    I know that this has been touched on in some of the other threads, but I thought that I should start this one up on it own section,as there are a few of us with GPS Lap'ys now,and only god know how long it could go for. lol

    What GPS software are we all using for our CF-28 and other models?, pro's & con's and all that fun stuff in between. :D I have some time before my card gets here so I have some time to get the software too......

    At the moment I'm looking at the CoPilot lite 5 one, anyone else using that one too, or know of a better one?

    I have used and tested the following with the cf-28 -

    Copilot
    Infomap
    Navigator 6
    Memorymap
    Fugawi UK
    PrymeNav
    Microsoft MapPoint 2006
    Microsoft Autoroute 2007

    Also i have tested the following using a emulator -
    Route 66
    Tomtom all versions
    Navigon
    Magellan
    iGO 2006
    Destinator limited edition(personal hack)
    Via GPS
    Garmin (not tested yet)
    Navman (not tested yet)

    My fav is PC Navigator as there is alot of hacks you can do with the software,
    also just today i got full WORLD maps for it....:smile:

    DAM!!!!! Thats a few suites lol :notworthy: :biggrin:
    So PC Navigator you say hey, Time to hit google back up again :)

    The only resson I'm looking at CoPilot is that it the only one have been able to get my mits on so far, and thats with Europe maps ( not that I'll be going there soon lol). So I would still need to find the Aussie maps for it.....


    edit.................................
    ok, just did a google for PC Navigator 6 and only come up with TomTom Navigator over 100 times, thats not the one you mean is it?
    Do you have a link to the one you like to use??

    straight too the point from work,
    the maps i use are for navigator 7 but i run them on navigator 6,
    main reason i find navigator 6 more stable and better specialy now with maps from ver 7........
