Agreed. I originally purchased CPL8 as soon as I received my TP2 from Verizon (the first day they were available). They were indicating TTS and Voice Control would soon be available back then. Also, (as you indicated) the maps and lag issues drove me back to iGo8 even when that program didn't support my screen resolution. Nor did I have TTS working at that time. Now that iGo8 works with the native resolution of the TP2 and TTS if fully functional, there is no way I would go back to CP. The new sale price would seem to indicate that many agree with me. Apparently, the publishers of CoPilot have to offer an incentive for people to buy their product. For $20, it may be a cheap introduction to true GPS Navigation software, but you will soon want a better solution.

Just my $0.02 YMMV
