Quick question: with Iguidance can you just "rip" the map files off the cd/dvd and put them on your harddrive if you want to have a free cd slot?

If you guys had stickied this or put it in the faq, you might not get as many questions. it certainly helped me, but I had to go through 5 pages to find it.

It IS in the FAQ. Check the "Attention Newbies! A FAQ to the FAQ's" in the FAQ Emporium.
BTW - good job searching and finding it!

Garmin sells a GPS working @ 5hz, so five updates in position per second. Seems it uses a special transfert protocol.
Problem is : I don't know if current softwares can handle it (refresh rate & protocol), and GPSgate & xport may not work with it.

another solution for ppc
I had an Dell Axim X5 and bought the gps solution from pocketmap.com. the reason i bought it is becuase i heard good reviews (saying it was comparable to more expensive solutions like magellan and tom tom) and it was only around $140 for the kit which includes a good CF receiver and antenna extension and software (albeit a little old) of the entire US. I'd recommend it if you're looking to save some money for a pretty good gps solution for your handheld.

For whatever reason ive seen a whole lot of GPS units on ebay bundled with Microsoft's Streets and Trips
I strongly suggest NOT using this for everyday navigation issues. Like stated in the write up its great for planning trips but for in car navigation i had a LOT of trouble. Its akward to use and does not give nice GPS information let alone useful on the go directions.
Also it had a lot of trouble finding my GPS unit. I had to use a third party driver and it would still fail somtimes anyway. (maybe its just the holux unit i have...im still looking for better software tho)
Just thought id put my 2 cents in...

Street Atlas Delorme
I have Street Atlas The thing that stinks about it is you can only add 200 addresses to your address book. I drive a truck and need more. I know I can buy street atlas plus but have already spent 89 bucks on the first one.

I plan my route inside with streets and trips on my laptop, then carry it to the car and put it in it's custom holder (like the police use, I can't think of the word! lol) and plus in the usb 353 and it works great for getting me where ever I need to go. I plan the route and when I get in the car I don't even need to touch it  ....but I realize this doesn't work in everyones situation |

S&t 2006
Hey, I just picked up S&T 2006, it now does turn-by-turn voice directions, and, you can put it into 'Night Mode' where it's green-on-black... (I attached a pic of it to better illustrate this)
I've yet to try 'Direction Guidance' (OSD / Voice directions).... Since I just got/installed it.... haven't even had it in the car yet |

I have Streets and Trips 2006 and I must say it is great. turn by turn directions, 4 different map views (including night view) and the POI directory and search feature is by far the best!

S&t 06
I have a Xenarc 7" LCD and I run the video card at 640x480. I run it with a form factor PC mounted in the trunk with the LCD mounted in the dash. It works very well. For software I currently use iGuidance, but I have several issues with it.
Would anyone think that S&T 2006 is a suitable replacement for iGuidance? can it be highly customized to be run entirely from a low resolution touchscreen? The GUI would need total replacement to accomodate big buttons.
