GPS Software sticky?

Fmstrat · 09-15-2004, 03:50 PM

Big request for a first poster, but I've been reading this forum a while as I design my carputer, and have thought of something that would have been very handy in this forum (GPS). Any possibility of putting together a sticky containing each GPS software with information like:

Manufacturer? Who
Title? Software Title
Platform? Windows / Linux / Palm / PocketPC
Touchscreen friendly? Yes/No and why (I.E. No, buttons are too small for 7" screen)
Features: 3D maps / voice activation / voice direction / routing / etc / etc
Screenshots for this Platform: (this section is KEY).

I'd be happy to do Street Atlas 2005 as I've just acquired it. This could help a lot of people out from purchasing the wrong software. Sure, you can find it out through an exhaustive search, but having it all in one place would be handy.

Nice one Enforcer!!

Sorry! The administrator has specified that users can only post one message every 60 seconds.

I must be turning into a post whore!!

Dance, thanks for the helpful feedback. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Curly, yes, the search does still work. My search resulted in about a million threads, and the post Dance pointed out wasn't on the first 5 or so pages.
I hadn't notices that stickies never got made. Is there a reason? Seems like it's a pretty useful feature to me (in moderation of course).

Dunno. Might clutter the forums too much having a million stickies. That or the moderators are too lazy. ( Frodo, I didn't say that )
