I'm a Mapopolis fan. The program is free, so you can get updates as they are available, you can try it out before you buy it, and it is only $99 for the whole USA. But if you aren't planning on using the whole USA, you can get just the counties you are going to use for $9.95 (or so) a piece.

How much for Destinator PN? Please don't tell me to google it -- it would save us both time to just tell me.

I just googled Mapopolis. Looks like crap -- like a kindergardener drew the pics. Any other (better quality) programs available?

I would recommend ALK's CoPilot Live 6 which was just released and is compatible with WM5 which future proofs it. I only know the upgrade prices but I am sure they are competitive with the est of the market. They offer the latest generation GPS chipset in their bluetooth receiver. Which has much better sateLlite lockin times on startup then previous generations. the website is www.alk.com

I have been researching a lot, and I think that either TomTom or OnCourse is the way to go. I'm just stuck on which way!

Seems like TomTom is becoming very popular, which is a good thing.

Seems like another good one. How is anyone supposed to choose?
