I took nearest exit and got stuck in the traffic (school busses). The good news is that I had google maps as a backup and I disabled iGo8 I used some backroads with google maps help to get to destination. I can not wait until google maps releases the full version GPS software with TTS. From now on I won't rely on iGo8 for any important driving. I am not trying to discourage anyone from using iGo8, but having a backup navigation app/printed directions is a good thing.
Usually I find that Garmin Mobile XT gives better routing compared with iGO, although Garmin Mobile XT does not have TTS yet. Anyone tried Sprint Navigation? Not sure if that's good. I doubt Google will release a navigation product for Windows Mobile since Android and WIndows Mobile are competitors.
