Hi Garry,
It looks like it, unless they are all out, using it.

Best Wishes,

Mate, you can not say that it is not one of the best and short reviews of a piece of software.
No craps and to the point

Garry,
I am using CoPilot 10. I have a 12v car computer hooked up to a touchscreen monitor.

Co-Pilot is the only software I could find that works on a computer. At first I did not like it because it was so different to the factory satnav I had been using in another car. But after a week or so of learnign how to use it, I now find it great.

It is a bit "weird" on some of the routes it gives you but overall it is good. The biggest problem with it is it only seems to pick the shortest route (unlike some satnavs which can pick the quickest route) so it oftens takes high traffic roads rather than freeways.

Both jsp and I have Destinator running on laptops. jsp gave me the heads up on how to do it.
You need Map Monkey to go with it, see Map Monkey GPS Navigation for PC

Thanks Adam - maybe not such an issue - everyone I know who has a TomTom or Navman say their systems sometimes send them on some weird routes.

So do you think it is worth the $249 or would I be better buying a cheap no name GPS with sensis maps and just keeping the laptop and Oziexplorer for out of town work.
