Any good turn by turn gps software out there?
I'd like a flat fee software and not a monthly fee one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

I'm using Garmin XT and it's amazing! Although the visuals lag by about a second, the voice directions are spot on and even try to compensate for speed (i.e. if you're going faster it will tell you to turn earlier).

I just used it extensively the last two days on a business trip and, aside from becoming confused a couple of time, it work really, really well. If you do plan on buying Garmin XT, I suggest not buying it from Garmin, but shop around for it on the Internet. Many places sell the software for less than Garmin. |

Legally?

QUOTE(Athenon @ Feb 16 2008, 03:44) Legally? Yep. I bought mine through Newegg.com for less than what Garmin wanted. I also saw the software being sold on Amazon.com for less than Newegg.com. |

Does the Garmin software require a data connection?
I'm looking for some software that doesn't use the data connection. I don't care if it hogs memory space, I have a 4GB expansion card. Is there anything out there like this? |

There is an option in the settings menu to disable data completely. |
