they started to charge. For my money it wasn't worth it to subscribe. If they continue to improve their service I'll try it again. Or, if they add GPS or Zaggots I'll pay up.
I really want the GPS service. It seems like they are so close because they already did it for one device. If I remember correctly it was for a Palm III or V GPS sled. There is no way that I'm down grading to that device. What would be awesome would be GPS support from the new GPS enabled smart phones. That way you would still have the expansion slot available for memory.

For finding movies and showtimes, it's the fastest, easiest way I've found! Beats looking movies up in the newspaper (the type size is a joke!), and movie phone is a navigation nightmare! I would spend more time navigating movie phone then actually watching the movie!
Would be nice if you could indicate favorite theaters, but otherwise, specifically for finding movie showtimes, I think it's well worth the $$$.

Can you give us more information on how to use GPS? I've looked at the Vindgo web page and emailed Vindgo, but they say they only support one GSP device.
Do you have this working?
You can email me directly at my username above at earthlink.net. I'm trying to avoid spam. Thanks.
I paid for vindigo
Sure, there are more features coming. If you eat our or travel, I think it's a worthwhile expenditure. Just for the record, I am among those who continuously post that games for the Palm cost way too much. They want to charge $15 - $25 for some game that should cost $5.
$24 a year for a dynamic services that covers the world is a good price from one cheap dude.

I live in London and agree, it's a good deal, especially if you live in a large city like London or New York.

However, given Vindigo supports only the USA and London, I think your statement that it thereby 'covers the world' is seriously unfunny.

Love The Service, But It's Not In My Area
I'm glad they've expanded to Knoxville. Now if they could only come a little west... :)

Vindigo slow on my Treo 300. And you?
I just bought a Treo 300 and find the Vindigo 2.0 software painfully slow.
Is it just my short attention span, is it the Treo? Does anyone else find it slow?
