jnuts, such is piracy. Why do some have no qualms upon blurting out the stupendously obvious? Ain't this to be a respectable community forum that desires to retain a moral high ground?

There are many decent freeware and paid apps (iGo, Tomtom, Garmin, CoPilot, etc) out there.

Personally I stick with Garmin with its topo and city navigator maps for on pavement and back county roads in North America while using Tomtom in Europe. Igo8 does offer wonderful customisations but it is slow to load up and requires a disproportionate amount of RAM to run. How much eye-candy does one require for simple route finding?

Except for quick look-ups with Google Maps or Bing, I shun the over-the-air mapping programs due to connectivity issues when travelling in and in between cities.
