Editorial Review
With the Lonely Planet CitySync USA Springboard module, you can travel light with your Handspring Visor and still carry a load of up-to-date travel information for New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. CitySync's incredible search and sort feature and scrollable maps ensure you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for to keep from getting lost. Whether it's a late-night restaurant near your hotel, live music near the best sushi in town, or the museum closest to the locals' favorite spot for Sunday brunch, CitySync puts it just a tap away. And once you've found it, CitySync can automatically record the details in your Visor's datebook.
Getting lost is hard to do with CitySync's scrollable street maps. Hotels, restaurants, attractions, and nightspots are labeled on every map, so you always know where you are, where you're going, and what cool things are nearby.
Register the module online at www.citysync.com and get a bonus fifth city of your choice to load onto your Visor. You can choose from Bangkok, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, Miami, New Orleans, Paris, or Sydney.

Customer Reviews
Falling just a bit short of high expectation. 
2000-12-14
As a long time Lonely Planet fan, I've often cited and sworn by their guidance. The CitySync USA Springboard Module falls just a bit short of what I would have expected from them.
The module is small and fits inline nicely with a Visor and I wasn't able to tell much loss in battery life. Content is easily and quickly accessed and found. More importantly most all the lonely planet book(s) content is duplicated in the card. So the four cities are pleasantly at hand. A 5th city is yours to download when you register, though it resides in your handheld and not the card.
Though, I'm not sure if I can find a review of a map location. Say if one were to click on a point of interest on a map, you can't readily pull up its review. Which brings my second point, the interface is quite unattractive and cluttered.
But if you are a lonley planet addict as I am, its definatly worth having...though you'll still need Vindigo installed for street navigation.
