I have to agree with gizmomkr on CoPilot. - I just got it two weeks ago. I have some problems with CoPilot taking you on the shortest route but not always the fastest route. The Best Solution I have found was to hit the Detour Button (Really Should be renamed to "Alt Route") and wait five minutes and then Cancel Detour. Overall I let it guide me on a little 150 Mile Roundtrip and it did indeed get me to the end location. I have a few things I would like to see modified/tweaked but I would agree it is the best software I have tested so far. This is as close to an OEM version that I have found.

Here are a few things that I have found...
+Auto-magical re-routing when you get off corse works like a champ (After the first 500 Meters of it telling you to turn it around)
-Missing Road (No way to get Updates until the next relase comes out)
-I believe that routes are on the shortest route and not taking into account for fastest roads.
-Took me thru a Gravel Road to get me to a destination (When Paved Roads were avialable)
-Lookup of addresses/city could be improved.

iGuidance - I've seen iGuidance in your sig and I haven't taken the time to look it over. So this morning I downloaded it and right off the bat a hard coded Mapping to C:\Prog Files\iGuide (Sorry at work and don't remember off hand) isn't so cool. Will play with it this weekend.
