Having used PALM software through 7 years and 3 devices, in addition to category contacts for OWNERS, BUSINESS/VENDORS, TENANTS, I also have PROPERTY information as a catetory with the directions to the properties AND a photo of the property exterior. This information is helpful giving directions to prospects when arranging viewing appointments ESPECIALLY when the property is new construction where GPS may not be helpful AND when providing directions to vendors/repairmen.
Don't be afraid to define your own CATEGORY * I have for my lockbox HASP codes as well as sign/lockbox placement on my properties.

Google and Yahoo maps for rural properties or new subdivisions are very inaccurate.....so I e-mail prospects GOOD directions prior to appts that I just copy and paste from my PROPERTY category in my PalmTX which syncs with my laptops at home and the office.
I started e-mailing directions to properties after the security patrol in a gated communmity brought the husband of a prospect couple to the property because his GPS brought him in through a back/unattended gate to the community and his cel phone would not work to reach his wife standing beside me at the property....I know it's a "guy thing"; however, I find if I get the directions into the wife's hands, they usually show up on time and at the correct property.
