Why should CF be any different - I'll tell you why, so we have to buy maps from Flux, so they get some commission too And Destinator gets to make money twice for same product.

Fcuk, this is like TOMTOM using different maps on PDA's and All-in-one units, more complication, more expense for the end user... And more MONEY for the software houses!

What features have they added to CF's maps which aren't on the others - I'd be willing to guess not many if any



Making this software so expensive will not help its sales in a market where most other software is opensource or freeware.
All RR needs to be on a par with CF is database driven music and a skinned built in setup/options system to be added, and eventually all that will come along!

Looks like Flux might have lost a future customer


When will someone make a GPS program which runs on raw Navteq maps!
I mean you even have Google Earth now with free map data & GPS

So you didn't get a shag last night then?
