Which GPS software for road(ride)runner?

**skywise** · 07-06-2009, 04:40 PM

My current mappting software is showing it's age (S&T '07) and I'd like to replace it while I rebuild my carputer (eeepc with 2G of RAM)
Which is best for road/ride runner?
iguidance 4 or Garmin mobile PC
I've found both for around the same price so that's not really an issue, so which works best for RR? (bring to front for turns, mute sound, pause video and all that)
I'm in Canada so that would be where it's used most, does either one have better maps of the great white north?

I have them both, prefer IG4. If you plan on using DFX, IG is fully integrated.

Exactly my setup so ig4 it is.

i finally went with sygic driver - tomtom alike clone, cpu resource efficient (igo is a killer beast), good routing, pois, radars, has on screen keyboard, no issues with embedding into rr (does not always stay on top), no issues with resume/standby (garmin has)

can you give me a run down on how to integrate the sygic in to ride runner please, thanks Andy

i've no managed to get sygic to launch from RR but it opens in a seperate window, how do i make it stay inside RR?
Thanks
Andy

I think you need to know the name (windows name) of the window the GPS software opens so that RR can know to resize and move it where needed.
Example is Iguidance (with the right caps) is needed for iguidance.
