What GPS do you have on your diamond? - Page 3

I have TomTom 7 and Garmin XT. Garmin is prettier and has better maps, but TomTom is faster in every way. I used Sprint Nav on my Mogul, and it was nice, but not worth $9.99/month.

I finally got TomTom 7 on the Diamond. The map could be a little prettier and if the street names were announced, it would be perfect

iGO8 is the best of the three. Nicer graphics and you get text to speech with it.

I definetly agree! I have used Garmin, Telenav, Tom Tom, and iGuidance. Non even come close to iGO 8 in my opinion. With the best graphics, TTS, great routing, totally skinable, and a ton of customizable options, you can't go wrong with this baby! I also attached a screen shot if people are not familiar with it.......

Which version of IGO are you using that has TTS? I have 8.0.0.5400 and it does not say the street names.

I have used various versions of the program. The most latest is OnCourse Navigator, which is the actual US released version of the program. You have to make sure you have the correct files for TTS or it will not work.

I'd like to know too.

I have iGuidance which does have street names (i.e. TTS) and Navteq maps.

I'd only consider packages that include TTS because I'm more interested in verbal directions than looking at a tiny screen while I'm driving.

Someone named eduardmc once mentioned an app that says the street names as well. If an app says the street names, I'm sold.

Sprint Nav does.
