I own a Hitachi G1000. I want to purchase Microsoft Streets & Trips with
GPS Locator.
I have a couple of questions:

() Does the Pocket Streets that comes with it offer Voice-Prompted Driving
Directions?

() Will this software run on a Smartphone with the following specs:

* The G1000 operating system is Pocket PC 2002 and that cannot be
upgraded.
* The G1000 has 32 MB of onboard RAM. However, I can use an SC card.
I currently own a 1 GB SC card with a lot of room.

Assuming that the software works with my unit, there is the matter of
connecting it to the G1000.

It has a Mini USB Port that is useless. My other options are:

* Serial Connection. This is proprietary, of course.
* SD slot thanks to the free SDIO Driver Upgrade.

For using the SDIO Slot, there seem to be options however given the limited
onboard RAM which means software/maps would have to be on a SC card, my
guess is they are not practical. (I am open to correction.)

For the serial connection, Pharos makes a Hitachi G1000 Assembly + Car
Charger for iGPS-360.
(Obligatory Link: http://snipurl.com/14q38)
Would that work with the GPS Locator that comes with MS Streets?

In short: Microsoft Streets & Trips with GPS Locator can be found on eBay
for $50 or even less, the Pharos connector runs about $35. Can I indeed
make those two purchases and have GPS navigation for driving with my G1000?

Pharos does make a kit that includes the Assembly, a iGPS-360 receiver and
their own Ostia Navigation Software. Since it's designed for the G1000 I'm
sure it would work however it is far pricier than the above solution and I
am trying to do this on the cheap.
