This seems like a simple wish - all I want is to purchase GP software for my Verizon TP2, with US maps, install it on the new 16gb microSDHC card I purchased, and get on with my life. Not so fast...
CoPilot Live 8 - reasonably priced, can download and install where I want, but apparently the Activation process is extremely fragile - the least change to your device and it has to be reactivated. Reports indicate that many have abandoned it because of this.
GarminXT - requires the purchase and use of
their SD card.
OnCourseNavigator (the US 'brand' of IGO8 apparently) - also requies the purchase and use of
their SD card.
TomTom Navigator 7 - when I go to their site, no US maps are listed for WM (they do have for the iPhone).
When I've raised these issues, I've been referrred to a particular website of ill repute, and I've been searching and posting there. Basically, there are ways to download virtually any of these applications without having to purchase a license, and the process appears fairly complex, with multiple map file downloads, instructions to modify files that I find less than straightforward, with use of a lot of inside jargon and acronyms. Frankly, I don't have the time or desire to mess with all of that, and I really prefer to simply pay for a legitimate license.
This really shouldn't be that difficult!!
Is there something, some other application, that I'm missing???
