I haven't tried it yet, but I emailed them back in December because I had heard that they were going to release a version with US maps. They said it would be ouyt in February, I think, but I haven't seen it. I'm going to email them again now and see what the update is.

I just received a reply from these guys about their US version. I wrote:

"I emailed you back in November or December because I had heard that a
version of your Navigator 4 software was going to be released with US
map support. I was told that this is in the works, and might be released
in February (or was it March?). I'm just curious what the status of this
is. Thanks!"

Their reply:

"Small delay of about 8 weeks."

So that's promising. I'm still in the hardware-install phase of my project, and I'm having issues with my GPS hardware anyway, so I can afford to wait a bit for it. I'm really hoping it pans out though!

I download the demo from their website, and installed it on my desktop. I wish I were in Luxemburg, because that's the only map that it comes with, so it was sorta impossible to actually take it for a spin.

From first glance it does not seem so touch screen friendly, but I may actually throw down some money for the package when they release it with US maps. When I emailed them yesterday they said US maps would be out "soon".

Very interested to see this, looks good so far!

How about some Australian maps to test this demo on?

FYI, I just emailed them tonight about US maps, and got a reply very quickly saying 'sometime in summer'. For you people in other countries, it can't hurt to email them and ask for your other maps...it will at least give them a sense that there will be at least some market for the work they do...
