Igo is great but it chooses when it wants to speak. It randomly disables TTS which pisses the hell out of me. Today for example, it will not speak even after multiple resets so I got pissed and drove without it. When I arrived and turned on my phone it says "make the next left then you will arrive at your destination". POS program

Any other program that supports TTS?

PM me, that stopped me from buying it for the longest time also........

Google Search FTW!! This means that you don't really have to worry about having the most up to date data file for finding that new restaurant

Garmin XT also allows you to locate the cheapest gas prices close to you (by grade, which most apps don't do).

Also tells you traffic info, overall a very complete product except for TTS (which is hard to come by on the PPC).

Re: Garmin XT

Question for my fellow Garmin users out there, do you notice a PITA lag when your Touch Pro is navigating? Meaning it tells you to turn too late??

I just bought Garmin XT off Ebay. The $30 data plan with Sprint that includes navigation is not worth it for me.

It is arriving on a 2 GB microSD card. Is it possible to copy the app to my 8 GB microSD card?

I'm guessing I'm getting an illegal copy so the answer is no? Any way to work around it?
