Anyone using iGO 8

So I've tried Tomtom, Garmin and now I'm trying iGO 8.

Tomtom works quite well and I haven't found much problem with it. It's nice and simple and easy to use.

Garmin looks nicer than Tomtom, but I find getting satellite locks take longer than with Tomtom. There are bugs like it changing the time/date when you use it which I don't particularly like. I don't use it much for this reason.

I'm trying iGO 8 pretty nice. It takes a bit longer to load, and connecting the gps takes a funky method to do but works, and when gps is connected, and it's searching for satellites, it seems to get more locks than both Tomtom and Garmin for some strange reason. The maps seems to be off a litter, either that or the accuracy isnt that good but it's probably not that far off from Tomtom and Garmin. Only bug so far I found is that using it changes the timezone but there seems to be a temporary fix by the developers until they get an update out. I havent tried the fix because I've just noticed something else which will lead me to go back to Tomtom.

Seeing if those of you who've tried this program have problems receiving incoming calls as well. I had this problem with ghetto's rom, where I couldnt get incoming calls when I have gps activated using any gps software. I thought it may be the same problem here as well, so I checked tomtom and garmin and both can receive incoming calls while I'm using them and locked to satellites. Igo doesn't seem to allow incoming calls, it doesnt notify you of miss calls or even voicemails. I've tested it out.

I'd like to see if others who've used iGO 8 have also experienced this. I'm trying to rule out the rom like before. Thanks.
