Re: Best GPS Software for TP2

As already mentioned by aznmode and jmorton10, Co-Pilot 8 may have a very good interface with lots of useful information, but it ultimately fails due to old maps and lack of TTS. If they ever fix those issues and add the advertised voice recognition capability, then they might have a winner.

I have tried Co-Pilot Live 8, iGo8, iGuidance, and Tomtom7. I like iGo8, but I am having dificulty with the settings not being remembered from previous sessions (illumination and region settings specifically). I like the simple menus and contact integration capability of iGuidance (if only there were a WVGA skin). I recall liking TT7 when I had it installed in an in-dash multimedia automobile system, but I haven't tried it with the TP2 yet....

I guess I will stay with iGo8 for now, unless someone builds a skin for iGuidance (hint hint).
