best GPS software
I am looking for a GPS software that actually tells you where you are (using a GPS antenna) and directions to a destination from where you are. Also it needs to tell the directions (for example: it will say "go left at main st." or something like that) also it must be a reasonable price. How is iNav compared to iGuidance and the others out there.

iGuidance is made by iNav  And iGuidance does that for you. Wait for v2.1.
Map Monkey does this too. |

What doesn't do this for you?
I would check out the GPS forum. There is a lot of information on this topic there.

How much will v2.1 be? I'm looking for a gps software. It will be my first one, so i want something that is easy to use and semi cheap. Nothing over ~$100.
What do ya'll suggest?

I totally agree with ol33l about the Delorme package with Street Atlas 2004+
Definately designed for a large screen laptop, not 7 inch.
I repeat, run away from the Delorme. I have one and need to find other software to use with it. Anyone has some that I can 'try' please let me know
