Here is another one that looks as though it will be promising software. However, I'm still awaiting my Beta download to test. Hope it's out soon.

Yeah, Mobium is a little expensive, however, I think most all of them will use a Data connection, unless you pre-load tons of maps and even then some still need Data to update. I could be wrong though.


Here's another one.

TomTom, Garmin, iGO, Copilot (and a couple others) come with preloaded maps (usually on an SD card). You don't need a data connection unless you're using extra features (online services) or aGPS to decrease signal aquisition time.

As far as I know TomTom and Garmin XT don't have TTS for PPC. I think Copilot 6 had TTS but 7 no longer does?

I thought I've seen versions out there that do, but there official websites pretty much suck balls and have no info and no vids demonstrating it, so idk.

Well, if you find TomTom w/ TTS for ppc let me know! iGO8 is solid but there's a few things I just like in TomTom better.
