I have used iGo8 and its an awesome program really nice UI and everything, its just the mogul doesnt have enough memory.
I have heard that iGo2006 runs well on the mogul but I dont think that it has the text to speech. Havent tried that or GarminXT yet but I heard both were good.

You should check if you can update it (googlemaps) or get the newest version because mine does. Also there are a lot of options. Garmin/TomTom there's a bunch of them.

Im using Google maps v2.0.1.31 and there might even be a newer version.

*edit sorry not all have street names.

I have TomTom7, Garmin XT and IGO8 loaded on my 8gig card and they all run fine -- I do find TT is the most accurate in the U.S. and has turn by turn.

The trick to running IGO8 is to NOT load all 50 states at once, but rather pick an choose only the states you will be travelling. The POI load is what bogs down the Mogul - limit it to what you need and all runs very well.

I would recommend getting Tom Tom if you live in the states - if you want Free.... get a map.

Does TT7 have text to speech that announces streets, so it says, "In 500 feet, turn right on Main St."?

You are correct - it just announces the upcoming turn but not the street name, while displaying the street to turn on.
