Yes , that's true, those ones are all Russian maps but I've also got a complete set of IGN maps on the PDA for most of North / West Africa that work exactly the same and look the same as the paper ones but at the moment can't remember where I got them from.
The IGN ones would be far better for Morocco than the Russian ones. If you're methodical you can scan / photograph your own paper maps, calibrate and use those.
Another programme I've got on the PDA - GPS Tuner, is better than Ozi for this kind of thing. I'm sure it's possible to get the raw pictures from Google Earth to use in these programmes but other than doing this for a few tricky areas such as the Western Sahara / Mauri border I've not taken this any further.
Anyone out there willing to do an entry level seminar on how to use GE on something like Ozi would have my gratitude ( but sadly no money!)
I've not used memory map so I don't know what that looks like but with Ozi on the PDA you get a picture on the screen that looks exactly like the paper map except it has a "you are here" red arrow in the middle and the whole thing moves as you move.
You can't tell it to plot you a route the way you can with TomTom sat nav, it just tells you where you are. You can also do waypoints, tracklogs etc and there are conversion programmes around that'll change waypoints from one format to another.
