Why are you planning to buy iGuidance if you already have Routis? From what I've gathered, the only difference is the front end, and even those look extremely alike.

um ... well cause my copy of routis is kinda *borrowed* from someone ... and this software is so good and i'll use it so much i really to need to buy it.

and why i'd still choose iGuidance ... i dunno ... maybe i won't ... we'll see.

how is the Delorme earthmate and SA2004? For about $115 shipped you can get them off ebay. Im considering getting it. Would love to hear the good and the bad.

I saw an add in the Sunday paper for either Circuit City or Best Buy had the Delorme Earthmate for $99. I never really used mine with Street Atlas but the receiver works fine with Destinator witht the USB to Serial drivers. I had issues with the USB drivers not coming out of hibernation so I bought a serial cable for mine from Delorme. Works great in my setup with Destinator.

I just purchases Copilot 2003 (software and USB receiver) from a member on this board and I am real happy with it. The big buttons make all the difference..works quite well with a touchscreen.

Dang... i just purchased copilot last night.

I have a screen which only supports 640x480 and i hastily figured i'd get around this somehow.

iguidance looks good but it doesn't seem to support all the features that copilot does such as recalculating a route for you if you get off track, and two way voice (so you can talk to the software).
