How about script's ?
I had the same idea. Used the palm (4 or 5 years ago) and even bought a very expensive water and shockproof case....
I gave the idea up and used a oldfashioned paper-roadbook holder.
Why?
Try entering Urdu, or Farsi, or Hindi, or Thai, or arabic script into your palm...... Does not work.
Unfortunatly, many roadsigns are written in these scripts.
So, what did I do?
I planned my route on the map. Wrote all the important city-names on my roadbook-paper and asked a local guy (or gail) to write the local script behind it.
This way you can find any place, anywhere..... except in Mexico (see my website for the mexican national sport and the letter X)
By the way, my roadbook-holder was made out of a old lunchbox, some (also old) radio knobs and somealuminium-curtain-rod. It still works! (after years of torture)
Hope this helps
