Reply With QuoteI would pick IGuidance V2.
I did a search but I couldn't find anyone comparing these two to each other.
I really like the looks of Destinator from the little flash preview they have of it, but I'm not going to place too much value on that. I have the Delorme POS software and the reciever, and I found a very helpful thread on here about how to use the USB piece from Delorme with thirdparty software....
but if you were to pick, which would you go with? Destinator or IGuidance? Any why? let me know if you have experience with only one of them or with both. Thanks!

I don't like destinator because:
1) It display wrong street number in NY map.
2) You need to switch US map between regions.

I like Iguidance but i havent tried Ninja Monkeys version of Destinator 3. It seems that they overcame the map switcheing (although i cannot verify this) but i can't tell you anything about how the actual street address acuracy is. I am keeping an eye out for copilot 8. I like Iguidance 2 becasue it loads up quick and is sufficiant and is integrated into frodoplayer

I have iGuidance 2.0 and love it. I've also tried Ninja Monkey's D3 front end and that's really good as well. Destinator maps don't show the street names in 3d view which to me is a big problem. It may not be for you. Regardless of which one you choose you'll be getting a great piece of software for GPS.
gps passions has reviews of both (and more) you can do the comparitive analysis your self.

to get around the map switching, you need to buy Destinator: Major Roads US.
That costs another $40-50. I haven't used it, but that's what the product description says.
In my opinion, iguidance is a great piece of software if you could only make it more touch screen friendly. A lot of those buttons are TINY! Still, for the price, it's damn good.
1) is this just a NY thing or have other people experienced this?Originally Posted by faichiu
2) being that I live in Texas....it is it's own region because it's so big....I don't travel much (if any) outside of Texas (especially since it takes 9 hours just to get halfway through the state), so the region thing isn't that big of a deal

thanks for the input!

That's the problem I have with the Delorme software, absolutely NOT touchscreen friendly.
It sounds like most people prefer iguidance....I'll keep my eyes on it!
