iGuidance v4 - Free Upgrade

[hotrod]

I ordered my copy and got it last week. So far, I can say I'm really disappointed. The user interface is still the same, the maps still look the same, now it just announces a few more roads than it did in v.3. I'm using TomTom 6 and I like it much better.

Things I like about TomTom
1. Better integration w/ OS. That is, TomTom handles sending and receiving phone calls. TomTom will automatically minimize ans restore during and after phone calls. And all the menus can be accessed with a finger. Some of Inav's menus are hard to poke at.

2. Map details. Inav's data is generally more accurate, but I like TomTom's map colors of roads, parks, property boundaries, water, etc. Also TomTom's roadways have more detail and a 3D appearance when viewing roads with bridges and over-passes. And I like TomTom's centerline dots. I easily shows you are moving down the highway, where I can't tell if the map is moving or if it is froze up with Inav's single red highway line.

3. I like that I can hit a button to hear the next instruction repeated.

Things I'd also like to see in INav;
PPC Keyboard support for hotkeys; I'd love to be able to press C to change color or F for full sceen or G for gps; etc.

The only things I like better about Inav than TomTom...and others
1. Best use of small square screens. I like Inav's small status bars. TomTom's status bars take a lot of precious space on a 240x240 screen.
2. I do like Inav's announcement of turns AND road names.
3. I like being able to cycle through the different screens; map, gps, route, etc. with a quick push of a button.
