Hi. I am new to the whole gps on your pc thing, so which maps do you need for road runner and do you need another external program?

RoadRunner doesn't have an inbuilt Navigation program per se. It will interface with Mappoint and Iguidance natively, so if you have those programs and maps it will run with those. It also will connect with Destinator using programs called Map Monkey or FreeDrive.

There is a pretty good thread HERE that lists the many options as far as GPS software to use. The thread also explains a few of the likes and dislikes of each one. Definately a pretty good reference when making a GPS software selection.

There is another option HERE that is Free. It is a work in progress, but is definately usable in it's current state, and a good free way to try out GPS if you never have used it before.

I have decided to go with centrafuse when it comes out. It looks a lot more professional and clean.

I agree with you on the road nov, but hes in the down under... so the map data wont work for him.
