Thanks for the update, Neil. Clearly, you'll have fans and support from the Mac community when you make it car-friendly.

My two cents from that point of view are auto-routing, which sounds like it will be in next version, along with reroute when you get off track.

If I can give you any advice from our side, it is to allow car PC'ers to customize the experience. Applescriptability and display options including skinning and layout are the types of things I'm thinking of. The ability to layer data on the map like traffic info is also a good thing.

Understanding that you gotta develop where the money is and we're just a small piece of that pie, realize too that with the Parallels capability of the Intel Macs, you ARE still competing with Windows alternatives, so even though a native solution is better, there's still a comparison that gets made.

Good luck to you on RouteBuddy!
