[Mogul, XV6800 General] TeleFragger:
ill give a stab...

I hang out with a massive group of guys from offroading mud trucks to race cars and car clubs.. so I was able to test what others had as they all wanted to know which is the best and what to go with..

all I can say is after using each one... there is NO ONE that does it all..

first it is about the feel, look and functions...

ill give a short list of the couple I liked and pro's cons on each.. I am pulling this off of memory as I dont own them but thinking about it.... just not sure which to buy...

iGuidance 2009

- This one was my favorite

Pros -

Quick gps fix

ease of choosing a route

nice voice with speach for navigation (tts is it called??)

Can set gps settings manually

Points of interests had everything I looked for

Large buttons when looking for address

ease of adding location to favorites

ease of saving favorites with custom names

Cons:

no online weather

no online traffic

no online points of interests updates

Cant change car icon

dont think you can change voices

no breadcrumb trails

TomTom

Pros -

Quick gps fix

ease of choosing a route

nice voice with speach for navigation (tts is it called??)

Can set gps settings manually

Points of interests had everything I looked for

online traffic

online points of interests updates

seperate dunkin donuts locator - THIS WAS SAWEET!!!!!

change car icon

change voices - yoda, mr t were funny

ease of saving location

Cons:

no online weather - dont remember seeing that one

no breadcrumb trails

Garmin Mobile XT

Pros -

Quick gps fix

ease of choosing a route

Can set gps settings manually

online weather - really nice and you can choose the city!!!

online traffic - really nice as it lists all streets near you

change car icon - only to 3 it seemed... but hell had a lifted truck so i was in

Google Local search - for alot of things and really didnt use it much but looked good

Fuel prices - gives local prices and drive to... this was really nice and accurate for the most part... and can sort (price from lowest is what it sorted) and told you distance.. but one gas station was closed down (not even physically there anymore)

flight status... really really really cool.. showed landed, in flight and scheduled!!!!

Cons:

Points of interests had everything I looked for although some were not easy to find making this a con

voice with speach for navigation - didnt sound as clear as the other 2.. bit choppy

no online points of interests updates

dont think you can change voices

buttons a bit small for touch screen

no breadcrumb trails

couldnt set gps manually.. i couldnt find any settings button to change it... will most likely use the default internal settings so cant use with gps gate

none had breadcrumb trails that can be exported to say google maps... I want this to map where I have been offroading....

Garmin POI transportation was tricky to find the train i take to work... Patco - Lindenwold was there.. but the other 2 found it easier... it was frustrating

so out of those 3 I liked iGuidance the best for look, feel and funcionality..

however Garmin Mobile XT seemed to have more online features that are pretty handy (i dont fly much so flights not important to me)....

since Garmin had Traffic and weather.. it was nice....

tomtom having the dunkin donuts is a life savor as myself and wife love DD coffee... so to have that was cool....

I just cant see buying all 3.. as they each have their own nice features....

Summer is upon us again (but been raining soooo much) but when i get back with the guys.. I wanna see who got anything new... one guy is using the HP 310 GPS for GPS, Movies, music, etc..... maybe he will let me take that for a bit....

hope this helps some of ya..

I also didnt mention mapopolis... it was pretty cheesy looking, worked but dont think it is available anymore.. but also did breadcrumbs

ones that didnt make the list as i didnt get to see them but know they exist..

copilot

street atlas - looked cheesy

Pocket streets

Delorme street atlas

memory map
