Hi

I do have Map&Guide8 / Travelbook 3.5.

It´s just perfect. It even has speech-nagvigation. With several plug-ins you can even see the fixed radar-traps or gas stations or McDonals/Burgerking on your map. The buttons are big enough for touchscreen-usage.
I think it´s the best that we can get for europe.
But the price is, because of the great amount of features, very high...

If you really want a good navigation software in your car you should get Travelbook. I think the only problem is your screen, cause even my 6,4" screen is pretty small for this software.

Hope I could help

Hi ,
Thanks for replying.

Like I didn't see any screenshots of(Travelbook)yet I couldn't see if my screen would be big enough.
I only know Map and guide 7 which is not able to work with travelbook.

Could you tell me if it has the following features -
- If it points the direction | Ob es via Pfeil die zu fahrende Richtung anzeigt
- If it shows your car's status on a map?
- Other grat extra functions except of map & guide plugins

On your page I also saw that you are using win2k - My carputer runs on Winxp and its just fine - No crash quicker boot than win2k etc etc . :-)

But you should check your homepage most links to pictures etc did not work .

Regards

Felix

Yes it does.

I can´t look at it right now, I´m not sure, but I think it shows at least the speed and the direction in degrees.
