Which navigation software is best?

[Miep Miep Zoeffff]

Which navigation software is best for our MDA VARIO II ?
Tom Tom
Route 66?

Which versions ?

Can I download them somewhere ==> one that works...

I need an BENELUX version or even better: Europe

tomtom is the best - this site does not condone piracy / warez
so buy it. - it's worth it.

If you want to go the free route:

Smart2Go (routeplanning, location aware, allows for offline work, but does not provide instructions)
Google Maps (similar to Smart2Go regarding functionality, but no offline option)
Nav4all (provides spoken instructions, no offline option)

Similar projects worth checking out are AmazeGPS (beta for wm had been released, haven't tried it yet) and navigami.

Does Igo8 run smooth?
I used the old igo before but it stutters....when I get a phone call, the whole phone locks up.

With TomTom, I can still get phone calls no problem.

I used odessey 4.0, it was good! Maps maybe outdated a bit, but it worked fine where I am.

Tom Tom 6 works fine
Garmin Mobile XT works, but I only can install the Benelux :mad:

I love Garmin, so: does anyone has a suggestion how I can get all Europe on it?

the one and only answer to the question for the best navigation software:
it's iGo 2008, with 3d navigation, super detailed buildings and an amazingly fast screen.

Maps are dated April 2008...

I tried IGO 2008.

Contrary to what other are saying...IGO 2008 is really not suitable for Hermes if you're planning to use the phone features of your phone.

IGO 2008, although runs properly by itself in hermes, if you get a call or whatever while running GPS, your device slows to a crawl. The software uses too much ram imo.

I prefer TomTom because it has a small footprint and does the job right without harming other features of the phone.

I do like the IGO 2008 graphics alot, it is by far the best. But not worth the trouble if you want to get calls or make calls while gps is running.

I am thinking about getting the Qstarz BT-Q1300 (http://www.buygpsnow.com/Qstarz-BT-Q1300-Super-Slim-Nano-Keychain-Bluetooth-GPS-Data-Logger-Travel-Recorder.aspx).

Anyone have experience with Google Navigator 4.0 (http://www.pdafun.net/index.htm) with 3D street view on windows mobile?
