Re: Best GPS Software?

lol, I know how nice TOMTOM is, I borrowed my buddies tomtom unit when I drove down to Tennessee from MA about a month ago. I had his tomtom stacked next to my pda running garmin, there are pro's and con's to each.

As far as POIs i know that tomtom you can upload custom ones and stuff, but when you dont have access to uploading the new ones, if I am out in arkansas looking for a particular place, i like to know I am getting the most up to date information without first having to check and see if I have the latest poi file.

I do agree that garmin's bridges and overpass look like 8s hahaha, first time driving with it i was like O.o but i got used to it cuz I would make sure to look ahead and not rely totally on the gps display.

I still want to see someone who is totally relyant on their GPS follow the instructions to the T....and end up taking a 'legal uturn' into a building, followed by the gps saying "you have arrived"

ugh, i wish there was one GPS program that had all the perks and none of the cons of all the different software available.

I miss my old IGo 2006 and its ANCIENT maps... but at the time I never had a single issue with it...just cant find newer maps for it hehe.

For now at least, Im gonna use my garmin but at least i have access to my buddies tomtom. Garmin needs to tweak a few things then it will be ready to really rock!!!!
