the software is smart enough to warn you about fast coming turns.. on tomtom I get signals like turn right, 1 sec turn left.
on mapopolis it will say "turn right onto pali st then prepare to turn left on to south king".
also I have it set up to speak on key press the statistics of my ride. "you are travelling south on H-1 going 65 miles per hour. your next turn is in 4 minutes, the current time is 12:19pm and your elevation is 800 feet etc.
also with tomtom you need to know the city of what you are looking for. to me that's a no go for a traveller new in town. mapopolis is just the name of the place. also when you key in street addresses it narrows down based on number. awesome program!!! not as pretty as tomtom but 300% more functional in my opinion.
also shows you speed limits in various areas and can chime you for speeding lol.

problem being, they aren't going to sell maps much longer. and i don't have a motorcycle mount for my 6700
