Okay This is the battle of the best GPS's software packages, no hardware just the best and easiest system to use in a CarPC environment.

Let's stay off receiver and crap, I just wanna know who has used Co-Pilot8 and iGuidance and which one you liked better!!
I love iGuidance, but I have to admit sometimes it gets on my nerves, I live in NYC and it won't find simple addresses sometimes.
I've seen screenshots of CP8 and it looks pretty cool, I understand that it's hard to embedd in frontends but I was planning it for dual display anyway, with the GPS solely in the front display.
I don't know much about Destinator, Routis, or MapMonkey, I don't know anyone that has it. For sure, MS S&T and DeLorme are crappy software to use in a car; so I don't even wanna talk about it.

LEt's hear it !!!

At the last carputer meet in minnesota, I saw a person who had mapmonkey (which is just a front for destinator) and a guy who has routis (which is just an older version of iguidance). They aren't completley unheard of, but they arent the best of the best either.

Yeah, that's why I believe we should concentrate on two softwares; that way our community can really help develop and improve them.
Like you have done with iGuidance!!
I like the menus and some stuff I see on CP8, but from what I've heard from this guy he has mixed results, but in Canada

I'd really like some info on someone who has used the webtrackin tool with CP8 and how the map stacks up to iG
