It seemed a bit unclear, but this product WILL work on the Pocket PC, as well as possibly any other device, as long as it runs the Town Compass Data Viewer. For it to function, just create (it's probably already there) a 'Town Compass' folder on your Storage Card, then copy TC_WORLD BOOK '03.PDB from your CD's INSTALL folder to it. You should then be able to open up Town Compass and the "Palm Database" should be loaded.
