GPS/SatNav recommendations -which one?

---

I got TomTom bundled with the Athena and Cruise, no such luck with the TP2. Any suggestions or recommendations about which package to go for for TP2, bearing in mind the wide screen etc.

All suggestions welcome

i have tried 3 sat navs over the years. obvious one is tomtom, i use copilot 7 and have no probs. i have read and heard great reports of mcguider? might want to check the spelling. very popular is garmin xt but word of warning.... youll have to hot swap your sd card and that is no fun. workarounds available but not worth messing around with it.

i went for copilot live 7 because i found a cheap one on ebay and no need to hot swap. its very clear and works with most devices.

I think that should be a good short list. no doubt others will champion other brands.

I use TomTom, have no problems with it at all, works 100%

Presumably using VGA version rather than QVGA?

Yes indeed, but it's the 480 X 800 screen that might present an issue

I use tomtom7, but for some reason on my kaiser and rhodium it runs SO SLOWLY.

I only get about 0.75 frames per second update time, which frankly is terrible compared to the 3-5fps that you would see on a standalone tomtom unit.

I use 7.915, the latest version which runs flawlessly.

As mentioned ... I have CPL6 and it works fine on the TP2 taking up the whole of the WVGA screen except the initial splash and performs well.

Paul.

igo8 (latest version) works on mine just fine. Same version I was using on the HD

iGo 8

I cant get iGo 8 to work to save my life!, I've installed and re-installed countless times now and Iget the same issue, it installs fine but wont start the application, even to give me the license agreement page.

it just bombs out and it's really cramping my phone at the moment... any ideas?
