I like routis because it is very very simple, looks great on a small screen.
routing works very very well, and wrong turns are automatically compensated for.
I have been in only one town where every route was bass ackwards, nothing was where it said it was, etc. one town (ventura, CA) that was 100% defunct.
And as defunct as that town was, every other town (including podunk and other supersmall towns) has been the opposite. just perfect.
I like the features of streetatlas much more. points of interest give me like an entire phonebook's worth of information. the options are staggering.
Unfortunately, its a bit difficult to see on a 7" screen.
Routing is pretty good, but not as good as routis.
wrong turns are less well compensated for.
All in all, I like running both because I can get in depth information about POI's form streetatlas if need be, but for actual GPS usage, I use routis.
they are the only programs I have used, other guys can tell you about their experiences with other programs.
and yes, the earthmate works great with routis. you jsut have to work a little harder during install to make it work. after that, you can plug itin and unplug it, hot or cold, all day long, and itll fire right on, every time.
