Can anyone tell me of a good GPS software. I have looked at Back Country Navigator, but I don't think it's quite what I want.

I'm looking for some thing that can not only tell my location on a map, but also my coordinates, and elevation, and speed traveled. I would also like to be able to mark points on a map, say on my home computer and upload them to the phone and also do the reverse. Mark points that I'm at on the phone and later upload it to my computer.

So are 99% of the people here (or at least in NA).

TT7 is great in my opinion

The US version of iGo is called OnCourse Navigator. Unfortunately only "modded" versions will work on the Diamond, since it doesn't have a flash card (and the software is only commercially available on a microSD card).

I'm not into modding software. Anyone try GPS 2 Google Earth? I'm downloading it now.

I have used the BackCountry Navigator on my PPC 6700 with an external antenna; it works even better on the Diamond. I use it mostly for Geocaching though. It works pretty good for that, and you can install a version on your PC and move the map files back and forth.
