Another Newbie Question
yet another newbie question for the folks at Freedom.
Am I to understand that I do not need to install any software for my i730/i760 to use this GPS? Everyone is mentioning they used Google maps/Yahoo?
Please help, I want to buy one for these at the promo price

this has been discussed in this thread but you do need some type of gps software.. i.e. tom tom, telenav, yahoo to go, live search, google maps...

Yep you need a program, I have Tomtom and Iguidance, for me I like Tomtom a little better it seems to be a little more accurate for my area both can be found pretty easy to try out 
A lot of people like google and live which are both okay too but use a data connection as well.
Personally I prefer Tomtom, besides great accuracy and super easy interface it has a great voice announce that you can get a bunch of cool voices for (celeberties and movie/tv characters).

Peer Pressure
I guess all the reading about this GPS has made me want one too.....
Do I need it? No
Will I use it? Maybe
Will I show it off to all my friends? YES

You'll use it. Once you have it in your hand and run a good nav program and fully realize what it can do for you, you're going to say "Oh my God!" |

Just wondering if this deal is still going on.
I sent an email to Chris a couple of days ago and haven't heard anything.

While I wait for Chris to respond with her PayPal info, I went to IGuidance web site and the software costs $109!, TomTom looks about the same....
What is the least expensive software to run the Freedom GPS?
(yes, I'm new to GPS)

The one from a torrent or newsgroup 
Or if your morals get in the way you can use Google map or live search they are free, there is also a freeware project somewhere I can't remember much about it though. |

If you ever travel somewhere, you'll be answering yes to all 3 of those questions. |
