Default Michelin PDA Maps

Has anybody used the Michelin PDA map software, specifically with a Palm OS
5 + GPS device like the Garmin iQue 3600?

It says on the site that you can download it and find your location on the
maps, navigate, etc. using the GPS. Since Mapsource wants over $500 for
their Europe disk, and it only offers partial coverage in France, I'm
considering this as an alternative. The
Belgium-France-Luxembourg-Switzerland set is only 59 euros, and you can add
the Red Guide for about the same.

Default Michelin PDA Maps

Seems to me mapquest maps for the Palm PDA are pretty useless; I thought
of getting the Michelin ones, but once I saw how bad the mapquest ones
were, I did not pursue it. I think it is because you can't fit enough
detail on the small size of a pda screen, but as always YMMV. I think
I'll continue to manage with hard copy maps. I'm still trying to decide
if PDA's are worth it for timetables, since overlaying timetables does
not seem to work.
