CoPilot Laptop 10 Software

Use the PDA version with Map Monkey.

I downloaded Destinator and Aussie maps from a bit torrent (for a test, of course).

Destinator also sends one off on strange routes, too.

Destinator and Map monkey.... Can be had for $0 if you look hard enough

Yep, thats the solution I have and its quite good but not brilliant. The software itself etc is good, its the issue of balancing a 12.1" laptop, the gps leads and the laptop power lead in a easy to see position thats safe and secure when driving and parked:D.

Now that I have an auto diesel soccer mum wagon, I might bite the bullet and join the coffee shop soccer mum set and buy a tom tom.

You need Map Monkey to go with it, see Map Monkey GPS Navigation for PC

Ahh yes, I forgot about destinator. IMO that would have to be the worst satnav program on the market.

Garry, I did not buy another cheap satnav item because I did not want yet another thing stck to the dash. Since I already had the computer and touchscreen, for me it was worth getting Co-Pilot.

Exactly - I use oziexplorer with UBD maps (thanks Utemaid) when I go into Sydney but you need to plan the trip before hand and put on the red track line first - works OK except if there is a detour - I just drive for the red line and hope I get back to it - generally works but sometimes I end up in a dead end.

CoPilot might be the go if Destinator ain't so good.

Thanks

Hmm this co pilot sounds good, considering the P38's laptop just died and I need to replace it. For all the critics of putting a laptop in a 4WD, it lasted 3 years, and died due to having a ****** heavy piece of jarrah railway sleeper hit it rather hard....... opps...... :eek: luckily the hard disk is still fine and I could get another compaq evo 500 for little $$...

Mapmonkey has served me well, just in Adelaide theres been a few new roads in the last 3 years since the last map update for this version of destinator.

I dont feel mapmonkey is that bad? I wish there was street names on 3D view though
