I know...I was only kidding

Yes, it is all Hype. I remember hearing lots of things about routis, and when I finally try it I must say I was not impressed. Have to say tho, map point definatly could do with some improvements to make it a hell of alot beter, so could routis.

I still got more than you

What else do you have that he doesn't?

I was curious about that....there could have been some that i forgot

I think poeple here report too soon without even evaluating the software properly...its that excitement in seeing something pretty. Some dont even have anything to compare it with and so call it the best software they ever used.

At first look the routis did looked good, I cant even test it as I dont live in US so I got no say.

Thats why I always believe in try before you buy policy in a software. I have bought many in the past and alot gave me dissapointments.

I don't think I have even heard of anything else for laptops that you don't have/that doesn't suck.

You really wanna know?

not to boast but I do have almost all of them. Just like to collect them for some reason

and then ask a mate to test it out for me. The latest one I tested just now is Route 66 Navigate 2004 on PDA...its ok but not impressive.

I got some other crappy ones not even worth mentioning...some I dont even remember that I had it

The older versions are most likely gone. Some paid some not, I cant possibe afford to buy them all just to play with it for a day or 2.

And please dont ask me to send you a copy because I wont. I already have done that in the past with some members in here, free CDs, freepost and non was appreciated...I was only trying to help save peoples money, let them see if the software is worthy or not.

But if you want them youll find them somewhere if you look hard enough

Dont ask me.

O you listed all of the other crap software. You did have more than me although i decided to go with the ones that were tried and true (even though they lack in areas).

You have aquired the title "Big MasterPimp GPS Man"

**Ricky327** · 07-29-2004, 08:10 PM

They cant be that crap, most are supposed to be "THE SOFTWARE" to buy. The thing is most do have the good points and the bad points...no one has put a perfect SW together yet.

To be honest I still find TomTom the best out of all of them and thats only for PDA. I hope they release one for PC with pretty graphics on it. Some do have impressive 3D graphics but bad voice, some are bad with reroute. I hope oneday someone wll come up with all the good bits from each one and put them altogether.

I Know...I get a buzzed when I try a new GPS SW
