Offline maps without GPS

Here's what I want:
I want to be able to view the maps of a place on my PPC (HTC Touch) without GPS. Kind of like Google Maps without an active internet connection.
So, the application must:
1. Be able to open and not complain that I don't have a GPS chip.
2. Must let me search for a street name, must show the map.
3. Must plot the way to a destination, again without a GPS.
4. Must work completely offline, with the maps that are on my SDcard, must not require any connection of any kind.
I can download the trial versions of all navigators and try one by one, but if you guys can recommend a software that does what I want, you'll save me great time.
Thanks...

Most GPS navigation programs will be able to work without a GPS chip, and as a rule, they use offline map information stored in your SD card. For example, you can try Tomtom or i-Go. Any of them can do what you want with minor configuration touches.

On my htc touch I'm using smart2go which is free and does everything you want. Install and start it once (without any maps). Then close it, put your memory card in a card reader and use "nokia map loader" to download the maps you want. All for free.

i'd love to have googlemaps running with saved maps, rather than downloading them.

Thanks a lot for the answers... I'll try smart2go first, if it doesn't work then tomtom.. and I agree that if googlemaps could work offline, it'd be the best navigation solution ever..

Just a hint: Before being able to load the maps to the memory card I had to change the version of the map loader application in the file qf which is in the root directory of the memory card! (it was 1.1 and changed it to 1.3)

how does the navigation work when the 3 day trial is over

Don't need navigation. Just look up places and calculate way from A to B.

Try www.mgmaps.com. If you can overlook that it's a Java midlet and a bit harder to setup than other commercial solutions this app provides a great featureset that in parts goes beyond what TomTom & Co. have to offer.

For a long time i've been looking for something like via michellin for pda, with a map installed in a storage card and a program that give me the indications from A to B.

Smart2Go 1.1w does all this!!!
