    I'm going to start taking advantage of the GPS device in my Viliv S5.

    So I have to find some GPS software, I've heard of different ones, like Garmin Mobile PC for example.

    What ones you people using?

    I use that on my Cell phone and love it.

    The viliv s5 is a umpc btw, not a smartphone.

    I'm going to get garmin mobile pc, it looked good from what i've seen.
    Though I think it would be a good idea for GPS software to have a demo so you can try it before you buy it, to make sure you like it.
