What GPS software to use for Europe?

You can also use Copilot live with the european expansion pack.

I ahve copliot on my PDA (does that count as a carputer??) and am quite happy with it (although I have no comparison to other products)

Just thought I'd mention there is iGuidance Europe 2.1.2. It ships with maps of western europe. Not the most T/S friendly out of the box but there are some add on programs for it such as iGMon, which really answer most shortcomings.

Can't beat digging out a good old thread and having a long sniff...

iGuidance Europe 2.1.2 is not available/supported anymore. or at least no future updates planned. what are the alternatives? ts friendly, good poi database etc.

...also it can't manage POI customing

Im in the same boat really, followed this and other threads trying to find a decent gps solution to driving in the uk. I want something that doesnt look homemade, Ive seen so many differnet gps solutions (ie BMW / Panasonic installs) and they look so much more polished than the current pc options.

One option not covered here so far has been Navigon Mobilnavigator (http://www.navigon.com/site/uk/en) but I would also like the satnav software to have a speed camera database on it (not too much to ask as for less than £200 in halfords you can get something that would meet these requirements!)

Anyone know of any other software not listed yet?

...probably I've found it!
I'm converting myself to GaroNav...
here is the forum link:

and here is the site link where you can download the software:
http://www.riccardogarofano.com/

it is base on D3 as MM but has a better interface, touchscreen friendly, better address entering and there is also english language...

Garo, I'm advertising your product... I think I'm going to be paid for...

I noticed this after i posted my previous, only thing is its back to the damn destinator maps, but definatly the best looking of the destinator products. Does it require the stuipid SDK? Or just the destinator maps?

.."the stupid SDK"... but I've read that Garo is workin' on... ...and I decided to trust on him

"stuipid sdk" sorry for the quote, but its just the most difficult bit of software ive ever looked to buy! Its almost easier to get as a pirate copy than a legal one!
