I drove 1400 miles using the system.  I would suggest anyone planning on driving around Europe should get TomTom.  The interface is simple, clean and easy: directions were mostly spot on (within feet): system's drive around roadblock option was a lifesaver when I would encounter the frequent WPA-style road projects that litter the socialist world of europe.<br><br>In the US the TomTom software/maps work great too.  It's a solid little system and for the price - as long as you have a PDA - it's a sensational tool for someone who travels often.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bgdc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 14th 2006 7:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on iGo, Mapopolis, and TomTom navigation software compared]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/06/13/igo-mapopolis-and-tomtom-navigation-software-compared/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/06/13/igo-mapopolis-and-tomtom-navigation-software-compared/</guid><description><![CDATA[I use both TomTom 5.1 and Mapop 4.7? on my iPAQ h2200 in Canada and N.E. USA.  I generally prefer TomTom for the ease of use while driving.  I have it mounted to my windshield with a RAM Mount.  TomTom has BIG buttons and the info on screen is easy to read at a glance.<br>What Mapop does better is POI.  I like driving along with Mapop in an unknown area and clicking on a park or body of water.  Mapop names them, and gives info like Phone numbers etc.  <br>If I had to choose just one, it'd be TomTom.  In fact I think I'd even suggest people look at the dedicated hardware.  While my nav system is on a PocketPC with no phone function, it's fine.  I just think if I had a smartphone, I'd miss the bigger screen, and not be happy having to flip screens around to use the phone functionality.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blackfish 95]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2006 1:42PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
