I'm guessing because i don't live in as large a metropolitan traffic conditions are not really accurate?

I-GO My Way would be my vote.

i was just about so say something about iGO. I've been using it for the last week and it's really awesome. Not only does it take less space than tomtom it has more advance POI searches and allows you to finger scroll in the maps.

I bricked my mini sd card two weeks ago so I havent been able to try most of these on my sprint 6700, but as strange as it may sound Telenav has been very stable and easy to use. Key factor is that its only a 714 kb file and downloads the maps as you use them (so I dont need a memory card.) Also allows you to imput favorites and trips in on the website(easier to use keyboard and mouse.)Only negative thing is that its a subscription service. well for most people....

I drive a lot for work, and for fun, and want something that I can export later showing a map with my route that I took that day... I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on software... reccomondations?

I just discovered this and it's like MLS+Tomtom plus all the greatness of being able to download maps based on your liking. The best part is it appears to be free. The only thing is and I'm still trying to figure this out, is the navigation part of it (using the GPS) is not free. But for sure all the maps are, which is incredible.

I'm about to test this out, its $9.99/month for North Americans wanting to use the navigation aspects, if you just want to use the maps its free. I have no problem paying $9.99/month if its better than TomTom 6, I miss vocal street names on my older nav software, TomTom only vocalizes "Turn Right ahead in 1 mile" it doesn't say "Turn right in 1 mile on Main Street"

has anyone tried TrackyPro??

[AFAngryWarrior]

Never even heard of it, is it a GPS program for road traveling or for hikers and bikers?

Google Navigator 2.4 is pretty damn cool. Still needs to mature but it has a lot of potential.

I agree, the option to save maps permanently is awesome. I wonder how google is looking at this though, because in a sense they're selling the ability to use google maps, right?
