I'm not sure if I know exactly what you are asking for.
You can use mappoint (costs alot though)

Here's a sample app for smartphone -- but I quickly adapted it to work on
PocketPc

This one http://www.codeproject.com/cs/webservices/MapPointSmartphone2.asp
actually does the route, so it's closer to what you were looking for.

I'm sure there are others, I think google has virtual earth or something
like that.

I'm searching an GPS apps that can be used in CF.NET
to get data from sqlce db and the trace a route from
point to point read from this db.
So I search a programmable apps that expose some API.
Some ideas?

Tom tom can be used?

I haven't used TomTom myself, but one of my clients has a project
programmed in vb.net + TomTom for Pocket PC, so yes TomTom can be used.
You need to look yourself for the code though :-(

Unfortunately MS Pocket Streets & Trips has no API.

I haven't used TomTom, but I have browsed their documentation and here is a
link to the SDK documentation

If you want a more in depth look into TomTom:

Look at GpsTools. I'm not sure if it will do everything you need, but it
offers a lot. I use it for one of my applications. There is a forum there
as well that you can ask questions directly to one of the main developers
and they are pretty responsive for support.
