been using copilot live and couple of observations:1 it will navigate you to the street but not number, got me lost a couple of times with this. #2 There are alot of incorrect voice prompts telling you to turn or bear right when it is actually straight, got me confused a couple of times. #3 They say TTS is available, however, it is only in europe. Can't beat the price though. Calls POI flawlessly, sexy interface, a bit slow, (not laggy), I am thinking of asking for refund to try IGO. Just my 2 cents

I like TT7 the best. I could not find any GPS program that has smooth scroll like TT7. The rest of the GPS software have jerky cursor.

Garmin XT has the most map. Some of them are open source. The thing I dont like about Garmin is that you cannot plan a route if you are not in a CITY! Say you are physically in LAX, but you just want to check out a route from ATL to NYC, but you cant do it! Isnt that stupid ???

Since TT7 does not work on the TP2, I will wait for this device. My TT7 works great on my Treo Pro.

Dont forget you cant zoom in and out anymore on your TP2 because there are no more physical d-pad.

Help, do I "buy" iGO8 and "THEN" follow which instructions - OR - is there a better way to get iGO8 "US" version. I too have a 16GB card and what do I do next?

I purchased Copilot 8 and have been happy as a clam with it. I've used TT7 and it was really laggy. One problem I've noticed is Copilot runs really smooth in portrait mode, but in landscape it is choppy like TT7 was. I like portrait better, but it's my gripe with the program. The interface is slick and the routing seems decent as well. Great program for $35.

Has anyone else tried amAze? I've been using it with success and it's free.

I also liked iGo when I used it on my TP. But I have'n made an effort to use it on my TP2. I like Telenav and all the sub features it has. Gas prices, traffic, voice promts... etc. Not to mention Sprint did make it very convenient by pacing a tab ther for me. I only speak from my personal experiences... I haven't tried any other GPS software. My friend runs tomtom and Garmin and bounces between the two. I think you'd be hard pressed to find one that satisfies everyone. I love the choices thoug.

I use iGuidance. I've been using it since my Axim days with iGuidance 2. It works well, has TTS and the maps seem as close to up to date as I've seen. It may not be flashy, but it gets the job done.
