looking for good GPS software to buy!

[mofoliar]

i have been wondering about which software is better for Nav. and real GPS locations. ROute 66 (which by the site, they say Dash is not compadible) or CoPilot? is it worth buying the receiver they offer, or any others in particular? thanks!

The 2 free apps, Google mobile and Windows Live Search, both work well. Google is bit harder to make work because you need to mess with the registry to make the port available. But either one does a good job. WHat you wont get with these freebies is turn by turn spoken directions.

I use Live Search on my Dash with a Globalsat BT GPS receiver. Works great.

ok, cool.. thanks for the info.. what is the difference between the google maps just using your phone wi-fi and have a gps reciever? do you just get real time of a location?

what about using maps? i have route66 u.s.a maps but no software though! is there a way to load just the maps and use it with Live or Google?
