Thanks, I was planning to add this today and will.

I'd love to see a tomtom vs. igo/on course navigator vs garmin compario like this.

One other thing to add to the list is the storage card... and the fact that to legally use Garmin means you are restricted to their card. There are ways around this but it's not legal.
I may give IGuidance a try, but after that I think I'm going to be done trying various navigation apps myself. If someone knows about Tomtom and Igo enough to answer for all points, I could add it to the list. I know there are even other navigation apps in addition to all those. That's the great thing about these WM devices, so many options .

I'll add an item about the storage card. I know IGuidance sells theirs with various sized storage cards, to try and overcome that issue. (Nobody who knows ways around the stroage card issue via hacks should mention it here, because the mods might ban you if you do.)
