Just a potential warning to all who are interested in Co-Pilot, since I understand there is a demo on Leo. I BOUGHT Co-pilot, in an effort to get something with decent TTS, and it is a horror story for accuracy. Can't even get me to work or home without painfully messing up directions. That App itself is nicely done, as I am sure the demo indicates. Understand, this is NOT only a case of inaccurate maps (yes, I updated them, using the app's map updater) It actually showed tracks of me going down a differnt road than what I had used. VERY dissapointing.

I purchased Co-Pilot with US maps for my vacation in San Diego two weeks ago. I used it every day and was very satisfied. High accuracy. It only detoured me few times wanting me to take an exit on the freeway and then the entrance to the same freeway.

I use and like Copilot as well. I had it on my Android phones befor the google navigation was released and still preffer it to googles free alternative.

...It was the first software I purchased when I got my HD2...has always been pleasing to use and accurate...sorry to hear you had bad luck with it.

You guys should definitely try iGO 8. It's simply great! It has 3d view, TTS, plus the option to choose whether to use maps from NAVTEQ or TELE ATLAS, thus giving you plenty of choices. I'm pretty sure it should work just fine all over the US (near 100% map coverage from TA) :)

The us version of IGO8 is OnCourse Navigator 8. I used to have it. It was very good but required that you use their 8gb sd card and is $100. To me the 3d buildings was a bit of a gimmick. I can see where I am just fine on the maps without seeing the buildings.
